When I visited Mom, we had to go on an early morning errand. As I majorly overslept, I didn’t have time to make coffee. And it’s no secret that I don’t function well without my java fix! Mom needed to visit the ATM before we left and there was a Starbucks next door. She offered [...]
It’s Saturday, it’s raining, and I have no desire to do anything. Nada. Bupkes. NOTHING. It’s been a crazy busy work week, and next week promises more of the same. It’s a good gig and I am enjoying it, but I’m working so hard that even my brain is tired.
But if I want clean clothes, [...]
Forget Ambien, Tylenol PM or any other type of sleeping pill. First, eat three Beignets at Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans. Beignets must be deep fried and dusted with at least 8 ounces of powdered sugar. Wash them down with a very strong Cafe au Lait. Next, walk around the French Quarter for 45 [...]
I went to a different coffee place today, (one that I’ve been walking past for weeks.) It was a tiny french cafe that was redolent with the smells of fresh bread baking. Among their baked goods were: buttery croissants, tangy wheat rolls, warm and sticky cinnamon rolls, and pumpkin muffins. It was a weight watcher’s nightmare, (and so hard to choose!) [...]
Se7en and I have been talking a lot about working out of town. As a matter of fact, he just blogged about one of his experiences working offshore. Good times! As for me, I have been traveling nonstop for weeks which is a mixed blessing. It always sounds so glamorous, “I’m going on location for [...]
OMG, it’s Friday and it’s gonna snow all weekend! The weather people are threatening a “Nor’easter” and the temperature will probably not break 25 degrees, and it’s going to be really, really cold, and I need a pedicure, and Ally da Pup finally got a haircut and will have to wear her sweater outside all [...]
I got nuthin. Brain is fried. So I’m thinking about all kinds of small comforts – things that me feel comfy and cozy.
I love a freshly made bed, with the pillows all fluffed and inviting.
I MUST start my day with coffee. I knew my sweetie was a kindred spirit when I realized he needed [...]
I am one of THOSE people, yes folks I am a morning person. I get my best energy first thing in the day… AFTER my first cup of coffee that is. Before that oh so necessary java jolt I do not want to talk to anyone except Ally da Pup. And I’m not all that [...]
I must live near the only Starbucks in the Western Hemisphere that keeps bankers hours. They open at 8:00 a.m. and close at 8:00 p.m.. What’s with THAT? Every other Starbucks in the immediate world, (and even on the next block – yes there are Starbucks on every street corner in Manhattan,) have MUCH [...]
