{Virtual Coffee}

Good Morning.
I am up early this morning in a quiet (for now) living room.
I just listened to one of the videos from my Creatively Made class on my headphones.
Back to school after a long weekend, which means back to lunch fixing and all other
duties today. Oh, how I love long weekends and the break from the usual weekday routine.

Anyway, it is Tuesday so grab a cup of coffee and let's get the day started.
I really wish I was sitting outside on the front porch this morning drinking my coffee
and enjoying a nice warm day but I guess that won't happen for a while, huh?
Oh well, that's okay... a nice, warm house will have to do.

If we were really meeting for coffee this morning, I would have to give you an update
on the whole driver's license debacle. Remember that?
I don't think I even went into the whole story but last week the same day I tried
to get it re-newed the first time I got pulled over that same night.
For no other reason than having an expired license.
Ughhhhhh.

Anyway, I am happy to announce that I do in fact have a valid driver's license in the state
of Illinois again.
It is quite a relief to tell ya the truth, that whole thing ended up being way more of a hassle
than I thought I expected.
Thankfully I do not look drunk in my new picture because the guy let me re-take it a couple
of times. Then I felt bad because he was scolded (yes scolded, like a child) by some old
bat for doing that for me... Whoooops. I think he was new and maybe easily sweet-talked
by me people desperate not to end up with a drunken license photo again.

More organizing in my office today.
I am going to attempt to make/rig up some little curtains for my windows in there soon.
I might try to find some cute hankies or dish towels or linen to use.


I know I said it last week but I have to say again how much I  LOVE  Jeanne Oliver and
her e-course.
I am still excited about it and it has me wanting to break out all of my artsy-crafty stuff
and just make things. All day long. Wouldn't that be great?

I scored all of these spools of thread, lots of buttons, needles, thimbles and more in a big
bag for like a dollar last week.
I also got the seam binding and patterns and tape measures at one of my favorite little shops
for like $2 total. Oh--and the bingo cards. LOVE the bingo cards.
Sometimes I find nothing at all but lately I have scored quite a few really good things.

So how was your weekend?
Did you do anything fun? I talked a little about my weekend in my last post...
it was busy and full but good.
I love that kind of weekend because it was full of things I/we wanted to do, not things
we had to do...which makes all the difference I think.

I have heard so much talk about The Hunger Games lately that I am thinking I
need to read the books now. Like right now.
I looked last week but they were checked out so I think I am gonna have to head back
to the library this week to check again.
Have you read them? What did you think?
I am loving all of the book recommendations you guys have been giving me, thanks
so much for all of them.

Well, I am done with my coffee and need to get on with the day--thanks so much for stopping by.
Real coffee might be better but Virtual Coffee is pretty cool, too.
Have a happy day and link up for coffee below so we can come hang out with you today.
