I'd like some more juice, but I don't feel like going downstairs to get it. I know I should probably get up and walk around, but... I don't want to now. :P The hubby is sleeping, and I don't want to wake him. I guess I'm just going to be juice-less and thirst to death for a few more hours.

(Okay, I'm not really that thirsty ( Read more... )
