Good Afternoon Coffee Friends!
If you have read my previous posts, you would know I was up until 4:00 a.m. this morning! I feel I have gotten some rest, but as I was up so late, I have missed most of the day :( That's the downfall of not sleeping I guess.
There are things I need to get done, like go through my things for a yard sale we are suppose to be having this weekend. The closet the items are in is intimidating me...lol. There is so much to go through and I need the drive to do so! I hope the weather holds out for this sale. Every time I think we will have a pretty weekend, things change and it storms!
So far since I have been up I have completed a few tasks that needed done today. I have fed the dogs, started laundry and of course made a fresh pot of coffee. I don't know how I would get things accomplished without my coffee, especially with so much lack of sleep I am getting! Thank goodness for the glorious cups of Joe! It has become my best friend :) Is it possible that the amount of coffee I consume is the reason for my late nights and lack of sleep? Yeah, that very well could be the reason, but I can't give up my coffee!
Well, it's time for me to go try and get a few more things done around the house! I hope everyone has an amazing day!!
Until Next Time...♥
Well, it's 4:00 a.m. here and I'm still awake! I really wish I could get back on track with sleeping! Since I can't sleep I have been watching shows online. Right now I'm starting the 4th season of a show entitled, "Shameless." It's been pretty good so far!
I know I should be in bed, but I know as soon as I lay down and close my eyes, they will pop back open and I will be staring at the ceiling! I have thought about trying some over-the-counter sleep aids, but I don't know if they will work. But, this up all night routine is ridiculous!
Does anyone else suffer with these issues? Do you have any ideas I can try to fix this situation? All I know is when I can't sleep, it makes the next day horrible!
Well, I know it's late, so I am going to try to go to bed...I will post more in the morning!
Goodnight...ZZzzz
Until Next Time...♥
Hey There! I thought I would post a little coffee trivia for all us coffee lovers out there! Let's take a look at what we can learn about our favorite hot beverage!
- Coffee is the 1st food known to be freeze dried!
- Kopi Luwak is the most expensive coffee out there, at $600 per pound!
- David Strang is the inventor of instant coffee. It was invented in 1901.
- Coffee trees grow an average of 32ft. high!
- It takes approximately 4,000 coffee beans to roast 1 pound of coffee!
- How do you like your coffee? Around 40% drink it straight black and around 60% add a type of sweetener or creamer!
- In the 1970's coffee drinkers began drinking flavored coffee such as French Vanilla, Irish Cream and Hazelnut!
- Coffee is very popular, it is known as the 2nd most traded commodity in the world!
- Of all the states, Hawaii is the only state that commercially grows the beverage!
- Throughout history, there has been five attempts to ban this product!
These are some interesting facts! I know I would be one unhappy individual if those trying to ban coffee had succeeded! I am a coffee O' Holic and I think I would be a very unhappy person without my java!
I hope you enjoyed these facts! Have an amazing evening!

Happy Wednesday My Coffee Loving Friends!
How has the week been treating everyone? Are you counting down the days until the weekend? Things have been going well here on my end, except for the late nights due to the fact it's hard to sleep. Hopefully I can get my sleep cycle back on track soon and get back to normal hours!
The weather this Summer has been very hot! We have had occasional thunderstorms that produce quite a bit of rain, but it never seems to cool off! After the storms, at times it feels even hotter, with heat index of 109 degrees! It's temperatures in that range that keeps me indoors! When I'm outdoors in that type of heat it gives me a headache, I admit, I just can't handle it, it makes me miserable! Prayers to all those who have to work outside in those type of heat conditions. Please be sure you drink plenty of water and take a break in the shade as often as possible.
I hope everyone has a great rest of the week and relax and enjoy the coming up weekend!
Until Next Time...♥
Good Thursday Evening!
It's almost time for the weekend! I know most of you can't wait to go to bed and not have to set the alarm clock for the butt crack of dawn :) After a long week at work everyone deserves to sleep in for a few days. I would so shut my bedroom door, hang a "Do Not Disturb" sign up and crawl under the covers and ignore the outside world for a few hours!
In other news--- I just recently got a Keurig! I have to say, I'm obsessed! There are so many types of coffee you can brew, along with cappuccino's and hot chocolate, the options seem endless :) Besides, I can have a cup of coffee quickly in the morning without having to wait for the regular coffee pot to brew :) It is now my new best friend, lol.
I hope everyone has an amazing weekend. I believe it's supposed to storm here all weekend, but hopefully the weather channel is wrong and it blows over in another direction! (As I mentioned before, me and storms to not gee-haw!)
Until Next Time...♥
Happy Wednesday Evening Fellow Coffee Addicts!
Today has been a good day for me. It started out by not waking up until after 11:00 a.m. which means I finally got some sleep! (Woohoo!) If you hsve read my previous post, you would know that sleep hasn't been my friend lately :(
I also went to my daughter's today and we took a trip to Wal-Mart. While there a huge storm blew in so we took our time browsing around waiting for the bad weather to pass. I will admit I am a big baby when it comes to storms and even though we were indoors I jumped a few times at the sound of loud thunder! Luckily we were able to make it out of the store and the storm as gone and we didn't have to fight the heavy rain and wind while trying to drive.
I stayed at my daughter's house and had dinner and it was really good. Let's just say I made a happy plate, I ate everything! I will admit, my daughter is a very good cook. She likes to try out different recipes, and 99% of the time it comes out really good!
All in all, I had a real good day, now let's see how late I stay up tonight by not being able to sleep.
Until Next Time...♥
Good Tuesday Evening!
At the moment I feel about like Garfield in the picture above. I could really use a nap, but not able to do so at this time :( So, as I sit here I am drinking my coffee and doing my best to keep my eyes open (Not so sure how well that is working!) I keep having to hit the backspace button on my keyboard to fix typos.
I had a pretty busy weekend, but it was well worth it, I got to see all my grandbabies! Which means my weekend was filled with laughter, crying, arguing and toys all throughout the house, but that's alright, we had fun! Now as I sit here it's quiet and the silence and the cool air condition is making me want to hit the sheets and snore for a while!
What has everyone else been up to these past few days? Did you have a busy weekend before starting another long work week? Or did you relax and enjoy sleeping in? I love the days when I can sleep in. My sleep cycle has been out of wack lately. I am up at all hours of the night and haven't had a good nights rest in quite some time.
I hope the rest of this week finds everyone doing well!
Until Next Time...♥
