BlogMe, Baby

July 14, 2006

You know how you can have a small brain fart and it turns out to be bigger than you imagined? No? Ok. Do you know how adding water to gremlins makes them multiply? How about the Bebe’s Kids multiplication theory? No? Fine. Do you know how the acorn can grow into a humongous oak tree? [...]

Peets! Peets! Peets!

July 13, 2006

I didn’t sleep well last night and when I got up I hopped online. I was far behind my friend Karen. She didn’t sleep last night at all and was on this Coffee Crack when we spoke this morning. Girlfriend was putting me to shame in the hyper department! That was an hour ago. Now, [...]

Girlfriend…Lemme Tell Ya

July 13, 2006

Who knew that writing about panties (ahem… underwear for Jenny. Sorry.) would generate such hilarious comments? Not me. I was just speaking for myself and then all the confessions came out. Stand proud, girlfriends. If there is a cause for which I can get behind my sistahs, this is it. Because, girlfriends, lemme tell ya, [...]

Tea For Me

July 12, 2006

I’m back to tea today. It just so happened that I was boiling water for noodles and then didn’t have any so I threw in four bags of Vanilla Ginger Green Tea. When it cooled, I added water, Splenda, and ice for the MOST DELICIOUS iced tea. I’ve had it for dinner last night and [...]

Pain And Panties

July 12, 2006

When I’ve got the time to squeeze in as many appointments as I can during the summer, I take full advantage of it. It’s not that I can’t do them while I’m teaching, but that I sometimes need a day to recover from the agony associated with some of them. When the dentist’s office called [...]

Cuppa To Go

July 11, 2006

I was going to make coffee this morning before leaving, but it’s raining. I want to stay in bed. However, I know myself well enough and can almost plan on lollygagging around until it’s too late to make a pot of coffee but have just enough time to stop at a drive-through (See? Still can’t [...]

Hoo-Ha Two-Time Tuesday

July 11, 2006

Sometimes I watch a commercial or hear a song and one lyric or note or line is stuck in my head for a while. Obviously, yesterday it was a Pizza Hut commercial. Stupid brain won’t get that Hoo-Ha Two-Time Tuesday out of it. Every once in a while I’ll get an email telling me about [...]

French Press Coffee

July 10, 2006

For his science project this last school year, Mason borrowed the glass pot to my french press coffee maker since it was the perfect size for whatever thing he had to do. Since then, I haven’t had any French Press coffee. Today, however, I’m having some. Using Tortuga Rum Cream Gourmet Coffee that’s been in [...]

The Official Summer Check! List

July 10, 2006

I tend to be cranky come Fall if I don’t get some specific things done during the summer that I consider fun and relaxing. If I start school in August and haven’t checked some things off my list, then the school year will be fraught will visions of beaches, museums, and a whole lot of [...]

Celebration Coffee

July 7, 2006

My coffee this morning is in celebration of being done with 2 out of 3 classes. It was special. Just me and my cuppa. In fact, the blend matters not because it was the quiet morning, sleeping in, and leisurely fetching a cuppa that was the beautiful thing about the ritual today. Enjoy some Leisure [...]
