Coffee Talk

The first snow of the season is happening right now. My friend A. who lives in the great Jackson TN, made me take this mug when we went to brunch together in Kansas City. It is from a great place called First Watch. I have every intention on returning it lying. The mug is heavy and little and I love it.  I have been sick for a few days and haven't gone to work and I feel the same crappiness today. I threw away a bunch of things yesterday. I love getting rid of stuff. I like to blame my dad who keeps every newspaper article with anything related to sports and to my mom who still has my Halloween costume from when I was 3. (Now...it did come in handy and Bailey wore it 2 years ago but that is besides the point). I am afraid my children will have no memories unless they are uploaded to a hard drive somewhere. I have taken in more sodium these days of being sick, thanks to the gallons of chicken broth that have been slurped, than I have had all year. I feel like I can now float in water. Time for a few fun facts before I get ready for work...as if you cared...

*I think swedish fish are disgusting!
*We are doing a felt Christmas tree this year
*I have received one Christmas card so far. There was no money, no picture, no Christmas letter. I don't understand.
*I love old pieces of luggage
*I am planning a little get-a-way for when I am official single :) I am thinking about the Northwest US.
*I own 3 pairs of black shoes. I do not own a pair of black pants.
*I notice a woman's teeth, eyebrows and nails. I notice a man's teeth, hem of their pants and socks.
*I ate a half dozen oatmeal cookies yesterday. Random things I added to them were: pomegranate infused craisens, cardamom and orange extract
*I hate horseradish

Happy 9 days till Christmas!!

Fun facts or stupid facts or just poppycock.

1. You would never catch me sitting on a rooftop like that. I am deathly afraid of heights. Wait...I am also a liar. I have kinda sat like this (but not THAT close to the edge) with a fun friend in Kansas City. I don't recommend it.

2. There is a mini crunch bar in my bed at the moment. I found it this morning. I don't know why it is there. It is under the sheets. The interesting part of all of this little crunch bar story is that I didn't move it. I left it there. What does that say about me?

3. I make a huge breakfast every morning: potatoes, onions, 3 eggs, cilantro or basil, sea salt, fresh ground pepper, jalepenos.

4. I have a brown corduroy duvet cover on my bed now. Its my "winter" duvet. I think duvets should be changed with the seasons.

5. last movie I saw in theaters was "Eat, Pray and Love". That takes away from my street cred I know.

6. I have never been to the West Coast or Europe and am dying to go to both.

7. I own 5 pair of tweezers.

8. I cannot stand the orange Dial soap. It is just stupid.

9. I think sharing a spoon with someone is so gross and unhygienic. It doesn't matter if you are kissing that person. Wait. Let me rephrase that. It has nothing to do with you. It doesn't matter if I am kissing or have had kissed that person. I will not. I repeat. WILL NOT. Share a spoon. That is just vial. Forks are welcome and so is a straw but a spoon. YUCK!

10. I am a shape snob. Circles are chubby, triangles and going in too many directions, rhomboids...whatever. Squares are where its at.

11. Places you won't ever find me: Walmart, Kohls, Abercrombie, Chick-fil-a just twice but I don't like it...so I guess I should take it off the list. Nope. Keepin it, Charlotte Roose that place is so bad it doesn't deserve the proper spelling , Subway, Vera Bradley don't get me started,  GameStop and Petco.

12. I eat ice cream every day.

13. I don't think 30 Rock is that funny.
