{Virtual Coffee}

Wednesday, May 19, 2010

So here we are, one day late, for virtual coffee this week. I am not actually having coffee since I have been stuck in bed and have not been to the store for about a week now.
Picture this: This morning I am having a cup of Himalayan Apple Spice Yogi tea in my super cute Orla Kiely mug and my little fortune on my tea bag says; "Practice kindness, mercy and forgiveness."
I don't have the energy to take a picture and upload it now but I can't stand to post without a picture so I'll find one in my archives...totally cheating, I know. Sometimes when I make my fancy coffee drink with whipped cram and cinnamon I will make the kids a "kiddie-cino" (like a cappucino) which is really just chocolate milk with whipped cream and sprinkles on top. Then we sit and drink them together, they love it.
 So, if we were meeting for coffee this morning I would tell you......

that sitting in bed for days truly sucks. It was nice and peaceful for like the first 1/2 day.

this weekend we have two birthday parties and two graduation parties to go to. I also need to do a cake for my niece's 10th birthday on Friday and need to be figuring out how I am going to decorate it.

I am feeling really guilty about how much Tv my kids have watched the last few days and how little they have been outside. It has been rainy but today it's nice and sunny. It's tough when you are supposed to be in bed and the kids have to entertain themselves....yesterday it looked  like a tornado actually came through our house. Oh well.

I have a confession and don't judge me for it: I can't look away from the show "Tough Love: Couples" on VH1. It's terribly trashy and the people are just so wrong...don't hate me.

Last week I went to an antique store I had not been to for quite a while and found some great things including a green child-size vintage suitcase. It is perfect!  Now I'm looking for a matching blue one. I want the kids to actually be able to use them but I also came up with an idea for a little photo shoot I want to do using the suitcase. I can't wait.
That's all I've got for ya today...kinda boring. So....what would you tell me over coffee this morning?
