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!!!

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... ♥
