Christmas Countdown - 2008

[SparkleNana]

I FORGOT TO THANK DVDGUY FOR LETTING US KNOW ABOUT "SWEET ITALIAN CREAM". IF IT WASN'T FOR DVDGUY, I NEVER WOULD HAVE NOW THIS STUFF EXISTS.

You know, dvdguy really does do a lot to help us have good times!

:merry: Good Morning -- and Good News!!!


I found the Nestle's coffee creamer flavor named "Sweet Italian Cream"! And I report -- I think it is TERRIFIC!

After morning regular coffee -- I switch to decaf. And I don't like decaf. But --- today I tried decaf with "Sweet Italian Cream" -- and I think it is delicious! This is my new, 24-hours a day, Christmas drink treat! :merry:

For the first time I saw a publix commercial for this stuff! It sounds good....Sparklenana how does it taste?

 

[dvdelf]

If enough of us drink it, it should stay on the market

 

[Holiday]

Hey, Holiday! You made it to the peak of the week ahead of me this morning!
How's the view?

Days to the Season: 64
Days to Christmas Day: 106.
Just look! Under a week now to the 100-day Christmas Day milestone.
We just keep going, and going, and.......

Looking Grrrrrrrreat! :hello:

 

[SparkleNana]

Faithmomof6 --- it is rich and creamy and luscious! Depending on how much you use, it makes ordinary coffee taste -- like cappucino!

Snowytree -- it is really good!!! It tastes creamy -- not chemical -- or sort of wierd like some of the flavors for coffee. Now, I do know that food and drink (and wine) tastes different to different people. Just like perfume SMELLS different on different people. Because we all have our own chemical composition.

I love rich-tasting things -- like eggnog and real whipped cream. And this tastes rich like them - to me. I really recommend trying it.

 

[Maureen]

Confused - again! A cappucino is a coffee with froth on the top. What's in your cappucino????

So sad. I despise coffee. Now cappucino...now that's something to drink!!!! I also love Christmas tea, hot apple cider...eggnog...cheesy

 

[SparkleNana]

:hello: Maureen -- in answer to your question, I respond - "Huh"?


I thought cappucino was espresso and hot milk - which makes the froth on top. But I don't really know......

My husband and I have a saying, to use when we are caught in a moment of blank stupidity. The saying is...."Doowickey?"

So, when you asked your perfectly reasonable question about cappucino --- the answer which came to my mind was ..."Doowickey?"

"Doowickey?" should always be uttered in a pleasant voice, accompanied by a blank look. I find it to be a very useful word. :hello:

 

[ChristmasLovers]

People think I'm nuts counting down to Christmas at 100+ days left to go lol.

 

[Crown 84]

Careful! Binger will charge you with blasphemy!

On the other hand, Crown will sing your praises!

[EdNog]

People think I'm nuts counting down to Christmas at 100+ days left to go lol.

I don't!
My countdown sort of starts at 100 days, I am really in the spirit now, with the nights drawing in, Halloween and pumpkins just around the corner and Guy Fawkes Night!

I hope it isn't too early to wish you and evryone here a Happy Christmas 2008!

Might even make some Eggnog later:

 

[Maureen]

SparkleNana, I think we're kindred spirits!!! Different words used but same pleasant voice and blank expression!!!!

Yep, I thought a cappucino was expresso and frothy milk too but (and I'm relying on Binger to keep me right here) isn't expresso REALLY strong coffee???

[SparkleNana]

Good Morning Everybody!!!!!

Do you have a delicious cup of coffee? Or tea? Or ovaltine (full of calcium but no caffine)? Or hot chocolate? Something to sip while you read posts and smile at what your pals have to say today!!!!!

 

[SparkleNana]

Coffee IS what I do love in the morning.

In fact -- did you know that there used to be such a thing as having a "coffee date"?

This was back when there was such a thing as "going on a date" -- which was a one time activity - designed to be a fun event WITHOUT sex! Can you imagine? A date could be a once in a lifetime thing with one person. Or - you could both decide to go on a "second date". Again - not involving sex. Involving conversation and -- a movie, a trip to the coffee shop - whatever.


And - one of the BEST ways to go on a date was to go on a "coffee date". Because - it only lasted for an hour. It would be set up if both people had a one hour break between classes. Or - after classes - before going to a job. Or to study.

There was no Starbucks. So coffee was very cheap (and not so delicious). The coffee date involved the cost of two cups of coffee. And -- conversation. It was almost always quite pleasant. It could lead to more "coffee dates". Or - it could simply lead to a friendship -- saying "Hi" when you passed each other. No strings. Very little cost.

I think it is good to have pleasant things in our lives, which don't cost much! How about you? What do you think?

 

[SparkleNana]

Dom -- Halloween Is Coming!!! And thats a good thing!


EdNog -- Happy Christmas to you, too! It is not too early to wish that to us here! It sounded beautiful to me, when I read it this morning!

 

[Holiday]

Good morning & HAPPY CHRISTMAS!! :-D

I LOVE coffee!! Especially this time of year!!!! Crisp cool mornings & a cup of hot java! Mmmmm! I would like to take my hubby on a "coffee date" but he doesn't like coffee! Lol! (can you believe that Bing...he doesn't like coffee! )

You all have a great day!!!

 

[SparkleNana]

:whisper: Good morning, Holiday!! I think that is romantic to want to take your husband on a date. What can we do if he doesn't like coffee? An ice cream cone date? A walk in the moonlight date? Dates ARE good!

Have a lovely day! cheesy
