This post makes me sad....beer = yum and coffee = yummy. However until last year I could only drink mochas (lots of chocolate & milk) but that was too many calories and sugar so I went straight to coffee. I used a smidge of milk in the transition but now black and dark is best. It is strange what I make myself like, I forced myself in college to drink beer because it was cheap and now I love it especially dark beer and I basically made myself like coffee. Yet, I can't force myself to love veggies like broccoli or cauliflower. Everyone has different tastes I guess.

I cannot stand the smell of coffee or beer. If I don't like how something smells, I won't drink it/eat it. If I'm in a pinch, coffee will get rid of a migraine, but I really hate the taste.

I would rather not drink than drink beer. I like mault liquors like Mike's hard ciders and wine coolers, so those are cheaper, plus my mom keeps wine around the house. But no beer. And yes, I've tried ones that have no smell. Still hate the taste.

If you still want a mocha, go for it with coconut milk. Coconut milk has far fewer calories than whole milk and it tastes great.

I had a small mocha about a week ago and it tasted so sweet but a nice indulgence, I really couldn't have had larger than a small. I will have to check and see of the coffee shop has coconut milk next time.

We have had a strange weather week, it has ranged from mid 40's to 50 and then to mid 70's. Now we are back to low 50's. Natural AC for us!

I can tell it's cooling down as I keep finding the cat under the covers of my bed on a daily basis. And she's always toasty warm.

My pup has been more cuddly lately too. I guess that is the good part about it getting colder the dog gives even more snuggles.

Yup. Belle and I took a nap together earlier. She's basically been with me all day. Thinking she's missed me.

On the way home from shopping today I stopped to pick up some Chinese food for supper. It surprised hubby, he was convinced I would come home with Italian as that is my favorite type of food. Anyway I opened my fortune cookie, just for the fortune as I don't like the taste of the actual cookie and I really think this fortune was spot on.....



We will be on the Dream in November!

Also this was lunch today. Bacon cheeseburger from Five Guys.

Kapono wouldn't leave me alone when I got back today. She howled when I left, I think she remembered it was doughnut Saturday. She got super excited when I was putting on my shoes to leave and she ran for her leash. It was the same pair of shoes i wore to work yesterday and she could have cared less but today. I really think she can keep track of the days of the week.

I kind of did the same thing on my 2008 family trip to WDW. I gave everyone a two year notice though and paid for their airfare, park tickets, transportation, housing for the entire family. All they had to do was set up for the time off. I guess, now that I think about it, I didn't think about it much when it came to if they were going to go, just when would be a good time. My bad!

2 year notice is reasonable, we just have 2 weeks here lol.

A Denver Halloween.

Well, honestly its not that bad. she has a good excuse. We havent gone together in like.. a decade and half.
Last trip all together was also to Cancun I think, all the way to the early 2000's.

My brother just simply doesnt like to go together.
And usually my mother either goes with me to trips, or with my sister (my sister's husband flat out refuses to go overseas. Even when he's technically both US and Mexican citizen. Everyone else got US visas and passports ready)
So we have never been all 4 together in a long time.

Yep. All together works for some extended family vacations, not so much for others.

I love that stuff. I discovered it at a craft show out in Lancaster Pa many years ago. My local Target carries it but the best prices seems to be at little family stores out by Lancaster. Actually the small stoes out there seems to have bargains on almost everything and I can find Unker's out there. Unker's is a cross between Vic's rub and icy hot, good for almost everything that ails you

A staple with my family.

I made it through last night, it was rough but we held each other together. At least i got to the sewing machine store on the way and ordered the part for the serger. I also got everything for the sewing goody basket my ds puts together for Christmas every year. I'm going to stop at the farm market before heading to her mass this morning. Coolers are in the car so everything stays at the right temperature during the day.

Oy. {{{HUGS}}}

This reminds me of a guy I knew years ago. He was a photographer, and he did a lot of food advertising photos for magazines, and box photos for pots and pans, etc. (What you immediately see on a box in a store has incredible power--you'll either stop and look, or move on--thousands of dollars in potential sales revenue, hanging on the "right" photo.) He had some big-name clients. I recall one shoot he was doing with a designer, and it was for a wok with fresh veggies on the side (to add interest) in the photo. To get that "perfect" shot, he took hundreds of pictures, and they were there for close to 12 hours! I had no idea the amount of work that goes into a professional photo shoot like that.

They say the same thing about a book cover.

If you buy a pumpkin, you can make me a pie.

I know isn't that great BTW I did and I am. Almost all winter squashes make good pies.
