Coffee's On! 2007-06-05 08:08:00 I'm sitting at the island in the kitchen with my laptop and my coffee. I just glanced up out the patio door to spy a rabbit hopping across the lawn. Instead of thinking "oh, how cute... a little bunny!" I'm already to the point where I say instead, "Oh... damn rabbit. I wonder if he's the one eating all my pepper plants in the garden?" It's only the first week of June. Am I jaded already Read more:Coffee
You Know You're Addicted to Blogging When..... 2007-06-10 18:16:00 When you don't know whether something is true in real life or if you dreamed it.
I woke up this morning convinced that two of the blogs I read are related to each other. I think (thought?) they were mother and daughter. Ok, so this morning, if asked (for some insane reason, like someone would ask?) I would have said without skipping a beat... oh yeah, those two bloggers? I think they are Read more:Addicted

Credit Card Options 2007-03-16 06:49:00 My big news this week has been that I was finally training in my new replacement at the office so I could resign. The bigger news is that after two days of training she announced she would not take the job after all and quit on the spot. Did I allow this to curtail my plans for leaving this week? Bah ha ha ha. Eight weeks baby... an eight week resignation period. So here I am, becoming a Read more:Options

Online Banking Options 2007-03-14 06:47:00 Over the past couple of years I've wrote about my issues with a certain well known bank here in our city and their inability to do so much as cash a check in under 12 minutes or sometimes telling me "I'm sorry, you don't have an account here." (I HAVE SIX ACCOUNTS WITH YOUR BANK!) My regular readers will remember that a few months ago I closed out all three kids savings accounts with them. I Read more:Options

Wanted: Date for my brother 2007-03-08 22:03:00 Every morning I read the news to check on the situation in Iraq as I'm always keeping an eye out for my baby brother currently serving over there. Tonight I just finished looking over their units website, searching for any photo of him or a glimpse. He isn't one for jumping in front of the camera though so it's hard to catch him in a picture. They were supposed to return to the states in April
Customized Poker Chips 2007-03-07 11:13:00 About two years ago my son and his friends got on a huge 'poker' kick. All they did really, was mirror the same poker-craze that has been sweeping the adults in the nation as well. From online poker tournaments to the many tournaments going on in Vegas and elsewhere, you have to admit Poker
is huge!
I'm not a poker player, but a couple of my friends are. Now, if you were hosting a poker Read more:Chips
Payin' The Mortgage 2007-03-06 06:08:00 Yesterday I was surfing blogs and came across one linked to Dooce. She hardly needs a link or even any more explanation other than 'Dooce' because, well, everyone seems to know her. She's cute, perky (even though she would die to be called perky, then again... so would I), and she is a great writer... but, she got so popular because she is the one who got fired because of her blog. "Ohhhhhhh, Read more:Mortgage
For all my Single Readers Out There - Just Say Hi 2007-03-05 14:40:00 One of the blessings of marrying your high school sweetheart right out of high school is that I never had to endure the adult dating scene. Granted, the high school dating scene is probably more dramatic and hormonal but the adult scene involves bars, finding time to meet someone, and of course the feeling that you are racing with the clock because everyone around you is getting married, your
Mr. & Mrs. Smith find a therapist 2007-03-05 07:21:00 One of my current favorite movies is Mr. & Mrs. Smith
. The two characters are incredibly similar to Coffeehusband and I except, of course, for the fact that neither of us are hit men. But the personalities of the characters, their conversations and quirks are all similar to my husband and I. The beginning and the ending of the movie are set in a marriage counselors office. He is asking them
Hi-Ho Hi-Ho It's To the Beach We Go 2007-03-04 07:05:00 Yesterday as I sat at the kitchen island flipping through page after page after page of a South Carolina tourism guide; ocean and beach pictures, families frolicking on the beach, sun, sand and surf... I found myself getting a little more excited about the trip.
I have been saving my paychecks the last few weeks to pay for our trip and since I don't make much, this is a long term goal. It's Read more:Beach
Sandals and Flip Flops... 2007-03-02 14:54:00 One of my reasons for staying at my job long past my 2 week notice is that we've been trying to put every bit of my paychecks into a special 'vacation account' to take the kids to beach in April. Since I don't make very much this fund isn't all that big enough I'm now past week six of my two week resignation!
I've not thought much about our trip since making the reservations last month. Read more:Sandals

First Rule of Thumb for Online Shopping..... 2007-03-02 06:37:00 ... you never pay retail!
A few years ago the internet was just 'catching on' (yeah, remember that? When you or your friends would question if you really 'needed' to get a computer or internet and what in the world you would do with it?). At the time we lived in a suburb of Minneapolis and I had every store I needed within driving distance. Anything I needed or wanted was probably within 20- Read more:First

John's Been Shucking My Corn 2007-03-01 07:41:00 Are you ready for some deep honesty here? No, seriously, this is almost embarrassing. I was going to try out this new 'widget' for uploading songs and files and I wasn't sure what to upload for my 'trial' just to see how quick and easy it was.
Out of no where I thought about the song I used to love (love love love) when I was six years old. My little brother and I could (and would) sing
In the market for framed prints or pottery? 2007-02-28 13:55:00 Last Fall I wouldn't say I 'redecorated' (that sounds way more exciting than what I actually did) but I 'decorated' the Family Room. We removed the cellular shades and replaced them with wood blinds, took out the large armoire and replaced it with a simple small desk and brought the framedprints
from the Living Room in to the Family Room. This of course left me with blank walls in the
Live Earth Concerts 2007-02-28 06:21:00 I've been doing some reading in the last year or so on global warming. I know it's a hot topic right now and is being embraced by the Hollywood crowd as the current fad-to-be-supportive-of. Whether or not I think global warming even exists in the form that is being touted as an epidemic of sorts, boy are we gong to get some awesome concerts out of the deal!
There are going to 7 concerts on Read more:Earth

The Internet... Making Car Buying Easier Than Ever 2007-02-27 06:44:00 Our son is 14 and after he actually studies the drivers guide and takes his drivers test; in our state he can get his driver's permit. This will allow him to drive with someone over the age of 21. Once he has his permit for 6 months he can take Drivers Education through school and apply for his 'school permit' which allows him to drive to school, sports practice, games and school functions on Read more:Internet

Yes, I'm a Sap 2007-06-13 20:49:00 This evening I was not in a very good mood. No reason in particular, but after reading the USA and World news, where there was just story after story of how low we as humans are truly stooping I was just in a funk. With nothing in particular to 'do' online I surfed over to YouTube and watched the latest in Britains version of American Idol. Now, a lot of you have already seen this, watched
Here's Your Hat, What's Your Hurry? 2007-06-13 19:36:00 The kids have been out of school for about 12 days. Twelve glorious days of summer. Hope they enjoyed them. School must be right around the corner... I got my Lands End School issue today in the mail.
Nothing like celebrating 'back to school' even before we celebrate the official start of summer! Read more:Hurry
To Die on the Floor of the Hospital ER Room! 2007-06-13 08:25:00 911 no help as LA woman died on ER floor
LOS ANGELES (AP) - When no one would help a woman who lay bleeding on the floor of a troubled Los Angeles hospital's emergency room, several people called 9-1-1 to get her moved to another hospital.
But dispatchers refused to send paramedics or an ambulance, with one operator telling a caller she was being "negative."
The woman, who was only 43, died of Read more:Floor
Hey... Your Fish is Dead... No it's Not... Yeah it is... 2007-06-13 07:26:00 No... really, he's not.
"I think this week might be the week...."
"Yeah right. He was sleeping head down to the rocks, tail straight up... four years ago. "
"Good point. But still... he's gotta be getting close."
You know... the same thing we've been saying since we bought him five and a half (5 1/2) years ago from Walmart. He can swim, float and eat like a normal fish.... he just
Apparently My Phone is Uncool 2007-06-13 07:13:00 When you have kids, one of the things you don't think about when you are holding that tiny bundle of joy in your arms, is that in just a few short years (shorter than you'll ever think possible) they are going to be informing of you when your hair looks dorky, your shoes are embarrassing, you can't wear those jeans out of the house, and even when your cellphone is a hindrance to their coolness.

Well hello, come on in!

Since I was up at 5:am I went ahead and made a big pot of coffee for everyone. Come on in and have a seat.
I didn't get to bed last night until midnight - it was just a busy household with teenagers and preteens all over the place. I was awakened at 4:15 by Coffeehusband crying out in his Read more:Sleepy

They Did It Again! 2007-06-12 21:18:00 I'm already in the worlds most pissiest ? mood and I try to read the news tonight and I see they DID IT AGAIN!
Forty-1-year-old Karl Kluender was released on $10,000 bond after appearing in court last Friday in Crawford County.
Do we not have newspaper and news website editors anymore? Did they even graduate from 5th grade?

Captain Jack Sparrow and Elizabeth are at my house 2007-06-12 20:14:00 Perhaps the only bit of sunshine in my entire crappy day... the girls have planned an impromptu 'pirate party' tonight. Coffeegirl and her friend have just finished getting ready and have walked over to the neighbors home to see if she is ready and dressed in pirate garb yet. Coffeegirl is Captain
Jack, H is going to be Elizabeth

Designer Purses, Jeans, Shoes ... and Sunglasses? 2007-06-12 19:34:00 When you think of Paris Hilton, what picture comes to mind? Little pink purse and big huge round sunglasses?

They are all known by the style sunglasses they wear. And then what happens to the rest of us little peons that need to go buy our Read more:Designer

Yet Another Movie that Only Reinforces Your Belief I've Got a Warped Sense of Humor 2007-06-12 18:19:00 You guys know that I was talking about the Epic movie last week and how I love movies that are basically so incredibly stupid that they are funny. I guess you have to be in the right frame of mind, or maybe just have a warped sense of humor, but for whatever reason not only do I have this gene, but I've passed it on to my son, and somewhat to my oldest daughter.

This is not a real post.... really 2007-06-12 09:14:00 Shhh! We're hiding from the rabbits!
Ok, so the last thing I want this to be is a 'gardening' blog, but since it's just chatting over morning coffee and any topic is fair game, I'm going to do a quick update on the stupid garden.
I have now dressed the remaining pepper and tomato plants with pretty little tutu's. I doubt they'll be doing a ballet any time soon but I hope it frustrates those
