It is a multiple cup of coffee kind of day here!

  • I am drinking cappucino

  • I'm drinking work coffee. Not too exciting.

    I can't wait for tomorrow--headed up to Traverse City for Dining in the Vines. 

  • I am seriously addicted to the Ice Coffee at McDonalds!

    Work coffee is never quite as good, is it?   I love TC!  What is Dining in the Vines? (I meant to ask you before)

  • We are headed to Hoffmaster State Park when DH gets out of work to visit my parents who are camping there.  Tomorrow we are getting together with friends.  The DHs are going fishing while A and I hang with the babies.  Then Sunday we are getting together with DHs side of the family to celebrate his brother's birthday!  Busy, but fun weekend!  What is on your agenda?

  • Maybe I'm just cranky and tired, but I'm strangely annoyed that our receptionist asked me if it was ok to leave an hour early because she has a fussy toddler at home.  Really?  You can't stay until noon like everyone else because your kid is cutting teeth?   If we were working a full day it would be different, but we're only open until noon.  Now I have to hurry up with my work so I can get phones while she's gone.

    I think it's a lil snarky for her to ask  you especially when you are pregnant. It's not like you have asked for any favors because you are pregnant. Some people!

  • For breakfast I had an English muffin and my (homemade!) blueberry jam.

    Now I'm going to fix some oatmeal with fresh blueberries.

    My afternoon snack is yogurt with fresh blueberries.

    You'd think I'd get sick of blueberries... but no, I'm not.  They're delicious.

  • I love going grocery shopping in the early morning. It still quiet and not a lot of people around. Is it wrong that i get slightly annoyed if there are more than 4 carts in an aisle. It wouldn't be so bad if they were spaced out but they always seem to huddle together blocking the path. Do people not understand the "rules" of the shopping roads.

    I know exactly what you mean!  So annoying!

    It's a paired wine dinner at Bowers Harbor vineyard.http://dininginthevines.com/home.html 

    We try to do one super nice dinner a year and missed the Fenn Valley one in the spring so we decided to do this one.

    If I were her I would be begging to stay late and then running a few errands on my way home to prolong being cranky baby free!  Noah is teething right now....holy moly is he a bear to be around.  Thankfully he is cute. Wink

    How cool!  I would love that.  I really enjoy Bowers Harbor wine and the setting is beautiful.  Have fun!

    Yum. I had strawberry freezer jam that I made on bread this morning. Will have to get into blueberries now. 

  • Yesterday was a tricky day for me.  Today I'm vowing to myself to be more positive in my head on out.  So...

    I'm loving this weather!  I spent a few hours in the garden, and it looks so much nicer now.  And, the weather is promoting great sleep for the kids.  Willa slept until 10:20 this morning!

    We found a black swallowtail caterpillar in the carrot bed over the weekend.  We brought it in with carrot greens, and watched it eat and eat and eat.  2 days ago it went into chrysalis.  We should see (and then release) a butterfly about 10 days from now.

    SWEET!!! I bet the kids are liking this. 

  • I did almost an hour on the treadmill today. Now for lunch I'm having Cottage cheese, chips & salsa and a small turkey cheese and ham wrap. Tonight one of my co-workers is bringing in some culver's as part of a going away party. Hence the almost hour on the treadmill.

    I think the batch we picked were extra delicious because of the hot, sweaty effort.  The kids have had frozen blueberries with lunch every day.  The love them.
