Break-fast

-
I had breakfast with the Earl today. He and I got along fabulously, sharing some pancakes and quiet. Although it was a fast break before I had to take the Boy to meet the bus, I still enjoyed my Earl Grey tea.
Coffee is for the  ... crazy people. The crazy people happen to be my friends, so I am thankful there is coffee (for them). But I won't touch it. Ugh, gag, blech. Give me some nice hot tea instead!
Awhile ago, my husband was sent on a business trip to Austria (oh I should've gone! One of my biggest regrets!) and he was so sweet to pick up some English tea for me while in London on a layover. I am just now getting to the end of my favorite Whittards of England tea.
I told him it's time to go back to Europe.
He suggested I order it online. Harrumph.
My sister in-law gave me some of the Irish Gold tea she got from her trip to the Green Isle. It is so good. It, too, is coming to the end. I don't think I could convince them to go back for more either.
how about you? Coffee? Tea? Pepsi? for breakfast

    I'm actually drinking a cup of tea as I read this! I get too jittery with coffee

    The Best we way to fulfill that desire for really good English tea is to visit Victoria, B.C. and buy some at Murchies. Their Empress Afternoon Blend is what got us hooked on tea when we visited long ago and nothing else has come close to its taste.
    If interested in traveling across the border, let us know and we'll join you, eh.

    I think you should go and buy your tea. Wherever it is. And if you need companionship while you travel, let me know. I like Earl Gray too, I'd go with you to pick some up. I'm more of an iced tea drinker, and I'm trying to kick the diet coke habit so I'm drinking a lot more of the tea. May switch over to the hot stuff before long, we have a freeze warning in Kansas on Thursday.

Success!

I made soup from scratch last night. And I followed the recipe (almost) to a "T". I've just figured it out - I cannot follow any recipe exactly . But the only thing I did differently is to leave a spice out, which didn't affect the taste. My husband really likes split pea soup. I have been buying it occasionally in the can for him; but then I came across a easy-looking recipe, bought the dry peas, and waited until I had a ham bone leftover. I have never eaten this kind of soup, it was a first for me and my kids last night. And I loved it! Along with a loaf of yummy homemade oatmeal bread, I was quite satiated by supper. I'll post the recipe over on my recipe pages. And to round out the night, what could be better than watching the kids play Twister? Well, maybe giving them rides on Twister...

Life is full of Surprises

So here's one picture from my birthday that I *forgot* to put on that post last month. Surprise! I have had mixed feelings about this for some time. But after my first doctor's appointment this week, I am much more positive about this big change in our lives. We finally told our other 4 what was going on. Now they understand, maybe, a little bit more why Mom is always on the couch sleeping. And they are super excited. I don't think they remember what is was like 4 years ago when the youngest was born and made SO much noise... Of course, she still makes a lot of noise, just a different kind.

People Watching

I love people watching. It can be so fun. So enlightening. So ... interesting. Do you ever make up stories about people you see? Or is this just a quirk of mine? My brain has to have something to think about while I drive! So each day I go to pick up The Boy from school, I pass all kinds of people. Today I saw the Postman who looks kind of like Hulk Hogan. Long blonde hair, mustache, buff arms. I think he is actually H.H. living here in our town, posing as a mailman to get away from the paparazzi. And then there's The Runner. This guy is either punching the air while he runs - shirtless most of the time- or rockin on his iTunes. Either way he usually looks like he's high on something. I wonder what he is training for. Today I saw a new intriguing sight. I passed by a man, running down the street with a Macy's bag in his arm. He was dressed in a white t-shirt, and tan Carhartt's; looked like he just gotten off work; he was running towards the work-truck, the kind with...
