    I am in the process of baking all my goodies for the birthday party on Saturday. Of course it is super hot out today which makes baking so much fun ::sarcasm font::
  • My day tomorrow involves waking up at 3:30 AM, getting the airport by 5, flying until 8:30, then driving 11 hours with two young children.  The part that I'm most concerned about?  Navigating the airports.  I'm not afraid of flying but just thinking about an airport makes me break out in a cold sweat.

  • I'm forcing myself to work hard today.  Tomorrow, I'm taking a half-day and starting my 10 day vacation.  It feels like the day before summer back in school!

  • I'm OK right now. I had a feeling it was coming today oddly enough. I was starting to really resent my long commute so hopefully this is only good things. I applied somewhere last week and they called me on Monday to discuss the job so we'll see where it goes.

  • Ever since I found a cold-brew method for making coffee I've become addicted to making iced coffee at home. So good.

    I made cold brew a few weeks ago and the method I used wasn't that awesome.  And the taste difference was minute.  What's your method?

  • I found a donut shop here that has cronuts, but they only have them some days. I kinda feel that I need to go every day to get a donut until cronut day.

    What is a cronut? Croissant-Donut hybrid? Sounds delicious, if so.

  • @northernLgts I'm so sorry!  Sending job dust your way.

    H fell off the roof today and got banged up.  He says that if the gash in his leg doesn't stop bleeding by dinner he'll go get checked out.  He's an idiot.

    I have been puked on more times today than one handful of fingers. Positive side was that my son puking in drive thru was definitely birth control for the teenager taking my order.

    The cronuts look amazing!!!

    So sorry @NorthernLghts‌ hugs for you!!!

    I saw a white Tesla on the road today while stopped at a light.  I completely rubbernecked so I could watch it drive by.  Awesome!

    @NorthernLghts I'm so sorry.  Hopefully something even better is right around the corner for you.

    My husband is obsessed with Tesla's and we FINALLY saw our first ones a few weeks when we were in Chicago visiting his grandmother. The first time we totally pulled alongside and drove next to it for a min or so on the highway so we could look :p

    @SnShne322 It's by the Pioneer Wife? I think. Off to Pinterest.

    ETA: Pioneer Woman.
    It doesn't have a huge taste difference but it does seem less bitter. I also bought stronger coffee to use when I make it.

    I see a Tesla every day.....Our neighbor owns a black one.  Looks like a car to me, but my husband is obsessed with it.

    My dad bought my mom a Tesla that arrives next month.   He says it's a gift for her, but I'm pretty sure he will be the one driving it.
