Boy, talk about bursting a bubble. Office is clean n’ sparkly now. Sooo, feelin’ the love, thought I’d treat myself to a yummy cappuccino. Ground the beans, dusted off my little espresso maker (haven’t used it in awhile), got the milk ready in my little stainless pitcher, then once the spitting & trickling began in earnest, I steamed the milk. ok. Being in the o-so-efficient mode that I was, I began to wipe the little spigot/steamer stem as I usually do, but I don’t know what the heck I did different… but I turned the steam on again, except (and I can’t for the life of me visualize this as I speak) the steam hit my right finger and I dropped the pitcher of frothy milk, which fell and splattered over all 4 corners of the kitchen floor, bottom of the refrigerator (and inside) and the bottom of the stove. What the hell. waaaaaah…. the pice de resistance after cleaning my office was ruined.
Needless to say the dogs were very happy “mmm, warm milk” and I just slopped some creamer in my “short” cup of strong coffee, and here we are.
BUT, looking at the bright side, I got my kitchen floor washed today too.
whoopee-do.
awww… no fun. but, you know what they say about spilled milk that was intended for a latte….
heh
ha, I guess… know what? You just made me want to make one. What the hey/hay. Where’d that saying come from? and is it “hey” or “hay” – “what the hay?”
I’m drinking cold coffee right now ‘cos I’m too lazy to get up. Gotta pee too as a matter of fact. Ditto about getting up.
geesh.
Ok, that’s my post for the day.
:)
you know, i’ve always wondered that too – is it what the ‘hey’ or what the ‘hay’ ? gonna look it up, brb.
well, I didn’t find much via the magic of the internet. a Google search for “what the hay” brought up a good deal more results than for “what the hey”, though “hey” had some results too. so i think both versions may be acceptable. https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22what+the+hay%22&btnG=Google+Search
i just trolled a couple of word/phrase origin sites, and couldn’t find anything remotely related, though “making hay” seems to be a popular enough phrase. (i’ve never heard it before)
so here’s my guess: maybe “hay” or “hey” are substitutes for hell. instead of What the hell, why not? What the hay, why not… ? i don’t know, whatcha think kittykitty?
Well what the hell.
ha!
You never heard of “making hay?” What about “making hay while the sun shines”….
how about wtf?
hahahahahahahahahaha
ha.
Gotta go, eating popsicles.
