The Perfect Cup of Coffee

Is there really such a thing as the perfect cup of coffee?? I decided to test that theory, and here is how I went about it:

Step 1: Theory - There is such a thing as the Perfect Cup of Coffee

Step 2: Research - Search various online articles about how to make the best cup of coffee ever....ask around and identify why people actually like coffee anyway.

Step: 3: Testing - Get lots and lots of coffee and drink it! (my favorite part!)

Step: 4 - Develop a conclusion based on the results of the research and testing.


Anyway, so after extensive testing (or about 5 minutes of research mixed with years of coffee drinking....) the conclusion states that I was....(Man is this hard to say!) WRONG! There is no such thing as the Perfect Cup of Coffee....It all boils down to three main qualifiers:

1. How many cups have you had today?
2. Did you have an appropriate amount of sugar and creamer to add to your coffee?
3. Do you actually like coffee?

I will post my results on how to make an ALMOST perfect cup of coffee at a later date...right now I'm going to head for bed....I got work in the morning!


Oh and I got the picture here

Lemons in Real Life

Ya know that saying about life handing out lemons and making lemonade?
Well what happens when you don't know how to do that?

How many of us our there have never learned how to pick just the right lemons?  Or even how to squeeze them so as to get the juice out properly?

What if life hands you an orange instead of a lemon?  What if you hate orange juice?!?

Real life doesn't allow one to make lemonade; in real life you take that lemon and cut it up and put it in a glass of water and hope that you aren't allergic to citrus.

at least that is my conclusion....for now.

Oh look! A kitty!!!

This is my cat Lilah.  The picture was taken a year ago at Christmas by my husband, JT, when she was just a kitten.  He's very good at taking pictures, and wants a new good camera instead of my little point and shoot.

Marvelous Light

I once was fatherless
A stranger with no hope
Your kindness wakened me
Wakened me, from my sleep now

Your love it beckons deeply
A call to come and die
By grace now I will come
And take this life, take your life


Sin has lost its power
Death has lost its sting
From the grave you've risen victoriously

Into marvelous light I'm running
Out of darkness, out of shame
By the cross You are the truth
You are the life. You are the way.

My dead heart now is beating
My deepest stain's now clean
Your breath fills up my lungs
Now I'm free, now I'm free yeah

Lift my hands and spin around
See the light that I have found
Oh the marvelous light
Marvelous light
Lift my hands and spin around
See the light within

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have trouble.  But take heart; I have overcome the world.

Yaaawwn...

I'm tired.

Very tired.

But I can't go to sleep yet.

Because my school has to be stupid and go on into next week even though everyone else's school is done this week.

Meaning I'm staying up late to write a paper.

On water pollution.


Who really cares enough about water pollution to write a paper on it??  Really.


GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Queen of Procrastination

So....I'm not doing my homework...

It isn't that I don't want to write a discussion post answering 5 questions about global warming...I just haven't done it yet. Unfortunately this is one of the only times I have to actually complete it before it is due Saturday and so far I have spent 3 hours not doing it. Yea....

So what should I eat for lunch? Should I watch a movie or read my book while I cook/eat it? Crap.
I am not doing well with this whole "don't procrastinate" thing. Can you believe I am supposed to be "Jingle bell Jingle bell rock....now the jingle hop has begun!" oops.....It came on the radio! What can I say? it is catchy!
Anyway, can you believe I'm supposed to be getting my homework done AND decorating for Christmas today? I was going to surprise the hubby....but it just isn't happening yet. Maybe I need to go to the other room and try a change of scenery. and eat some lunch...tomato soup and grilled cheese maybe?? We'll see...

For now I'll just be the queen of procrastination and all hard working peoples will bow before my awesome procrastination skillz. yea....
