    Mornin' all, coffee in hand, taking kids to school...
    Up and out early is not in my vocabulary, but I have my coffee to help me through.
    That is great news Alty, really glad you are inspired!
    HChicky, you are wearing comfy shoes? LOL
    See you all later!

    Lol... My shoes are always comfy - whether they are stilettos or tennies! :)

    I love my pink heels ;) Pink wool plaidy skirt, pink blouse, pink stilettos, and a pink travel coffee mug. I'm PINK today! And loving it!

    Thanks HChicky, I'm definitely going to start painting again, I miss it. It's just been so hard to pick up that paint brush since my father died. I actually went through my storage area and got out my paint supplies. I'll have to replace some of the paint (after 7 years some of it is no good anymore) but after that I'm ready to go.

    Do you all want to see one of the tables I made? I feel a bit nervous posting a picture of my work, but I trust all of you and I know that you will be honest about your thoughts. If you want to see some pic's I'll get up the nerve to post some.

    3rd cup of coffee and still counting.

    Yes, yes, yes!! Definitely! I'd love to see them!

    Okay, I tried posting some pic's but I'm having a bit of trouble. I've got to go pick up my sweetie from school right now, so I'll try to fiddle with it again later.

    Keep drinking coffee, I'll be back later. I've got some shopping to do after picking up the kid, then we're going to McDonalds for lunch.

    Bye for now Coffee Buds

    Good lord. My student came in an hour late.

    ... woke up at 720am. Coffee in hand at 1005am.
  • Mar 13, 2008, 09:14 AM

    That is longer than any coffee addict should have to wait for coffee... wow... Sneezy, you're my hero. ;)

    ISF... that could be devastating. Are you going to be all right or do you just need a shot of espresso to catch up??

    The lady I babysit for brought me a almond latte... pretty gooooooood, plus I wasn't expecting the nice gesture... :)

    Today and tomorrow are my days off this week.

    I'm waiting on my coffee still... but I just got up, so it's all good

    I just had a horrible thought...

    What would happen if the world ran out of coffee beans? If the trees stopped producing... the Juan Valdez's of the world stopped "Juan-ing"... if the beans stopped roasting...

    What if the roasters went on strike like the writers??

    Wow...
  • Mar 13, 2008, 09:37 AM

    Well.

    ... imagine a world when you wake up in the morning, and you don't have coffee (NOT unlike my situation this morning)...

    ... how did you feel? Would you have REALLY flipped off that guy on the road if you had coffee? Would you have pushed that woman on the train if you had your coffee? Would you have spit on your co-worker in the cubicle next to you if you had your coffee?

    ... probably not.

    Now... imagine that... exponentially increased. MILLIONS of people... like that.

    Social chaos... at its best. Or worst.
  • Mar 13, 2008, 11:39 AM
    HistorianChick
    That would be evil... awful... chaos... wow...

    Not right at all.

    Its almost 2 PM for me... about time for an espresso to get me through the afternoon! :)

    Not fair, you guys are playing dirty. Now I want a donut.

    I've been busy writing Fr_Chuck a private post about a private post that I received. It was very disturbing. Someone who just joined this site yesterday claims to have seen my profile on another site (I don't have a profile on another site) and is interested in getting to know me. HEKKOo, married mother of two here, might I add happily married. Anyway, this person has yet to post anything on this site, but her private message file is full. I'm not sending anything to her personal email address, I don't want her having mine in return.

    Am I overreacting? It just creeped me out, and usually my gut isn't wrong.

    Advice from my friends would be helpful.

    Heading off to a silly meeting , ah well at least it's Friday.

    Did I scare all my friends away? Were are my buds.

    Friend4U - I finished my computer donut and now I want the real thing, somehow the other just wasn't satisfying.

    I'm off to get the kids to bed, I'll talk to you all tomorrow, Survivor is on tonight, time to see who gets kicked off the island.

    Take care all.

    Well, we all know the tragedy that took place with my coffee this morn.. . I'm seriously considering just firing this student. Actually, I don't have that power... but I DO have the power to just give her to someone else in the lab.

    The lack of coffee... made me take a nap after my run... around 6pm today.

    I was supposed to nap until 7pm... go to sbucks around 730pm to do some work.

    ... I woke up at 1000pm.

    ... now I got to go to dunkin donuts.

    ISF, you are making it sound like going to Dunkin Donuts is soooo bad. Hahahaha
    I saw that they have the most expensive coffee at Safeway, our grocery store, a pound of their coffee goes for a little over 10 bucks and my yummy kind... goes for about 7 or 8 depending on if it is on sale. That was really funny to me...
    I say you give the girl another shot... she may surprise you!
    Good night!

    Ah, I guess I put down DD a bit too much in my prev post.

    Well, I live in the city... and about 2 minutes from my college campus...

    ... so let's just say that DD doesn't live up to MY standards. Haha.

    Just kidding. It's just really not the best/cleanest DD I've ever been to.

    Personally I'm a timmies kind of girl. Nothing like a powdered jelly filled donut to make me smile.

    Sneezy, I'm so sorry your day went badly. I'm sending you some happiness with my mind. Oh crap, mind on the fritz. I really need to go to bed.
  • Mar 13, 2008, 11:07 PM

    Mmmm... I changed the sheets today, and my husband already has the bed all warmed up. Time to set up the coffee for tomorrow, take a shower, and crawl in with him.

    PS--tomorrow's coffee is Packer Perc!

    Morning boys and girls.

    Off to work.

    I will no longer entrust my morning beverage to my student assistant. I will go get my own.

    Good Morning all. More house cleaning for me today, I have company coming over this weekend. Tomorrow my friend and I are going to the "Creative Stiches" show. I'm looking forward to getting out of the house for a while.

    Going to go refresh my cup. Keep the coffee coming.

    Hi Scotty - My kids are at school and I have the house to myself. The worst thing that's happened so far today is that I think one of my bunnies tooted. It's pretty stinky right now. :p

    On a bright note, my coffee was brewed and ready when I got up this morning, so all is good so far. Admin is taking care of my secret admirer so I feel better about that as well.

    How's your day going so far?

    Scotty,

    3 Bunnies (and another coming next month)
    2 dogs
    1 bird
    1 fish

    I'm thinking about charging admission when people come to visit.:p

    The snow is falling? I think we're going to get snow today too. Bums me out, I can actually see my lawn right now and the tulips have started to pop up. Be gone snow!
