TGIF!

I ordered a stove top coffee maker and it's "Out for Delivery" right now!  I'm so excited!

Re: TGIF!

  • Yay! I so needed Friday this week. Also, I pick L up from the airport tomorrow. Wop, let me know how you like the stovetop coffee pot. I'm always interested in new ways to make coffee.
  • I just had to Google "stove top coffee maker" because I didn't know there was such a thing.  Neat!  What's the benefit over more traditional coffee makers?

    This weekend we'll be decorating the house for Christmas.  I'm looking forward to it.

    I needed Friday, too.  There is so much I need to get done! 

    I will definitely let you know.  My boss has one and raves about how good the coffee is.  I figured for $20 I would give it a try.

    Good question.  I have no idea what the benefit is.  I'll use it tomorow morning and let you know!

    Like a Bialetti?

    Our friends in Italy say it's the "only" way to make decent coffee. I hope it works well for you!

    Based on a google image search, yes it's similar (I've never used one that looks like that). Here is what I bought:

  • Mmmm, coffee.  I'm sipping some right now. :-)

     

    So, one of my BFF's turns 30 the day after Xmas.  At first she wanted to go to Vegas, then decided it was too expensive so was trying to figure out something in Michigan but was stressed out trying to figure things out.  I offered to take the reins and surprise her with a fun day and have been working with some other friends and her family to plan stuff.  The only frustrating thing in planning is that almost everything is closed the day after Xmas which is also a Sunday. :-(  I think we've got some good plans in place, but it's still hard even finding a restaurant open to go for dinner downtown!

    Day after Christmas/Sunday is not an easy combo to work with.  Hope it all goes well - that was super nice of you to take over!

    I'm making it easy for my friends/H for my 30th - leaving the country :)

    Fun!  My rug is also "Out for Delivery" right now.  I can't wait to get the livingroom put together.  :)  The couch was delivered earlier this week...it's starting to fill up!

  • I'm really itching to put up our Christmas tree, but Nick says it's too early Stick out tongue  He's such a Scrooge!

    We went tree "hunting" last Saturday.  It's the first time we've ever put up a tree and we were pretty excited.  It was fun. 

  • Do you think we can beat 73 randoms today?

    Fridays are usually our slowest day.  It's going to be tough :)

    Good luck finding some good options!  Sounds like quite the challenge, but I'm sure you'll plan an awesome day for her.

    I'm not feeling very motivated at work today, so I'll  help!  Stick out tongue

  • I am also getting my slackery on at work today, but the iPhone slows me down a bit. I will do what I can.

    Ugh.  I wish I could slack today, but I have a few deadlines to meet.  Hopefully I can get my stuff done by noon.

    Our family "rule" since we got married is to decorate no earlier than the 1st Saturday in December. I'm bringing up all the boxes and stuff today when he's at work. :D

    We have always done the 2nd weekend of December, but I feel so festive right now and want a tree to help reflect my Christmas spirit.  I already have a cute poinsettia and have been burning winter candles.  I guess I can wait one more week.

  • I'm annoyed by the fact that Aldo shoes don't come in half sizes.  I needed a comfortable pair of black pumps and found some on clearance but they're a smidge too big, but if I went a full size down, they would be too small.  I'll try some heel grippers, and hopefully that'll fix my problem.

  • Yeah for Friday!!!! Just working and lazing around tonight. Tomorrow is outlet stores - yeah!!!!!!!!!! Then Sunday cleaning and put out rest of Christmas stuff and I need to find a darn red xmas tree skirt. Errrrrrrrrr. Anyone got one? LOL

    That seems very limiting. :( Why is that, I wonder?

     

     

  • Just when I say I'll be here all day, I get busy with a project.  I'm back now though.  Smile

    I'm with Nick. I don't like to decorate for holidays. I think its because my Mom is hyper decorating and always has been. I really like to wait until the 15th and then Jan. 2 it all come down.

    We use a plain red twin-sized sheet. It drapes very nicely. :) My sister has the fitted one (we split a set on sale for cheap) and does the same.

     

  • Charity, thanks for reminding me. L thinks he wants to stop at the outlets on the way home from the airport tomorrow and I need to remember our coupons.

    That is a great idea.
