{Virtual Coffee}

good morning.
how is everyone this morning?
it's another rainy, kinda dreary day here but i think i'm okay with it.
anyway--it's a great morning for coffee with friends so let's get at it.

if we were really meeting for coffee this morning i would be drinking my homemade mocha but
a starbucks peppermint mocha sounds really good right now. maybe tomorrow.
the red cups are back y'all.
it's such a great marketing tool, the whole red cup around the holidays thing along with the
special holiday drinks, huh?

i need to brag on my boy now.
after last week and feeling like the biggest loser mom this really made me smile--
and i was there to see it, so that was definitely a bonus.
friday was the humanities fair at school and wyatt won first place in the illustrated poem category.
he was excited, it was cute.
my niece won first place in her category too so they were both pretty excited.
it was a good night.

if we were really meeting for coffee this morning i would ask how your weekend was.
what did you?
we did get a date night saturday night, thank you grandparents.
it had been a while so it was nice and very much appreciated.
mexican and margaritas...ummmmm...yeah, that's pretty much what we do every single time.
it's funny that when we do  have a chance to actually go do something alone we have a hard time figuring out what to do....then we realize we really just wanna go back home and watch tv
in our pjs on the couch.

this is the view out of charlotte's bedroom window just a few days ago, so pretty.
now the tree (top picture) is almost completely bare.
ughhhh...i kind of really hate when the trees are bare.
i'm really going to miss all of the leaves when they are gone.
my outdoor pictures definitely get a whole lot less pretty this time of year.
how is the weather where you are?
fall like? snow already? i have to say, i have been seeing snow on some blogs i read and i
am just so not ready for it...not at all. in complete denial over here, folks.

saturday charlotte and i did a little antiquing at a couple of our favorite little shops.
they were having a holiday open house and we found a few good deals, i will have to share
those later in the week. one was an awesome light up globe i got my sister for her birthday,
i was pretty excited about that.

well, i have a hefty list of things that  really need to be done around here today...really.
i need to get up and start now.
now.
think i can put it off just a little longer?
