Move Over Turkey...Bring on the Sweet Treats!

Good Evening Everyone! With Thanksgiving just a few days away I felt it would be a good time to post some delicious sweet treat ideas for the holiday. Some of these I have personally tried, however; there are a few that I haven't had the pleasure of tasting. Top off your turkey dinner with something mouth-watering before you call it a day and hit the bed for an afternoon nap!

PUMPKIN PIE- This is my personal favorite. As mentioned in other posts, just about anything pumpkin wins with me. I like to add a dollop of cool whip on top of my slice, just another way to sweeten the tasty treat!

PECAN PIE-  This happens to be my daughter's favorite dessert on Thanksgiving. This year she has actually requested a whole pie be made just for her. I have to say, I think it is quite amazing myself!

BANANA PUDDING- Oh, the banana pudding! In my home, this is my hubby's top favorite, he considers it a must have, especially on Thanksgiving! 

CHEESE CAKE- You can't go wrong with this dessert! Cheese cake is amazing and there are my flavors of this dessert, so I'm sure there is one out there everyone can enjoy!

APPLE PIE- The good ole' American apple pie! I love apple pie...that's all I have to say about that!!

These are just a few of the desserts that is made especially for the Thanksgiving season. Be sure to save room to enjoy these amazingly delicious treats to top off your family dinner...

Until Next Time....♥ HAPPY THANKSGIVING♥

Just About Anything Pumpkin Spice!

Good Morning! Once again I find myself up and wake after 1 O'clock a.m. This is nothing new for me lately, I have been having a horrible time sleeping. Although I find it quiet and peaceful at this time, I would much rather be sleeping, but once again, this is not the case. 

As you can tell by the picture I posted above, I have pumpkin spice on my mind. I absolutely love just about anything pumpkin spice, especially pumpkin spice cappuccino! Our local convenience store only seems to sell it in October and November, but I could drink it all year long!

Is everyone gearing up for Thanksgiving next week? I know I am. I love this holiday, it's a great time for family, friends and lots of good food! Even though there is a lot of cooking involved with Thanksgiving, it is well worth the work put into the feast! I bet you could guess my favorite dessert...pumpkin pie, of course! 

I hope everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving and enjoys the company and great food! 

Until next time....♥

Turkey & Pumpkin Pie...Oh My!!

Good Sunday Morning! 

     I woke up this morning to the smell of coffee and the sound of rain. With the temp in the 30's and rain, coffee is just what I need! Everyone here is still curled up in bed snoozing, I am the only one up and around. With just the sound of my fan humming, I sit here enjoying my quiet time, sipping my warm coffee.

With a variety of topics swimming around in my head, I am trying to decide what to write about this morning. The only thing that comes to mind at the moment is the upcoming holiday, Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite times of the year. I look forward to spending time with family and friends, a delicious meal with turkey, dressing and all the trimmings, as well as pumpkin pie and banana pudding! 

Wow! Just writing about that makes me want to avoid the scale for the next month! That's the only downfall I see to these holidays, the food is amazing, but your body possibly packs n a few extra pounds. I bet the local gym's get a lot of business after the new year! Everyone wants to hit the tredmills running, trying to recover from all the great food they were tempted with between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Well, it's time to refill my coffee cup. I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Until next time....♥

 

Fall Leaves & Family

Hello Everyone! I know it's late, but the urge to write something just hit me! I was out riding today with my hubby heading to my dad's house to visit my youngest grandbaby and when we turned on the side road towards his house, I noticed all the beautiful fall colored leaves filling the trees. I absolutely love the colors of this season. 

After our visit, we headed back to town and took care of some needed errands and then grabbed us a bite to eat before coming back home. I know it doesn't sound like an action packed day, but I really enjoyed it. I spent time with my youngest grandbaby and my oldest grandbaby also got to spend time with her little sister! I miss my middle grandbaby, due to circumstances beyond my control I haven't seen her in a few weeks. I pray everything works out and that changes.  In additon to that, I spent time with my dad and stepmom. I love my family and spending time with them, if only at time for just a few minutes is a highlight to my day.

My two children moved to Nashville and I miss them very much! I don't get to see them as often as I used too :( I know, children grow up and move away, but I just wasn't ready for that. But, they seem to be doing good. 

Well, as mentioned earlier, it is getting late. I am going to log off here and get some rest. I hope everyone has a great night...

Until next time.....♥

Please Take A Moment To Read This!!!

HELP!!!

PLEASE DON'T ALLOW GREEN TREE SERVICING TO TAKE MY FAMILY'S PROPERTY!!!

7505 Highway 69 N. Saltillo, Tennessee

Please read this statement.

The property listed as 7505 Hwy 69N aka 46685 Hwy 69, belonging to the Estate of Howard Glendale and Rubye L. Easley, is officially listed in Hardin County records as being the property of myself, Steven W. Easley to which I do not owe Green Tree Servicing anything.

As the heir, I was instructed by representatives of Green Tree Servicing not to make any further payments on the above listed property because the property was going to be charged off by Green Tree due to the fact that the company had determined that the property did not have enough value to justify proceeding with foreclosure, and was officially removed from their foreclosure list, and I was informed that I would be sent a release letter from Green Tree Servicing once the charge off had been completed.

However, Green Tree Servicing waited until after the loan was in default, to inform me that no they had never said that and they intended to sell the property for, "pennies on the dollar," to a third company. This property is being offered by the representatives and agents for Green Tree Servicing because of lies and false promises made by this company.

If the property must be sold despite the misrepresentations and out right lies told to me by Green Tree Servicing LLC., employees, I ask that no one out bid me for my own land. And allow yet another family's property to be taken.

Scheduled sell date: Thursday, Nov. 13, 2014 at the East Door of the Courthouse, Savannah Tn.

Pumpkins, Gouls & Goblins...Oh My...

Hello everyone! I know, I haven't posted in quite some time. I guess you could say I have been in a rut or having writers block. I really don't have a good excuse for not keeping up with my blog, and I know that doesn't look good on my part as someone who enjoys blogging. To those of you who follow my blog, I truly am sorry for leaving you hanging.

So, what has everyone been up too? Are you gearing up for Halloween? Have you bought a costume yet? Is your cabinets filled with candy, just sitting there waiting for all the little gouls and goblins to knock on your door saying, "Trick or Treat!"

I enjoy seeing all the cute costumes the children wear. I know this is an exciting day for them, they can't wait to get a bag full of candy and then go home and dive into the sweets. I know parents across the US are dreading their kids being hyped up on candy for several days afterwards. But parents, you know you are sneaking some of that candy for yourselves, come on, everyone does! LOL...

Well, I hope everyone has a good night...

Until next time ♥

Finally Back Online!!

Hello everyone! I have been silent on here for some time. We have been in the middle of moving and just recently gotten our internet back up and running. I will be posting on a regular basis now, I apologize to those who read my posts.

I'm sure everyone knows that moving takes time, and when you have to have your internet transferred, you have to wait on the company. It sucks! However; I hope ya'll have had a great few weeks! I know I have missed posting and reading comments, so be assured, I am back!

Until next time... ♥

"All the Coffee Beans in Columbia Wouldn't Make Me a Morning Person!"

Good Sunday morning to all the coffee drinker's out there. Today I woke up to sunshine! The past few days have been awakened to rain and cloudiness. So far I am on my second cup and counting, the sunshine has made my morning, I feel as if I have a little pep in my step.

I want to share some funny quotes with you today. I'm in a good mood and I want to share it with you.

• I feel, sometimes the walls move...Do you drink coffee?
• Lets take a moment and think if I'm a morning person....nope!
• All the coffee beans in Columbia wouldn't make me a morning person.
• I may not cry over spilled milk...but I'll look my freakin' mind over spilled coffee!
• "Coffee," the magical substance that turns, "Leave me alone or die," into "Good morning, Honey!"

• You're cute and all, but I'm not sharing my coffee.

I hope ya'll have a great Sunday! And lets hope we can put away the umbrella's and rain boots for a few days!!

Until next time...♥ 

Put Away The Flip Flops...Hello Boots!

It's Friday!!! T.G.I.F! I selected this picture of coffee full of sunshine because it is a wet and rainy day here in West Tennessee and I wanted a little bit of brightness! Fixing my morning cup, I glanced out the window and seen my yard is wet and full of mud! I have errands to run later, but you can be sure I am not wearing my flip flops. I can't stand that feeling of mud squishing between my toes! (So today, boots it is!)

Next weekend is my daughter's birthday weekend! I hope it is full of happiness and sunshine. Hopefully the wet weather will take a break for a few days. We are planning a bonfire, so if it rains, our plans will go down the drain.

What are your favorite things to do around a bonfire? Sitting and talking with friends, roasting marshmallows, possible an alcoholic beverage or two? If alcohol is involved, please be safe, things can get dangerous!

Well, I hope everyone has an amazing weekend!!

Until next time....♥

 

Serious Case of Bed Head!

Good Tuesday morning! I see everyone made it past the Dreadful Monday. I slept in this morning, however; I still feel like a walking zombie. I'm still on my first cup of coffee and my hubby just informed me that I have a serious case of bed head!

Oh well, I can deal with it. I know I need to get motivated, but I just can't bring myself to get up and move. I blame it on all the rain we got last night, along with a rainy morning. When it's wet and gloomy outside, I just wanna stay in my PJ's and hang out around the house.

On another subject, I did a lot of cleaning yesterday, along with mopping all the floors, but now my living room looks as if a toy factory exploded! Lol, it's all good though, two of my grandbabies are here, and if they are playing and enjoying themselves, that's all that matters. I will clean the house back up when they are finished.

Well, I hope everyone has a wonderful day...

Until Next Time... ♥

Rising Star & Coffee...

Hello All! It's after midnight and I am still up and drinking coffee! My daughter and I have been watching the new show, "Rising Star." It's a pretty good show, but I like the show, "The Voice" a whole lot better!

What have all of you been up too this weekend? I've gotten to see all my grandbabies and have a good time with family and friends. I really want to go swimming! I love the water and going to the lake. I've only been swimming once this summer and I want to go more often, but things keep coming up that prevents me from doing so.

Tomorrow is Monday!! Are you all rested and ready for the work week? I know everyone says Monday's suck, but look at it this way, it's one day closer to the next weekend!

Well, I hope everyone gets some rest! Have a great night!

Until Next time...♥

Cookout, Family & Friends!!

Good evening everyone! I have had a full day! My hubby and I went to lunch with my daughter & my son's girlfriend at Kokoko's Diner. We all enjoyed a good cheeseburger & fries. I then came home and worked on my story I have been writing.

Tonight we went to my hubby's bosses house for a cookout and more fireworks! I had a great time. The fireworks were awesome and I got so stuffed on the amazing food!

It's now time for me to work on my story again, I'm really excited about this...I hope something good comes from writing!

Have a great night!

Until Next Time... ♥

Truck Stop Coffee...Now Bed Time...

Good morning! It is currently 2:40 a.m. and I have been home from a trip with my hubby on the big truck, freshly showered and coffee induced. I wanted to write a quick post to everyone before I called it a night (or should I say morning!) and go to bed.

My hubby has to leave back out in just a few, but I am staying home. The run he has to make is not too long so he will be back sometime in the afternoon, then we can begin the weekend! It was good to go on a trip, but returning home I was faced with my house a little disheveled, so now when I finish getting me some sleep, I have the task of house cleaning. Like I said before, housework is never done...it's always an on going process. But, it can wait...I'm going nitey nite...Sweet dreams...

Until next time...♥

Sitting at Pilot!

Good afternoon everyone! I am currently on the road with my hubby in the big truck. I just realized I can post from my cellphone... I am sitting at a pilot truck stop while he takes a quick nap and then we head home. We have about 200 more miles to go! I know I am ready to be home and get a shower and fresh cup of coffee!! I hope everyone is having a great day!!! Until next time :)

Rainy Day, PJ's & Coffee :)

Good morning friends! It's a rainy day here in West Tennessee! We had a couple of storms last night which was accompanied by a lot of thunder & lightening. As I've mentioned before, I don't like storms, but I do enjoy the rain. 

While having a late dinner last night with family we were serenaded by several claps of thunder along with close flashes of lightening! There were a few times I jumped in my seat. When It was time to call it a night, I crawled into bed and covered my head. Apparently more storms rolled through here during the night, but thank goodness, I slept through them. If they had awakened me, it would have been a long, sleepless night.

Fortunately, I was able to get a good nights rest. Now I am up and enjoying a good cup of coffee inside where it is dry and comfy. 

How is your morning? Are you sitting with your coffee and gearing up for the day? Here at my house, it feels like it's going to be a PJ kind of day. There's no need to get out of my comfy pajamas, I don't plan to tackle the wet streets and busy traffic.

If your headed out and live in my area, be sure to wear your rain boots and grab an umbrella, we have more rain on the way!!!

Until Next Time...♥

Attempting Never Ending Housework, Yep, It's Monday!

Good afternoon to all my fellow coffee addicts around the world! I hope everyone enjoyed their 4th of July! Now it's Monday and back to the grind. I set my clock to get up early this morning to go to Saltillo and help my hubby clean some property we have there. As soon as we arrived and unloaded the tools, my hubby gets a call to go to work. He has to drive to Georgia tonight and deliver in the morning. So, we loaded everything back into the truck and headed back home.

I am now home and multitasking. I am writing this post, doing laundry, washing dishes and cleaning the living room. Thank goodness for coffee, it is what is keeping me sane at this moment! Somehow, I just knew today wasn't going to go as according to plan,  but it is Monday right, nothing seems to go right on Monday's.

I can't complain too much though, I have a wonderful family and I am happy! Multitasking and cleaning the house is an everyday thing for me. Although, there are some days where I wish I could sleep as late as I want and just lounge around all day!!

I hope everyone has a good day, whether you're at work or at home attempting the never ending housework.

Until Next Time...♥

Possible Walking Zombie in Just a Few Hours...

Just a quick post to let everyone know it's almost 2 a.m. and I am still awake. It has been a long weekend, but a good one. All three of my grandbabies and both of my children are spending the night. You know what that means? It means I need to get my butt to bed before all the kids are up at the crack of dawn and I'm a walking zombie...

Goodnight...or should I say Good morning ya'll...

Until next time...♥

Boom, Boom, Boom...Fireworks Galore!!!

Hello to all my coffee drinking friends! It has been as few days since I have been able to post. I am babysitting my 9 month old granddaughter and she takes priority, not to mention she keeps me on my toes! She is asleep for the night, (Hopefully!) She slept really well last night, she only woke up once. 

How has everyone been? Is everyone looking forward to 4th of July weekend? I hope ya'll have a lot of fun, but please stay safe! I plan on going to Pickwick Lake and having a picnic and then watch the fireworks, but that all depends on if I am able to get a canopy with netting that goes around it, that way my grandbabies won't get sunburned in the afternoon or mosquito bite in the evening while enjoying the fireworks.

Pickwick usually puts on a good show for the 4th of July, but there has been times when I felt like it wasn't worth spending the day out there. I really hope this year is awesome! I know there is going to be a huge crowd there, which sucks for me because I have anxiety when it comes to big crowds. I hope to find a spot where there is some space so I won't feel like there is so many people crowding me. 

Well, here's to hoping everyone has an awesome Independence Day!!! And while you are celebrating, please remember the true meaning of this holiday!!

Until Next Time... ♥   

T.G.I.F Let The Weekend Begin!!

Good Friday Morning Everyone! I'm starting my post a little early this morning and I haven't had much coffee yet, so I'm feeling a little sluggish. I know I should be more upbeat because today is the start of the weekend, believe me I'm trying...(come on coffee, kick in already!)

I was just thinking, I can't even remember when I started drinking coffee. All I know is coffee is not just a morning pick-me up for this lady... I drink it all day long! I know some people drink coffee to keep themselves awake, but it doesn't have that affect on me..I can do some serious sleeping no matter how much coffee is running through my veins!!

So, what do all my blog followers have planned for this weekend? I don't have much planned myself except for cleaning the house, but that is a daily thing for women. But I know the 4th of July is coming up and hopefully I will be down at Pickwick Lake spending the day swimming and watching the fireworks that night. I love to go to Pickwick on the 4th, the only thing is there are probably thousands of people there every year and it gets really crowded, but to me it's worth it!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Until Next Time...♥

Birthday Get Together!!

Good evening fellow coffee o'holics! I'm still up and going tonight, had a pretty busy day with a lot of good company. Today is my son's 21st Birthday and I baked a cake for him and his sister baked him some cookies and made him some hot wings!

I tried to eat some of the hot wings, but they were just too dog gone hot for me!..lol... So, I settled for a couple of cookies and a small piece of cake. All and all, it was a good day, except for my son's full blooded 12 week old German Shepard went missing. I have posted a picture of his dog and my son's phone number on Facebook. I really hope his dog shows up soon!

My daughter has her 20th Birthday coming up next month! That's another reason to have a get together and celebrate! 

Well, I think I'm going to finish this cup of coffee and call it a night, it feels like its been a very long day!!!  

Until Next time...♥    Below is a picture of my son and his missing dog :( His dog's name is Whiskey... "Come home soon Whiskey...We miss you!!

Morning Coffee on the Road??

Good morning my coffee drinking friends! Sorry I haven't posted in a few days, I went on a trip with my hubby on the big truck. We got back home yesterday, but I spent the day relaxing and cleaning a bit. 

We left out Sunday evening and went on a run to Texas. We had two drops, one in Round Rock, Texas and one to El Campo Texas. On the way back when we got to Houston we ran into a big storm brewing up. I don't like storms!! It was raining so hard we could barely see out of the windshield. There was very loud thunder and extremely close flashes of lightening! 

On a different subject, being on the road means not getting coffee sometimes when you first get up in the morning. If you're not at a truck stop, you may have to ride for quite a while before being able to stop for coffee, there are times when truck stops are few and far between. 

All & all, I had a great trip and got to spend some quality time with the hubby! But, I am back home now, and the first thing I did when I got up this morning is fix me a cup of coffee, no more waiting to find a truck stop to get my morning coffee! (At least not til the next time I go on a trip!)

I hope everyone has an amazing day...and here is a shout out to my son who turned 21 years old today!!!!!

Until next time.... ♥

A Cartoon Filled Weekend!

Good Friday morning! Are you ready for the weekend? I'm going to have a busy household this weekend, two of my grandbabies are spending it with me, so I will have a 4 yr old and a 9 month old! I consider it a good thing, but I know by Sunday my hair may be a little thinner..lol

I foresee my house being noisy, cartoons playing and toys everywhere, but that's a sign of a happy household when you have precious grandbabies over visiting!   I also know that there will be a lot of cleaning to do! I hope it doesn't sound like I'm complaining because I'm not, There is just a lot that goes on when you have little ones for a few days! But, I'm going to be one happy granny!

Well, gotta cut this post short, they will be arriving shortly!

Until next time... ♥

Swimming & Precious Grandbabies ♥

Good Evening All! It's 10:30 p.m. here in West Tennessee and I am still up and drinking a fresh cup of coffee. Today has been a great day and I am enjoying myself and relaxing in the quietness! Here's a little run down of my day...

One of my precious grandbabies came over this morning and we took a friend of mine to the doctor. Then we met up with my daughter and another one of my grandbabies and we went swimming at Pickwick Lake! It's been so hot here and the water felt amazing! After swimming I got to spend a few minutes with my youngest grandbaby who turned 9 months old yesterday! 

It was great getting to see all my beautiful grandbabies in one day! I am very proud of them and my heart swells with so much love for them! I am also proud of all their parents, they are very wonderful and great with the babies! 

I am 39 years old and I have 3 amazing grandchildren! At least I can still keep up with them...lol...don't get me wrong, even at 39 it wears me out at times...but it's all worth it!

Well, it's been a long day and the swimming and sunshine has made me tired...I will post more in the morning, it's now time for me to get some rest! Goodnight!

Until Next Time... ♥

Hot Coffee & True Blood!

Good Wednesday Morning! I am up and about with my first cup of coffee. My eyes are still a little blurry and I'm not fully awake, but I'm here writing my post for the day. I had a late night, which was my own fault. I was up re-watching the seasons of the show, True Blood. 

I am a big fan of the True Blood series, the last season, season 7 begins soon and I can't wait! However; I am not too happy with the way things are going with the show. My favorite character is Bill Compton, but his character has took a turn that breaks my heat, but it's all good, I know he couldn't he a good vampire forever :( Actually, there are a lot of characters on the show that I really like, such as Sookie, Alcide, Jessica, Eric, Sam & Lafayette! I hate the fact that season 7 is going to be the last, but all good things must come to an end, but it's ok, I can always re-watch them!

Who else loves True Blood? What are your thoughts on how the show is going? Who is your favorite character(s)? Are you upset that the series is ending? Feel free to leave me comments and I will answer back, I'd love to here the feedback from other True Blood fans out there!

Until Next Time... ♥

No News is Good News!

Good evening! How is everyone this Tuesday? I'm sure everyone is glad that Monday is finally over! Today has felt like a long day for me, I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. The weather here has been nice, but it is getting hotter. We have had to do a few outdoor activities this week and I tell you what, I got drenched with sweat from the heat! But, it's all good, I would rather it be summer instead of winter!

I know this is a weird thing to talk about, but I am kinda bummed that I haven't received any mail in the last few days. Every time I  walk out to the mailbox and open the flap I am staring at an empty container and I think to myself, "Well, I walked out here again for nothing!) LOL... I guess it's like they say, no news is good news! At least I don't have to get in my truck and drive across town to a p.o. box for nothing.

My e-mail is a different story. lol... I have over 1000 e-mails in my inbox, but unfortunately most of it is junk mail! I know I should clean out my inbox, but it seems to take forever to delete all of them at like 25 at a time...oh well, I'm sure I will eventually conquer the task of emptying it out! I know, I'm procrastinating... 

Until next time... ♥

Happy Father's Day to All the Dads!!!

Good Sunday Morning Everyone & Happy Father's Day to all the dad's out there, I hope you have an amazing day!

I hope all the dad's get the love and attention they deserve today and spend some great time with family & friends! Who knows, maybe to all those coffee o'holic dad's out there can just relax today and have coffee brought to you all day! Take it easy and enjoy your day!!!

Happy Father's Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ♥♥♥

Until next time... ♥ 

Coffee & Solitaire...

Good evening everyone! It's Coffee O'Clock! Which in my opinion it's always time for coffee no matter what time of day it is! I know, this is another evening post, and yes, I the coffee o'holic that I am is still drinking coffee! I drink coffee more than any other drink, I admit it, I am addicted!!

Here lately I have been addicted to solitaire! I have found myself sitting at my computer for long periods of time clicking my mouse as I flip through the cards on my screen. I don't know why I seem to be attached to this game so much! When I am doing other things, the next thing I know I'm shuffling through the cards again on another solitaire game! I seriously need to find something else to do, I'm going to end up matching cards in my sleep if I don't stop! I will try not to play another round tonight, but I'm not promising anything! (LOL)

Have any of you ever been addicted to a game online? I swear I think these games they develop can suck you in..Before you know it hours have flown by and your still sitting there staring at your screen! I guess there could be worse things to be hooked on...at least I'm home minding my business and not out there getting myself into something I shouldn't be!

Well, as I sit here and try not to click on the solitaire link, I hope everyone has a great night!

Until Next Time.... ♥

Water & Sunshine...I Wanna Hit The Lake!

Wake up, it's coffee time!! I'm on my first cup this morning and I know there are a few more needed to get me motivated, but I am awake enough to start my post! (WooHoo!) So let's begin...

How is everyone this Wednesday morning? It's officially the middle of the week, only a few more days until the weekend! What do you all plan to do on your days off? It's been storming here quite a bit, I am kinda hoping the sun comes out of hiding so I can go to the lake. I know the rain is necessary and a couple of storms are okay with me, but I'm ready for some sunshine and a cooler packed for the lake and a long swim! I haven't been to the lake yet this summer. I know, it's still early June and there is plenty of summer left, but I'm ready to get this thing started!!! (Sunshine & Water!)

I have been canoeing though! My daughter and some other friends and family went to the Buffalo and did the 10 mile, and let me tell you, that was rough! Especially since I do not know how to canoe, thank goodness I had my daughter-in-law with me who knew how too! I can say I did have fun, but by the time we were finished, I was burnt to a crisp! This has been about 3 weeks ago and I  am still peeling! I keep saying I won't do it again, but deep down I know I probably will!

Well, I hope ya'll have an amazing day!!

Until Next Time.... ♥

Coffee Doesn't Ask Silly Questions, Coffee Understands!

Good evening everyone! I know it's late, but as always I am still sitting here with a fresh cup of coffee! I thought I would post something a little up beat, so here are a few coffee jokes and sayings I found while searching the web...hope you enjoy a giggle or too...

Q: What do you call sad coffee?" A: Despresso.

A man went to his psychiatrist and said, "Every time I drink my coffee, I get a stabbing pain in my right eye," The psychiatrist said, "well, have you tried taking the spoon out?"

I love how coffee tricks me into thinking I'm in a good mood for about 27 minutes!

A balanced diet consists of a cup of coffee in each hand.

Coffee doesn't ask silly questions, coffee understands.

I'm not responsible for anything I say until my first cup of coffee!

Why yes, I drink coffee at 3 in the afternoon, it's 7 a.m. somewhere.

Where would I be without coffee?? In Bed!

I hope ya'll got a few giggles out of this post! The past few days have been a little stressful here so I wanted to post something a little light-hearted! Goodnight everyone!

 

Until Next Time... ♥

One Stressful Day!

It's Monday! Yesterday was a rough one for me yesterday. My son was in a bad car accident, but thank goodness he is okay. I was so worried and upset, but he was released from the hospital is now home and resting. 

I really hope today goes better! I'm getting too old to get so scared! I know as a mother I have been scared for my children before when they were really sick, but yesterday was so stressful! I was so worried, especially when I seen what my son's car looked like after the accident.

I hope everyone has a good day...

Until next time.... ♥

Good Sunday Morning!

Good Sunday Morning Fellow coffee o'holics! It seems it's taking me a little while to get motivated this morning. As I sit here typing I still feel a little blah! I hope this feeling ends soon because I don't want to be slugish all day today :( 

All the storms we were hit with last night are gone. It got pretty rough for a while. There was a lot of high winds and rain, along with loud thunder and a lot of lightening! I haven't been outside yet, but I have heard there are a lot of trees down throughout town. So, if your traveling in my town today, please keep an eye out for debris in the road.

I know I have mentioned it before, but here it is again...I don't like thunder storms...so here are a few safety tips on dealing with these scary storms!

• Cancel all outdoor activities
• Unplug all electrical objects (TV, Computer, etc..)
• If you are in open waters, get out and go to shelter on dry land
• Stay indoors if possible

I know everyone probably already knows these tips, but thought I would share them anyway. 

Until next time... ♥

Doc McStuffin's Party & A Tornado Warning!!

Good evening everyone! I know I am posting a little late, but I was attending my grandbaby's 3rd Birthday party! It was a great Doc McStuffin's themed party filled with lots of kids, family and friends!

Just as the party was ending and everyone was heading home, some bad weather moved in and now it is storming and we are currently under a thunderstorm warning and a tornado warning! I know it is pouring rain outside and I can hear constant rumbles of thunder.

I don't like storms! I know my dog don't either because she is laying beside my chair and if I move she follows me everywhere. It's okay though, she keeps me company... I'm just glad we made it back home from the party and in the house before the pouring rain hit!

I'm now going to relax and enjoy the sound of the rain...hope everyone has a great evening!

Until next time... ♥

Late Night...Party Tomorrow!

Good morning everyone! I am sure fueling up on coffee this morning. Our family had a very late night. I didn't get the chance to crawl into bed until after 3 a.m. and some of my family members haven't even had the chance to sleep yet! But it's okay, because when something comes up with family and we need each other, we do our best to be there. I'm just glad I was able to be there for support.

When I woke up and glanced at my phone it was noon! I guess my body needed the rest. I haven't slept that long in quite some time! Tomorrow is one of my grandbabies birthday parties! She will be 3 years old on June 8th! Time sure does fly by!

Well, I'm going to cut this post short, I'm gonna get ready and help my daughter get her house ready for the party tomorrow! Hope everyone has a great Friday...

Until next time.... ♥

Logging coffee

Hello my fellow readers, trucker's and friends! I thought I would post about what my hubby likes to call "Logging Coffee." Every morning when I wake up the first thing I want is a cup of coffee. Well, when you're on the road, there are times that's just not possible. So, when we finally do get a chance to pull into a truck stop, the only thing on my mind is fresh, hot coffee.

There are times when we have to be quick about getting our purchase so we can roll on down the road to our delivery. Well, ya see, I can't drink straight black coffee. I have to add creamer and sugar to be able to drink it. There are some places who have a variety of flavors that you can add to your coffee as well. So, when I go in to fix my coffee, (Contaminate it my hubby says.) it takes me a few minutes to get it just right.

When we are at a truck stop that offers the variety of flavors for your coffee, I look at each flavor and try to decide what I want to add. Since this task takes a few minutes, along with adding my creamer and sugar, my hubby says it takes so long for me to fix my coffee that he has to log it..lol..

It's a running joke we have with each other now..when we stop to get coffee...he says, "Don't take so long I have to log your coffee!"

Wouldn't that be a funny story he would have to explain to the DOT officer if he ever had to have his log book checked! lol...

Over & Out!

New Park in Town!

Good Morning! I slept in a little this morning and I'm just now drinking my first cup of coffee. I couldn't get myself to crawl out of bed, I was warm and comfy! But, I made myself get up and face the day. (Aghhh, I didn't want to!) I feel about as blah as the face on this coffee picture I posted.

Yesterday I went to our new park that opened. They did an amazing job creating a great place for children to play during the summer. The park has swings, slides, a splash pad and much more. I can tell they put a lot of thought into this park, I am sure there are several happy children in town now that are bugging their parents to take them to the park.

It was a little too crowded for me, but I'm sure after a while it will calm down and I can go back and enjoy fountains, walking paths. I plan on starting to go there in the evenings and take full advantage of the walking paths they have built around the park.

Well, I hope everyone has an amazing Thursday! Almost time for the weekend...hang in there...

Until next time... ♥

 



 

Expecting Sunshine...Greeted with Rain :(

Good Tuesday Morning! I hope everyone made it thru Monday without a hitch! This morning is another day to get up, fill your coffee cup and get motivated! I know, it sounds easier than what it really is to crawl out of bed and face the day, but as I see it, it's another opportunity to drink more coffee..lol... there is no such thing as too much coffee. Well, I'm sure drinking a lot of coffee is not good for you, but...I'll take my chances.

When I entered my kitchen to fill my cup this morning, I was expecting to be greeted with warm sunshine beaming through the windows, well no such luck :( I was faced with gloomy clouds and sprinkles tapping on the glass, informing me that the sun is refusing to shine. Okay, I can take the rain for a short period of time, but the sunshine better come back from it's hiatus very soon!

Sometimes I wish I lived in California...Oh, that would be so great! I would hit the beach everyday and soak in all the sunshine! I know, it rains in California too.. How about Hawaii...yep, I vote for Hawaii! (too bad I'm scared of planes, so Hawaii is not an option.) Maybe one day if they build a bridge that leads to the tropical islands I would get there...lol...no such luck, I'm not holding my breath!

Anyway, I guess I'll have to deal with the gloomy skies and rain. I hope wherever you are reading this your skies are filled with sunshine...have a wonderful day!

Until next time... ♥  

Half-Caf or Expresso??

Good Monday Morning! I hope everyone fueled up on coffee before heading out to start the work week. I know it's hard to get motivated after a few days of sleeping in. Fresh, strong coffee should help you put a little pep in your step as you head out the door, and if needed, carry a to-go cup with you as you travel. 

This morning I kinda feel like the Half-Caf owl looks in the picture above. However, I would much rather feel like the Expresso owl, but I just don't see that happening. I have been drinking coffee for several years now, I tend to get aggravated if I don't have my coffee first thing in the morning. I know, some would say it's an addiction, but that's ok I'm totally cool with it!

I hope everyone has a good day... Don't let Monday bring you down!!!

Until next time... ♥ 

Up Until 2 a.m. Bring on the Coffee...

Good Morning My Fellow Coffee Drinkers! I hope your Sunday morning has started of with fresh coffee and sunshine. As the weekend winds down and Monday morning approaches, take the time to enjoy the last few hours before the work week begins.

I am on my second cup of coffee and I am still a little groggy. I stayed up until 2 a.m. watching two movies I have heard of but never got the chance to watch. "Flowers in the Attic" and "Petals on the Wind." All I can say is, "WOW!" The children in these movies suffered a traumatic childhood that followed them throughout their lives. I know there are a lot of you that probably know this story by reading the books, but I have never read them. I have heard bits and pieces of the story throughout the years, but to actually see the movie, it is definitely something I won't soon forget.

On a lighter note, it's nice and warm outside with plenty of sunshine here in West Tennessee. However, according to the weather we have a 50% chance of thunderstorms today. It's all good though because I have had a pretty nice weekend and I know with all this heat we have been having, a little rain is welcome! 

Well, I hope everyone has a Blessed Sunday...Enjoy the rest of your weekend...

Until next time... ♥

I hope ya'll check it out and give my new blog some love ♥♥

I will also be continuing this blog as well!!

Until next time..♥

Note to Self..."When Going on Canoe Trip, Bring Sunscreen!"

Good Thursday Morning! How do you like the pic for the post this morning? My brother shared it with me yesterday and I knew I just had to use it..lol

I have been sick the past few days, which sucks! I hate being sick. I think all the heat and sun I endured during our trip floating the Buffalo the other day had caught up to me. It was a fun experience, but note to self....bring sunscreen! I got so sunburned! We also flipped the canoe a few times, as well as getting caught in the rapids and hitting a few trees...I said when we finished our 10 mile that I would never do it again, but deep down, I know I will probably do it again. I had a lot of fun with family and friends and made quite a few memories! Also, there is a lot of beautiful scenery along the river. I seen turtles, caves, rock formations and much more.

Well, tomorrow is the start of the weekend! I really hope I am back to 100% by the weekend, I would love to get out of the house and do something. (No canoeing!) If I am going to do anything that has to do with water, it will be swimming...and I will bring sunscreen!

Hope everyone has an amazing day. I'm going to hang out here at home and continue to rest so I can get this sickness over with!

Until next time.... ♥♥

 

Memorial Day...Remember Our Military and All the Sacrifices they Have Made!

Good Morning Everyone! I know it has been a while since you have seen a post from me, and I truly apologize! I appreciate everyone who reads my post and it wasn't my intention to let anyone down. So again, my sincere apologies. 

How was everyone's Memorial Day Weekend? As you celebrated, I hope you remembered what this holiday was truly about, the wonderful men and women who have given their lives to protect this country, as well as those who are currently serving! 

I know the weekend was filled with family get-together's and cookouts, as well as swimming, camping and other outdoor activities and I hope everyone had an amazing time! I attended a fish fry at my son's house, which btw...had some amazing food! Other than that I stayed home, but had a great visit from family and spent some time reconnecting, I sincerely hope it continues!

The next major holiday coming up is 4th of July! I love that holiday, because it's another day we can celebrate our country and wonderful military members! Not to mention I love to go to the lake and swim til dark, then watch the fireworks!!

Well, I hope everyone has a great Tuesday! Get out and enjoy this summer weather!

Until Next Time... ♥

It's a PJ's Kind of Day....

Good Saturday Morning Everyone! I woke up to a rainy day here in West Tennessee :(  I have been enjoying this great weather these last few days, and to wake up to rain on a Saturday morning is kind of a bummer. Oh well, I'm still going along with my morning routine...I am sitting here with a fresh cup of coffee starting this post. 

What are ya'll up too this weekend? Do you have plans or are you taking these few days to relax in your PJ's in front of a movie? I know there are times I love to stay in my PJ's all day long and just chill. There's a comfort in knowing I can just get out of bed and lounge in my PJ's for an entire day and take it easy!

Rainy days tend to make me lazy. I just want to curl up in bed and sleep, listening to the sound of the rain outside of my window.  Who else enjoys just curling up and listening to the rain hit your roof? It is quite calming to me to be honest. 

I feel this is a PJ kind of day here at my house! I will be sure to keep the coffee brewing (as always) and relax indoors while Mother Nature water's its garden outside..However, I may step out on my front porch and take in the smell of the rain and the freshness it brings! 

Hope everyone has an amazing weekend! Rain or Shine!!

Until next time... ♥♥

I Can't Sleep, So I Shall Ramble...

I know it's 1:50 a.m. and I am still awake... what better time to post on my blog! There are some nights when I just can't sleep and I find myself sitting at my computer staring at the screen wondering what to do. Have you ever found yourself not wanting to call it a night and just surfing the Internet? I'm sure you have...

We had a lot of company today and it got kinda noisy, so I guess I'm still up because it is calm and quite. I love to have company, but I don't like a lot of noise or a bunch of people crowded in one room, it makes me nervous!

On another subject, I am so ready for Summer!! I can't wait to be able to pack a cooler and head for the lake! I really enjoy the sunshine and water! I only live about 11 miles from the lake, so I am going to be finding me a good soft spot to lay my towel and sink my toes into the sand!

I know, that previous paragraph was a little random...but oh well.... lol...

Guess I'll log off now...probably post another when I get up with my first cup of coffee!! Goodnight All...

Until next time.... ♥♥ 

Coffee in Other Languages!

Good Wednesday Evening Everyone! I was thinking, with millions of people all over the world drinking coffee, it would be cool to see how they say the word. I know this is random, but thought it would be interesting! So here we go, here is the word "COFFEE" in a few different languages...

•  Chinese (Cantonese): ga feh / Chinese (Mandarin): kafei
• Danish: kaffe (pronounced kah-FEY)
• Filipino/Tagalog: kape
• French: cafe'
• German: der Kaffee (pronounced kah-FEE; masculine; the “K” is capitalized because all German nouns are capitalized)
• Greek: kafés (pronounced ka-FACE)
• Hawaiian: kope
• Hungarian: kavé (pronounced KAH-vey)
• Irish: caife
• Italian: caffe (pronounced KA-fee)
• Japanese: koohii
• Korean: keopi or ko-pyi

Well, there ya go...other ways to say coffee in a few different languages. Although I can't pronouns some of these it's still interesting to learn another language. 

Hope ya'll have an amazing Wednesday!!!
Until next time... ♥♥
