Mocha Mud — A Drink That Is Child’s Play

July 16, 2010

We all have an “inner child” who speaks to us occasionally. My inner child, whose name is “Muse,” won’t shut up. She can be alternately willful, petulant, charming, funny, humorous, or acerbic. I can often pacify her with coffee, chocolate, or bacon … or by playing dress up and letting her be a pirate. Without [...]

I Love Fairweather

October 12, 2009

No, that wasn’t a typo. I like good weather, sure. But, I love Fairweather Lewis! She’s a blogger that my friend Jamie (another blogger I love) told me about. All month long, in honor of Halloween, Fairweather Lewis has been featuring ghost stories! Don’t you like ghost stories? Fairweather is a master storyteller, and she [...]

Jupiter House Java In Black And White

October 11, 2009

I enjoy making people jealous. Sorry. I’m wicked like that. If you saw “my” coffee house, you would turn green with envy. So, I thought I would show you my morning “routine.” Being a coffee addict, I have to go to Jupiter House, on the square here in Denton, to get my “fix.” I realize [...]

Coffee Break

July 15, 2009

I’m not really on a coffee break. I thought I’d show you this picture of Caramel Mudslide Coffee from Spoons Cafe and pretend I’m having fun. Isn’t that better than showing you the whips and chains I am using to force myself to finish a project? Wait a minute…. ….you wanted to see the whips [...]

Sometimes Life is Like a 404 Error Page

April 16, 2009

You know what a “404 error page” is don’t you? When you read those words on your computer screen, it means that the URL (link) that you just followed took you to nowhere. You didn’t get where you intended to go. You have to backtrack and head in a different direction, because you didn’t find [...]

Wear Clean Underwear

March 11, 2009

“Wear clean underwear, in case you are in an accident!” I actually heard my grandmother utter that cliché once. Y’all thought that was just a joke people used, didn’t you? I’m not sure I understand exactly why clean underwear would be important. How can I put this “delicately?” I’m telling you that if I were [...]

Only The Good Friday #5

November 14, 2008

I’ve been so busy working this week that Friday sneaked up on me! I was going to say it “snuck” up, but I don’t think that’s a word. Busy is good! It means I was working (making money) and can afford to visit my favorite coffee house this morning. As if an excellent cup of [...]

A “Lady” Does Not Swear, Unless

October 5, 2007

Y’all, I try hard to be a nice person. At least in public. Even though it’s not really a secret that I can sling profanity well enough to embarrass a sailor, I don’t go around cussing people out at the stores or when I drive down the road. I try hard to live by that [...]

I Need A Cup Of Coffee!

April 28, 2007

If y’all have read my blog before, you might have noticed my obsessive love of bacon and blogging. Probably by now you think I have a pathetically addictive personality. You’re right. But, I only get addicted to things I love. Coffee is one of them. I learned to drink coffee when I was very young [...]

Coffee Keeps Me Perking

March 1, 2007

“Coffee should be black as hell, strong as death and as sweet as love.”~ Turkish proverb I’m “jonesing” this morning. I have too much to do and too little time, so I must have caffeine to keep me going. Actually, that’s not true. I had plenty of time, but I procrastinated. There is a storytelling [...]
