I’m not even sure what’s in the pot. It’s robust, strong, an Arabica bean I’m sure and yet…completely nondescript. I have to start asking Kennimus what the hell it is that he’s brewing in the morning. Still, a plot to keep me from buying Starbucks. Isn’t that nice? He’s helping me diet. Never mind the [...]
When I think I’m getting too big for my britches and that I’m all that and a bag of chips (my personal bag o’ chips would be the Sesame Garlic Herb Tortilla Chips from Harry & David if you’re wondering – I’m tasty, good with dip, and easy entertaining at it’s best. How many women [...]
My friend from Australia, Yvonne aka Dragon-Mum, sent me the kindest care package over the holidays complete with ornaments, family calendar with birthdays (hinting,eh?) and coffee and tea from the land of Oz. This morning I enjoyed an arabica coffee billed as an Australian Breakfast Blend and it was completely delicious. The “Cuppa the Day” [...]
Mallory: “So, Mallory learned the meaning of the word DEDUCTIBLE today.” Me: “Really. Oooohhhh. Is that why my cell phone rang right after I dropped you off at the windshield place?” Mallory: “Yeah, but I took care of it when I called dad after you didn’t answer.” Me: “Great. Do tell. What does DEDUCTIBLE mean?” [...]
My mailbox has been filled with great stuff lately. Not the typical jokes or the new smoothie recipes (wow! thank you for the coconut one!). It was from the great Cynthia who introduced me to the newest love in my life. TiVo. She has asked that join with other bloggers writers to interview the founder [...]
The soy latte just didn’t do it for me yesterday. Today I’m having a skinny sugar-free hazelnut latte with regular milk. After that tasty treat I promise I’ll go back to soy. Then, I’m kissing my regular coffee goodbye for a while. Just until 10 more pounds are off. No, eight. Eight pounds. Maybe five. [...]
I wasn’t always this way. Before this, I was kind, sweet, mindful of time and grateful. But then, I started fighting with every teacher Mason ever had and that was due to the fact that I was now playing the role of Mom and Educational Advocate and there wasn’t time to be nice anymore. Enter [...]
Cutting out the cream in my coffee is causing some distress, but I’m managing. Mostly, I’m finding a way to have something sweet-like in the morning anyway. There’s a soy hazelnut latte in my future this morning, but I had to start with something substantial. That means I made a great smoothie this morning with [...]
Understandably, I’ve been absent lately. It’s at least understandable to me. I’ve been with me with whole time. I can’t get away from me. This is dangerous territory where my gray matter is concerned. Why didn’t you send out a search party? Because the world does not revolve around me, apparently. (Must repeat that 3 [...]
This morning I decided to just keep up with my caffeinated self (thanks for all the advice – you guys give MUCH better guidance than my doctor) and do the Starbucks Christmas blend with no cream (pardon me for a moment of silence) or Splenda. Aaaahhhh. Thank God for the spicy Indonesian coffees – they [...]
