Liquid Cardboard

I've never liked coffee. I still don't. It's odd because I love the scent. Waking up in the morning to the smell of coffee is heaven to me. I love to go into the stores that sell coffee, too. I just stop and take a big whiff and I'm sure people look at me funny when they see me sniffing like a dog.

The scent is so wonderful to me that it makes me wish I liked the taste of it. Apparently, it is an acquired taste because for me, it's like liquid cardboard.

No offense to you coffee drinkers out there. I may have to make sure my doors are locked tonight.

Lately, I've been contemplating becoming a coffee drinker. Many people highly recommend this caffeinated beverage. Keeps them going, they say.

I've come to the point where I feel tired all the time. It stands to reason considering I have a six-month old and various ages of boys running through my house. I have been getting better sleep, but it just doesn't seem to be working for me.

I don't like the idea of becoming dependant on caffeine. It just rubs me the wrong way. I don't like becoming dependant on anything. I guess when it comes down to it I'm just a control freak.

When I stare at the computer screen with a half-dead look, or can barely lift my arms to do the laundry, that's when I wonder if maybe coffee wouldn't be so bad.

When I have to prop my head up during dinner time, coffee doesn't look bad at all.

Who knows? Maybe I'll become a coffee drinker after all....or not.

Stop being such a wuss, big sis. I started out w/ the flavored creamers, like hazlenut, irish creme, etc., until I got sick off it one day. Then I switched to cream & sugar, then just cream, then straight black.

you know, if you do not drink it daily you probably won't get hooked... (was that good peer pressure?) hee, hee.

Dignified Woman

They instructed me to make sure I have a full bladder on arriving for my ultrasound. Ha. I almost laughed in their faces. Pregnant me plus a full bladder equals a disaster. On my son's birthday back in March, I had to drive all the kids home afterward. I had drunk a lot of water and couldn't believe I had forgotten what happens to me when I drink too much water with no bathroom nearby when I'm pregnant. I counted the minutes till I got home all the while breaking the law and speeding trying to keep in mind not to drive too recklessly screaming at the poky people in front of me. It brought to mind the very first time I experienced a full bladder as a pregnant woman. It was my first baby and my husband was in the Air Force. So, when we had an ultrasound we went to the Academy in Colorado Springs. They told me to drink an astronomical amount of water before I came. I did so and then we started out for the half hour drive to the hospital. By the time we were on the ...

The Top 20 Clean Romance Movies Of All Time

I'm really picky when it comes to romantic movies. I prefer them clean and it's really hard to find those kind of romance movies these days. Nowadays, romantic movies are chock full of butts, boobs, and beds. Just sayin'. I was bored one day and decided to google the top romance movies of all time. You have got to be kidding me. One list had Brokeback Mountain on it. Pulease. I was, in fact, so disgusted by all of the lists that I came across that I decided to make my own. I decided to call it The Top 16 Clean Romance Movies of All Time, well, because I couldn't think of anymore to make it an even top 20. Now, my list might be different from most people. I said I was picky. First, I don't like b***** women. That scratches out a whole pile of popular movies. One of them being Gone With The Wind. Does anyone besides me want to smack that woman? Second, I don't like it when the couple end up in bed together. Uh, I don't really need to know, thankyouverymuch. Th...

Candy Stash

As I bite into a luscious Reese's peanut butter cup, I have one thought in my mind. Thank you, Lord, that none of my children have food allergies. Otherwise, I would not be able to steal some of the candy bars from their Halloween candy stash. I would normally consider myself a meat and potatoes kind of gal. I would rather eat roast and mashed potatoes than candy any day. There comes a time, though, in every woman's life when eating chocolate becomes a must. Yesterday, I grabbed the pumpkin full of candy, locked the bathroom door, filled the tub with hot water, and luxuriated in a chocolate fest. It had to be done. May I say that Snickers is the best candy bar ever? Of course, Reese's comes in a very close second. Peanut butter and chocolate were made for each other. I was a bit disappointed to see no Butterfinger bars at all. What's up with that? Aidan probably noticed the less than full pumpkin because he brought me an empty one and told me that we need ...
