Tea. And more tea.

I can’t handle making coffee today but the children have been properly trained in boiling water for important things like ramen nooodles and macaroni and cheese (geez – I may have to barf again) so they can at least bring me tea. No one can remember the name. “It’s in an orange box, Mom.” says [...]

G-A-S-T-R-O-E-N-T-E-R-I-T-I-S

It’s not fair. During the school year I feel fine with the occasional sniffles. But come summer my body takes on a different tone altogether. “Kelly,” it addresses me. “Why don’t we shut down for a few days? What do you say? How about you stick close to home or any bathroom for that matter? [...]

Ganja Coffee

I couldn’t resist the urge of the Moroccan coffee from Ron again today. Mason found me in the kitchen getting ready to brew it when he saw the dark, plastic bag it came in and asked, “What is this, Mom?” It took a while to convince him it was coffee, but he is 14, after [...]

Messin’ With My Namaste

Of the many things I try to do in the summer one of them always includes some form of obsessing over exercise. I love to sweat. Not just perspire or glow, but get my sweat ON. It gives me a false sense of actually have done some work to change anything on my body. There [...]

Celestial Seasonings Original India Spice chai tea. Hot. It felt like an exotic morning and has, obviously, been quite a day. I made the rest of it into an iced tea for the afternoon when it got hot. Not so much exotic anymore. The word I would choose is HUMID.

I Don’t Need a Hidden Camera. I Need A Reality Show.

My Wickedness Should Be Stopped This morning I stopped at the bike shop to get a carrier put on the back for this panniers bag that I won from Elden over at the Fat Cyclist in the January. After making my purchases (I bought a light for my bike, too) I asked if they would [...]

Moroccan iced coffee with Splenda. If I could describe this coffee with a song, it would be The Four Seasons: E Major, RV 269, “Spring” from Janine Jansen’s album. So, if you hear that song, that is what this coffee tastes like.

Why Come Up With Pithy Titles When No One Guesses?

I was certain that a woman reader, a romantic, a gal who had cried at “You had me at hello” would certainly catch my title from Friday. Are you people on vacation, too? Huh? Where are the movie buffs out there? While I’m in the midst of my FODOS (you know what? I’m not going [...]

My husband let me sleep in until 9:10 a.m. this morning. I woke up after nine. NINE, people. He already had Peet’s Sumatra brewing and was packing for our weekend getaway. Morning coffee never smelled so good as he opened the door to the bedroom and stood there watching me wake up (and it was [...]

Swoon. I’ll Catch You.

I’m probably not ever going to be described as a romantic woman because I’m far too practical for the descriptors that come with it. Most romantic movies don’t do anything for me because they offer such ridiculous plot lines that lead people (okay…they lead women) to hold men and relationships to an unrealistic standard. I [...]
