It never fails. I make a small pot of coffee, just enough to give me two cups and Lisa decides she wants a cup. Next thing I know, the pot is empty and I can’t get my refill. The next day, I make a big pot of coffee, enough for Lisa and me. This time Lisa doesn’t want any coffee and I end up throwing away at least two cups of perfectly good coffee. It’s like she knows whether I make a small or big pot. Sure, I could ask her if she wants any coffee but she is never up at the time I am making the coffee and I can’t wait for her.
If I want more coffee, I am just going to have to make another small pot.
The work-around, of course, would be to drink Dunkin’ Donuts coffee’, out(Starbucks is so yesterday), and not deal with your sister’s ever-changing whims. They have a good sausage/egg crescent sandwich, and lots of other healthy breakfast choices…
Lisa sounds like a real Jekyl and Hyde, drinking coffee’ one day and not the next 🙂
What was that entry you made about self-absorbed mediocre blog content? In all seriousness (and I mean this with the utmost respect), get a life…
^^^ Don’t complain to me, I have funky looks along with being short (5’11”)(when your twin is 6’3″). With your looks, wit and charm it should be a slam dunk.
As for the coffee, make it super strong that way she will become addicted to caffine.
Have a great week I need my morning walk to lose the pounds I gained this Thanksgiving.

Laugh if you will, but in all honesty, these things have been known to tear marriages apart!
Hey Audra-
If “these things” have been known to tear marriages apart, those marriages weren’t well constructed to begin with.
I have dated [way too many] crazy chicks, some of whom would be set off by minor stuff like coffee’ drinking mismatches or alterations.
Stuff like this is a symptom of deeper, underlying discord. I love my sister, but couldn’t immagine sharing a residence with her.
Peace Out,

Ask her if she wants you to make four cups all the time. Coffee’s so damn cheap that a couple of cups a day one way or another isn’t worth sweating over.
If she says no, then don’t let her have any if you make two and then she decides she wants some. Or tell her she’s got to make more if she wants to take the one cup that’s left.
Next Issue:
Both socks first, then shoes; or one sock, one shoe, one sock, one shoe.
I’m a both socks first guy myself.
Make an extra pot-save it for a week-then set it out for her to consume. She will no longer drink from your small pot. Come to think of it-that is mean.
I was mainly just amazed at the coincidence. I am not mad at Lisa and it is pretty easy to make an extra pot.
