Late Night Jabber!

Hey There!

It's currently 12:30 a.m. my local time and I am still up! This tends to happen to me a lot lately. So many nights I find myself awake in the wee hours of the morning unable to sleep. (Perhaps it's all the coffee I drink throughout the day?) I have been sitting here at the computer, listening to the hum of my fan and as I look over at the couch, my hubby has fallen asleep. I'm just sitting here with one lamp on at the desk, wondering when I am going to be tired enough to go to bed. 

There have been times I have contemplated trying over-the-counter sleep aids to help me rest, but I just don't like taking pills if I don't have too. I don't like to even take anything for a headache. I have tried just making myself go to bed, but I will lay there and toss and turn for so long, I just give up and get out of bed. It was after 4 a.m. yesterday morning before I was able to go to bed and get some sleep. I really need to do something about this because it makes the next day so rough on me...even with the help of coffee.

Speaking of coffee...I'll BRB, gotta go grab a fresh cup...

Well, I'm back with a cup of coffee, lol. Now to sit here and think of something else to jabber about...hmmm...let's see???

I recently just finished all the seasons of the show, "Orange is the New Black!" I must say, I was hooked and now I can't wait until the new season. If you haven't seen this show, it's a must watch! I am now waiting on the new and final season of "The Vampire Diaries!" I am a huge Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder) fan! His character had me at.."Hello, Brother!" I'm really disappointed that this is the final season of this show, I am truly going to miss it!

What are your must see shows? Is there a show you just have to watch and can't stand to miss one single episode? I know I have quite a few I enjoy and I'm currently waiting on the new seasons to start!

Well, I guess this is all for tonight. I will write again soon!

Until Next Time...♥

Coffee Flavored M&M's!

Hey There Coffee Lovers!

I'm so excited, I just read they are coming out with Coffee Nut flavored M&M's! You best bet I will be on the look out for these when I am at the store. I haven't seen them yet, but I will be making a special trip down the candy isle seeking out these lovelies! I bet they are delish and I can't wait to try them!

I'm all about anything coffee flavored! Not everything tastes great with this flavor, but something tells me these M&M's are going to be amazing and sell out quickly! When I find a bag of this flavor, I will be sure to report back on what I think of them! (Something tells me I'm going to be addicted!)

If you have been lucky enough to already have tasted them, please let me know what ya think! (Are they as good as they sound?) Leave me a comment and let me know, I'm excited to see what everyone thinks! 

I'm off on an M&M hunt...

Until Next Time...♥

Pokemon Go!

Greetings Coffee o' Holics!

I can't help but notice all the hype about the Pokemon Go app that is sweeping the nation! From what I have read it's become a very popular app that is causing a lot of issues. Well, I admit, I have added the app to my phone, and I must say it's quite fun and addictive! 

I know everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I have read some stories where this game has generated a lot of good for some people. I just read where one paralyzed man who hasn't been out of his house in a very long time is now outside everyday with his niece hunting Pokemon and socializing with people! Congratulations to him for finding something to help him not be so secluded, I hope he continues to go out every day and makes many more friends! 

Just like with anything else, the Pokemon app has also caused trouble for some. There has even been situations where users have not paid attention to their surroundings and have gotten hurt. I admit, there were a few times where I have lacked judgement in my surroundings while trying to capture a Pokemon, so when you are searching for these creatures, please pay attention to where you are and the things going on around you!

In my opinion, all in all, I think the app is a great idea. It 's entertaining as well as a great way to get outdoors and walk! Please just remember, be aware of your surroundings and stay safe! Good luck!

Happy Hunting :)

1. Dutch- Koffie
2. French- Cafe'
3. German- der Kaffee
4. Irish- Caife
5. Polish- Kawa
6. Spanish- el cafe'
7. Turkish- Kahve
8. Russian- Kofe

Chicken & Dumplings with a Headache!

Good Saturday Evening!

How has everyone's weekend been so far? Are you'll enjoying this hot, sunny Summer weather? Even though it's 100 degrees outside, you best bet I'm still drinking my coffee throughout the day!

Tonight I followed a recipe my daughter gave me for chicken & Dumplings! Now, every time I try to follow a recipe the results turn out horrible. Well, tonight, the end result was delicious! I am proud of myself for making such a good tasting dinner! (Go Me!!) I will keep this recipe in my kitchen and will definitely will be making it again :)

Now that dinner is done and the kitchen is clean, I'm just relaxing with...yes, you guessed it...a cup of coffee! Does anyone else get a headache if they don't drink enough coffee? I know I do. I have only had two cups today, which is very unusual for me. I started developing a headache earlier, but when I sat down and began drinking coffee, the headache slowly began to go away.

Well, I hope everyone has an amazing Saturday evening. I'm gonna sign off here and probably get on facebook!!

Oklahoma in the Big Truck!

Good Tuesday Morning!

This morning I got to wake up in my own bed! Ya see, Sunday afternoon I left out on the big truck with my hubby for a trip to Oklahoma! So, I've been riding in the passenger seat and sleeping in the bunk as he drives down the road. It's been a while since I've went on the road with him and it was good top leave town and see some new scenery! Although we went to Oklahoma, there wasn't much to see, as we were on the Interstate most of the time. However; we did stop at a few truck stops and I browsed around a bit...boy, I forgot how expensive truck stops can be!

One thing that is kinda rough for me is waking up in the morning at a delivery and there is no coffee! There are times when the customers might have coffee inside and they don't mind us getting some, but there are places that don't offer that, so I have to wait until we find a truck stop. But, all is good, just being on the truck with my hubby is fun and a great way to spend time together!

Another thing I didn't remember since I haven't taken a trip lately is the other cars on the Interstate. Wow...I guess the cars think it's OK to just pull out in front of a semi and they can stop on a dime...well, note to other vehicles on the road...they can't! I wish other drivers would pay more attention and be more careful when driving! I notice a lot of people blame accidents on the semi's, but there are a lot of times where the driver of the car is not paying attention and trying to race ahead of the semi..this causes a lot of problems and could turn out to be very dangerous just because someone wants to be ahead of the semi! Please think sensible when you are driving out there, I want everyone to reach their destination safely! 

Hope everyone has a great Tuesday!!

Coffee, TV & a Little Bit of Chores!

It's Monday! Now that the dreadful beginning of the work week is over and we survived, I feel like relaxing with a cup of coffee and finding a good TV show or movie to watch. Most of my favorite shows are not airing at the moment, so I find myself watching reruns or lifetime movies. (Can't go wrong with a lifetime movie!)

Today has been a laid back kinda day. Of course, the first thing I did was get up out of bed and start a fresh pot of coffee. Then, well as I do every morning, I log on and check my Facebook! I then went outside and dumped the water out of the two kiddie pools in my yard and prop them up to dry. My next step was let mt dogs out for a bathroom break. Well, I put them in the big outdoor kennel outside and wouldn't ya know, they found a way to get out and they were gone for several hours! I love my pets, but there are times they really get on my nerves!

Along with all that this morning, I did the dishes and put them away. Other than that, I have been relaxing today, watching shows and movies on the computer. I did a few things productive today! (Go Me!) LOL... Now I am sitting back down typing this post and fixing to browse through the lifetime movies and find me something to watch.

I hope everyone had an amazing day...

Swimming & Pool Safety Tips!

Happy Summer Coffee o'holics!

Summer time means a lot of hours spent swimming! This activity is very popular in the months of June thru August and while enjoyed by thousands, this fun pastime can be dangerous to people of all ages, especially children. Here are a few tips on swimming and pool safety that should be followed.

1. Be sure all little children use proper safety devices such as arm rings, baby float or life vests.

2. Be sure your child knows not to run and horseplay around the pool. This could cause injury.

3. Be sure all children are not left unattended when swimming. Make sure an adult is present at all times.

4. Due to danger from the sun, make sure everyone is using proper sunblock. 

5. If you are swimming in a river/lake, please do not go out too far into the water. Especially keep a close eye on children while in crowded waters.

These above tips are just a few that will help keep you safe while enjoying the fun of swimming.  We want everyone to have a great and safe summer!

Happy Swimming!!!

 

Bacon, Eggs & Coffee on a Campfire!

Good Friday Afternoon Coffee Drinker's!

Did everyone have a great 4th of July weekend? I know I did, we went camping and spent the night in nature! It was nice to spend quality time outdoors while cooking over a fire and roasting huge marshmallows. The only thing that kind of bummed me out is it started to rain for a bit, but all was good because my hubby hung a trap between trees and we were able to sit outside and watch it rain :)

One of my favorite parts of the trip is waking up to my hubby cooking bacon and eggs in a cast iron skillet over the fire, as well as making campfire coffee! We were joined on our camping trip by one of my grandbaby's and her mamma, as well as my stepdaughter. We all had a good time and I enjoyed watching my 2 year old grandbaby play with glow sticks when it was dark. For being 2 years old and the first time camping, she did a really good job and enjoyed running around outside and swimming!

I hope to do some more camping this summer, we were only able to stay for one night due to my hubby having to go back to work the next afternoon. But, I am sure we will plan to camp again when we will have the chance to stay for more than one night. Even though our trip was sort, it  was fun and we captured some good pictures and made good memories!

Hope everyone has an amazing weekend!!

Until Next Time...♥
