Had I known it would be this awful I would have started taking pictures ear
2008-05-29 22:16:00 Stars and moon are out of alignment for me. The earth is off it's axis. Clouds are hanging overhead. It's just 'one of those days'. Had I known it would be this craptastic time after time after time today I would have started to document it earlier. You missed me getting splattered with latex paint all over the left half of my face, my eye and globs stuck in my hair. You missed me dropping More About: Pictures , Taking , Awful
Ashlee Simpson Pregnant? Well... DUH!
2008-05-29 14:17:00 This morning's news had the 'big' announcement that Ashlee Simpson was pregnant. Hmmm. We were just coffee talking about her wedding last week (remember?) and my husband brought home last weeks People magazine for me to read a few days ago. Well, it only took one GLANCE at the photo spread in the magazine to have a major "Yep, that's a baby bump" moment. I mean really... her sister has her More About: Pregnant

The End of the "Shotgun Wedding?" Story....... or "How the Coffeehaus Got
2008-05-28 16:19:00 ***** This is the end of the story... You can find the beginning of the story Here. ***** It was the summer before our Senior year in High School started. We had been dating about two years when talk of 'college' and what we wanted to do with our lives was coming up often in conversations. The basic plan was that I would be applying at the University about 2 hours away from us and going to More About: Story , Wedding , Shotgun
Todays Morning Coffee Talk Topic; Shotgun Wedding & How the Coffeehaus
2008-05-28 13:53:00 Coffeehusband: "I can't believe it took this long but I was finally asked something today I've never been asked before." I couldn't imagine what it might be but I was soon enlightened. "So... was it a shotgun wedding?" Apparently he was talking to a co-worker who was exasperated that he has a daughter that just turned 17. My husband nodded knowingly and the co-worker said, "You have a More About: Coffee , Wedding , Talk , Morning , Topic

Blowing Bubbles - Or At Least Attempting To
2008-05-27 15:09:00 It's a good thing I can laugh at myself. This morning, since I was up bright and early at the crack of dawn before the sun even thought about rising, I decided upload the pictures I took of the kids and my husband and The Boyfriends parents as we hung out and played horse shoes. I started to laugh when I saw that my daughter had at one point, grabbed the camera and captured me attempting to More About: Bubbles
That magical morning number; 5:00 am. The time of decisions.
2008-05-27 12:23:00 I woke at 3:30 am in a panic wondering how we were going to pay for Kats college bills when she graduates high school next year. My mind swirled with thoughts of college in general - not knowing how to maneuver through these new waters. My husband and I didn't attend traditional colleges. I have no idea where the process even starts. Is there a "sending your child to college" book for More About: Time , Morning , Decisions , The Time , Number
5 hours and counting..........
2008-05-26 19:42:00 How funny that we should wake this morning with no plans whatsoever in place. After a leisurely morning find ourselves deciding at 12:00 noon that we should hold 'something' here tonight. So The Boyfriends parents have been invited over as well as an open invitation to the kids to have one or a few of their friends to join us.

If I Were A Rich Man...( deedle deedle daedle deedle daedle dum...)
2008-05-26 16:18:00 I just showed my son and my husband a watch I stumbled upon on a website. It was a nice looking watch, but nothing that was glitzy or could jokingly be called 'bling'. As it was, it was a simple, nice looking watch that a businessman could wear. It wasn't full of diamonds, it wasn't even gold. What caught my eye was the price.

A Flashback To When He Was 5
2008-05-26 00:40:00 Too funny: My 15 year old saw there was a free "Turbo Racer" in the box of Cheerios. Was uber excited. Has played with it for over 15 minutes now. Getting a laugh at making the cat chase it. I don't think he's played with a little car in about 10 years. I love it. More About: Flashback

2008-05-26 00:15:00 I hear the garage opening. I think it's my 17 year old but it *could* be my husband if he got off early. I hear the door open. I hear a shoe being 'kicked' out of the way.

I Should Be Sleeping
2008-05-25 16:10:00 Sunday Morning. A day I would have loved to have slept in as I was up quite late last night thanks in part to the late night pot of coffee I made and then the ice cream drumstick I ate which gave me a sugar rush. I was also half heartedly waiting up for Kat to get home from babysitting and my husband from work. But anyway; the point is I was up late and would have liked to have slept in.

A Memorial Weekend Shout Out For Project Compassion
2008-05-24 15:50:00 My brother has been active in the military since he was 17 years old. Honestly, his heart has been there since he was about 6. From the age of 9 on up you would find him in camouflage every moment he wasn't in school clothes or church clothes. Christmas, Birthdays and any other gift-giving appropriate holiday would find him asking for more 'army men' in which he would built huge war scenes More About: Project , Weekend , Compassion , Memorial , Shout

I'm heavy German mixed with a little Luxembourg (although there has always been a family squabble between some that exclaim, "just say 'We're Dutch!' the others reply, "We're not Dutch, we're Luxembourg!"

Is Ashlee Simpson Pregnant? What Do You Think?
2008-05-24 03:34:00 Last week one of our Coffee Talking topics was Ashlee Simpson 's 'quickie' wedding by her oh-so-weird father. This week the photos all over the internet are of her honeymoon in the Caribbean. The big question persists; Is she or isn't she? I don't know... and part of me really doesn't care.

The Girl Child Update
2008-05-24 03:01:00 Well... in a nutshell, she is going to stay elsewhere tonight. A little bit more of that nutshell is; It's not nearly what she made it out to be. And although I don't doubt that her Dad may have hit or slapped her at one or some point, there are reasons (that I mentioned previously that I don't want to blog about on a public blog) that I had some doubts about the story or at least to it being More About: Girl , Update , Child , The Girl

I wasn't sure if I'd be picking up a girl child as well as my son but when I pulled up in front of the school she was on the bench with my son. I broached the subject of just how long she would be staying with us and her reply was that she didn't know; she was talking to her Mom. More About: Girl , Child , The Girl
