Saturday Surfing

 
I hope your week has been awesome!
We have been having temperatures in the 100s and more scheduled for next week.  I think it was 103 today.

Summer is here. I keep thinking that I am going to free up some time to sit and enjoy life but the more I work to free up the time the more I have to do…if you are feeling the same way just take the time off and sip some iced tea on your porch.  […]

Love Coffee Pods? Make Your Own!

 
It seems that everyone is into coffee pods now. They are a simple way to get your caffeine fix quick. Just put the pod into the Senseo or whatever you have, press a button, and in seconds you have a cup of coffee.

Illyquore, Killing Two Birds with One Stone

Hey, do you remember back in the day when your friends got blitzed and you spent hours pouring black coffee down them in the hopes that they would sober up enough that you could take them home without their parents noticing that:

Blog -Surfing Saturday

First of all, the horses are gone and I sent a baby goat and a quart of goat milk along with them. Why I feel the need to give people things I will never know.
I want to give special kudos to Cathy of Noble Pig. Why? Ah, well you may ask. […]
