With daughter coming and an executive order to "have coffee" I decided to pick up a coffee maker when I went shopping. After reading the instructions (yes, I do indeed do that; thanks, Dad) I ran a couple of pots of water through it to clean out the plastic residue and I set the clock. Then I thought about how nice it would be to smell coffee when I awoke. I LOVE the smell of coffee. So I decide I will see how well the programming feature works and set it to brew a pot (very small coffeemaker, so no waste, Dad) as I awake. I am awake and wondering, "do I smell coffee yet" several times in the night. So in the wee hours I fall asleep quite soundly. Quite suddenly the alarm sounds. No, not my clock. My intruder alarms. The furry ones that are right at my head. "There is someone in the kitchen !" They are frantically barking as they walk about, and on, my head. "Wait a second...I think the intruder is making coffee!" sigh. New meaning to the term stop and smell the coffee...

about a month ago around 330 I woke up with a start to this loud grumbling noise. I was sure a coyote got in through the dog door and had a kitty cornered.
I get up bleary eyed and stumbled out ready to start screaming...
it was the coffee pot. Mark set it for 330 instead of 430...
Haha, that's excellent. Next time you'll have to remember to start it brewing 1 minute after your bedside alarm goes off. Then when the dogs panic you will already have been warned!
Besides maybe they were just as excited about the fresh smell of coffee as you.
Oh I really needed that laugh today!
