Greetings from Me and My House,

Just as I said about chocolate - it goes better with caramel/peanut butter/toffee - the same goes for coffee.  It's best when a lot of milk and syrup (preferably candy bar flavors) has a hint of coffee flavor.    I love the smell and the taste is ok when it is covered heavily, but unlike my "friends and family" I'm not a coffee drinker.  Besides the stuff will kill you.  So on the rare occasion - like when a friend is moving, or a daughter comes to visit, or we go out of town, or I just get a hankerin' - really, this is pretty rare, maybe a dozen or so times a year - I will indulge in a cappacino. 

I blamed my last coffee binge on my friend, but the latest was just a hankerin'.  Kids with colds, and baby cutting teeth have made for sleepless nights lately.  And rather than grabbing a cool, refreshing pick-me-up of BarleyLife, I WANTED coffee.  (That was the first problem.)

DH was heading out to the auto parts store and asked if I needed anything.  I said a large latte.  He said he doesn't drive through coffee shops.  So that was the end of the conversation, before I could tell him what KIND of coffee I had a hankerin' for. 

But....  He asked our daughter what I usually get, so he could surprise me.  She told him the only thing she had ever heard me mention that I had got ONE time, and he came home with it.  Well....  It wasn't what I had a hankerin' for, and was quite COFFEE STRONG.  But I made it through - and it was quite sweet of him.

Last night was no different than the preceding ones, except ON TOP OF  having a restless baby keeping me up (and the coffee keeping my nursling from sleeping well??) the foreign substance was doing its work on me too.  I saw 5 am roll around before my eyelids closed - only to be awakened by baby bear 2 more times before crawling out of bed at 8:30.

So... still, yet another lame blog this week.  But I got lots of Bookmarks (of infrequently read blogs) made last night - and saw how badly my email folders need a good housecleaning.

Perhaps I'll go make that BarleyLife and purge the nasty stuff from my system, and get a GOOD boost for the day.  God, You know I need it.  Then maybe I can get back to writing more substantial posts.

I'd try to make a good Biblical principles/theological application to this story - but I'm coming down fast and hard.  That's right - cappacino is a double whammy, coffee AND sugar!  Off to make that yummy, green, grass-tasting BarleyLife.  And... Don't even ask about all the links today - who knows?

At Jesus' feet,
