description of a familiar object

It is just past noon on a Friday and it is a beautiful day with light blue skies and puffy white clouds like cotton candy. What a nice day to have a large pepperoni and jalapeno pizza I thought to myself. 20 minutes later the pizza guy hands me the box of pizza and I could already smell the aromas of cheeses, jalapenos and garlic butter. The box was warm and I wanted to devour it right away, but then I realized that I’m going to need something refreshing to quench my thirst. I step quickly over to the refrigerator in the kitchen and see that there is only the boring milk and orange juice that I didn’t want to have with my pizza. So I start digging through the leftovers and other miscellaneous items to see if my luck would change. My eyes scanning thoroughly through every level of the fridge to see if there was anything better to drink in there. They stop suddenly when they reach the last level like they couldn't believe they had actually found what they were looking for. Turns out there was a perfectly chilled, dark green bottle sitting in the back of the fridge. My heart gets a little excited and I reach my arm to the back and touch the cold bottle that made my hand feel like I was holding a frozen icicle. I bring the bottle out quickly and reach for my old bottle opener on my lanyard from my pocket. The bottle opener locks onto the tan colored bottle cap and gets pried open making a pop sound that lets me know that it's ready to be enjoyed. I grab a clear glass from the cupboard next to the refrigerator and tilt the glass to a 45 degree angle while I pour the frosty golden liquid slowly into the glass like the way I noticed bartenders pouring this type of liquid into their chilled glassware. When the bottle was almost empty I slowly tilted the glass back to the original position to let the white foam develop on top of my frosty golden drink. I can smell the drink even more now and notice a million little clear bubbles rushing to the bottom of the foam and instantly notice the condensation forming on the outside of the glass; letting me know that the drink is at the perfect temperature to be enjoyed. And as I take the first gulp, I immediately feel refreshed like runners feel when they finish their race and get that ice cold cup of clean water. I felt as if now was the perfect setting to continue with eating my pizza and beer for lunch.
