Empty Coffee Cup dilemma

I know this is going to come across as some crazy woman pondering something so trivial and stupid as empty coffee cups that litter her desk. Usually find a maximum of 4 empties piling up.

For a moment there I thought I had come up with a solution, invest in disposable cups that way it saves on washing up, then again polystyrene cups are bad for the environment and may be considered dangerous as they are rather flimsy and the content amount is probably not enough to satisfy my fix of coffee needed.

Also thought:
Give up on Coffee, ummm thats a non-starter, imagine a bear with a sore paw rawrrrr.
Force myself to take cups to the kitchen after each cup, problem is I'll have one sitting in front of me and being busy most of the time, husband will bring another cup to me and they mount up. Husband usually will not take empties, or if he does its a grumble.
Reuse the same cup over and over, good idea, only problem is I drink three types of coffee, putting black coffee in a cup thats been used for cappuccino, makes it all yucky.

That's enough of my thoughts at this time.

A Day in the Life......

What a beautiful yet cold day it is here, Sun is beaming down, compared to yesterday's dismal drizzle.
Watching the truely amazing Hugh Laurie at the moment, House is a good show, not as popular here in the UK as it seems to be in America. It's enjoyable to see his character hating everything and everyone, who will he offend next.
I've got 40 minutes before I go pick my children up from school. Then its a trip to the hairdressers for them, then home to cook an evening meal for them.

Daughter, Victoria, needs to tidy her bedroom, she's 9 years old and acting like a stroppy teenager already :( so I should expect some resistance to the "go tidy your room" command. Whereas my son, Samuel, 7, is wonderful when asked to tidy his room etc. My youngest Robert, 4, is a little imp, dropped him off at nursery earlier. He gave a way his batman toy I think or maybe one of the other children took it. Not amused, I'd be so cross if any of them turned up after school with an unknown toy, just wish other parents were just the same.

Been browsing the interwebs, am forever reading the news online to see whats going on, like to keep up to date on all the goings on throughout the world. My brain is like a sponge always thirsty for knowledge. Though at times I think its a bad thing, I get upset by some of the horrific news stories you hear.

Normality

Spent an evening watching Law and Order, House, SVU and Criminal intent on Hallmark. SVU was especially good viewing, Robin Williams sure does make an awesome character in a serious role, seriously creepy, Great pillow fight might I say.

Been working on my Paladin on World of Warcraft, now lvl28 (do have a lvl62 pally on other realm). Will have to slave on my DK for her, as I got her professions as Jewelcrafting and Engineering. Since Wotlk came out, I've lvlled a druid and deathknight to 80, seriously bored so been working on Lowbie alts. These chars are alliance on Argent Dawn realm (EU realms). I also have numerous horde chars on Darkmoon Faire realm (EU realms) got 3 x 70s on there, but not had the enthusiasm to level them up to 80.

I take great pride in calling myself a nerd of sorts. Am a big kid at heart, WoW just fills a void in the evenings, a great form of escapism, the storylines are somewhat witty at times, its enjoyable.

Considering purchasing "Tropic Thunder" on dvd, went to see it last year in the cinema and found it very good, though that same week I went to see that Liam Neeson film "Taken" compulsive viewing, hadn't seen anything like it in such a long time, highly recommend seeing it.

I have a great love of movies, majority though are films from a different generation, Sam Peckinpah, Billy Wilder, and Alfred Hitchcock count among some of my favourite directors.

May get back to my WoW and television, ooo btw I have a serious coffee addiction.
