Wow! I have never visited this site with high speed internet - it is amazing!! There is so much that I miss with dial-up!!!!
 
One of the best cups of coffee I've ever had was from Hell's Kitchen in Minneapolis. They roast their own and it is great. They also have the best rosti (not sure of the spelling) potatoes. Their sausage bread is out of the world, and they make marvelous homemade catsup. Man, I wish I could be there for breakfast this morning!!

Hmmmm....now I'm very hungry. cheesy

O yeah, I had dial up once....hope I never have to use it again!! Enjoy your high speed!!
 
Who wants to help me clean up my car? No one?? Well....I guess my daughter has just been enlisted to help. :hello:
 
Hello all! It's sunny, clear skies and chilly here. It's supposed to get really warm starting tomorrow though. I guess I'll be taking the dog for another walk this weekend. So glad tomorrow is Friday in some ways. It's been a long week but, since it's Friday that means I'm one day closer to taking my big unit test in Biology on Sat. Yikes! I don't think that I'm ready.
 
OMG so many coffee drinkers here.. WE ARE TAKING OVER,... ahhhahhhhahhhhh off to the tea cylinder for you Crown..

YABBA

Coffee sounds so good....i think i will go fix some and enjoy a cup or two....somebody is taking a personal day tomorrow, so it doesn't matter how late I stay up!

Guys, I hope your weather is as good as ours! It is so nice to be able to get out of the house and enjoy nice weather. Hope you get the chance soon!

By the way, wife is much better! Gnight to all!
 
Good Thursday morning, all!

I just had a cup of fresh ground columbian...and mean fresh! It was just roasted last week and ground a couple days ago. WOW, that's a good cuppa joe! Second cup coming up.

Ballcoach, I hope your wife is feeling better today!

ElfSpirit, I've never been man enough to drink straight espresso, but we have an espresso machine for mixed drinks like a macchiato. And yoga?? I can barely scratch my own back. There's no way I could bend the way you guys do!

8 months to go till Christmas Eve Eve!cheesy


LOL, Bradmac, about the yoga comments...well, my hubby used to think that way, too...but now you can hardly get him off his mat! He's not a "bendy" person at all, but it's getting better. I have fewer troubles due to my ballet training, but there are some poses that even I say "whaaaa? how in the world do I do THAT???" hahaha Oh well, you just work at it and it gets a bit easier every time.
And about the espresso, I tell you, I had to learn to drink it. I used to drink coffee with milk and sugar (cappuccinos were my favorite!), then phased out the sugar years ago, but since I found out I can't have dairy anymore, I just tried it without anything and I thought, "hey, that's not bad!"...so now I can drink it like my hubby always does...but I can't yet drink the "double" espressos that are extra concentrated...whoa! haha

Ballcoach, good news about your wife. I'm glad to read it!

Santa's Helper, good luck on that Biology exam tomorrow!

Good morning and Happy Christmas Eve in April! :-)

Hubby and I had a CPR refresher course last night after I got home from ballet class...boy, that was a good thing, too, as we had forgotten a lot! Luckily, we have never had to use these techniques yet, and I hope it remains that way. But, it's good to practice.

Today I'm getting the last things done, errand wise, and some laundry and all that sort of stuff...we're really excited about our little trip to Ibiza! Tonight I have ballet and then it's VACATION! Woo-hoo!

I wish you all a fabulous Friday! ;)
 
Good Morning!! The sun is coming over the mountains and it looks to be a glorious day. Have a great one everybody.

Not so fast, my friend. Tea is on the rise!
A new shop (devoted exclusively to tea) has opened at Crabtree Valley Mall. They were handing out free samples of various teas - delicious!

Good Morning, fellow tea drinkers (OK, and cough-ee drinkers, too)

Bright and sunny outside here in Raleigh at this hour where we stand at a still-cool 53 degrees.
However, 86 is predicted for this afternoon, then 90 for the next several days! (Come on, now! Do we have to get THAT hot this early??)

The Weekend Eve count:
Days to the Season: 203
Days to Christmas Day:245
And need I remind everyone that the 1/3 Christmas Day Milestone arrives the day after tomorrow? (I didn't think so)

Have a Fabulous Friday, Friends - and I hope your Weekend has a Wonderous launch this afternoon!

(Hey! I heard an unconfirmed news story that sometimes, for some inexplicable reason, it rains coffee in a small area of SE Virginia.
Hmmm.....Strange.....and why just there, I wonder??)
 
Good Friday, everyone!

It's supposed to be near 90° here today, but I'm already 3 cups of coffee ahead. I usually drink coffee till noon, then switch to water for a couple hours, then on to sweet tea. I love my sweet tea!

Almost 1/3 along?!? That wasn't too bad. I hate to wish my life away, but I'm ready for Christmas Time!

Ballcoach, glad your wife is feeling better. Like they say, when mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.

Have a great day, all!
 
:razz:
Woo Hoo it's friday and it is going to be 82 here today. I am going to celebrate christmas in april a day early and fix a turkey and all of the yummy sides today. As far as coffee or tea I don't do either. I'll take mountain dew in the morning and then water the rest of the day. Hard to believe that we are a third of the way to christmas time has flown by. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Good idea, C-Star.
We can all sit on the front porch at the Shispering Pines, drinking sweet southern tea and eating Mauradio Sugar Cookies while watching Binger turn somersaults on the front lawn.
