Coffee, Coffee, Coffee!!!!

Ah, a day off.

I slept in.

It was so nice.

But it wasted half my day...

I can't complain, I bought a programmable coffee maker today. You know what that means?!!! It means tomorrow morning when I have to get up way too early my coffee will be ready and waiting for me. I am so excited. I hope I set it right!

To add to my happy day, I received a free latte from Starbucks, and because they forgot to make it at first they gave me a second shot!!!! Yum!!!!!!

Do you remember when I was keeping a tally of the marriages and children in my high school graduating class? Well, I have news of two more engagements and EIGHT more kids!!!!!! What is going on here? What is in the water in MI?

Dance!

So I just bought the best of Brigitte Bardot.

She was a french star of the 1960's.

She can't really sing, but it's fun music and Brigitte seems like lots of fun. Plus, I think I recall seeing a special on her when I was in France. That, or my host mother had tried to convince me I had heard of her when in fact I hadn't so she went into deep explanation of who she was.


And that video makes me think of this video:

Gotta love Audrey!

The dove's cry...

I am really sick of men jacking off on public transportation. I really don't appreciate it, especially when they look at me while doing it. Ewww....

I also don't appreciate people asking me about my hickey-like-birthmarks. So I have birthmarks on my neck. Get over it already people!

OH, and telling a stranger that your husband is "ogling them" is not a good thing. Somethings should just be kept to one's self.

Wow, it was a crazy day in the city.

I think I will spend the night with Ben & Jerry and a good movie. I can't handle the general public anymore.

"At least someone appreciates the fact that I am doing and not thinking. "

My parents came to visit this past weekend. It was nice to see them, but makes me appreciate the fact that I live on my own. It's so weird to me to think that I am an adult, living on her own. When did that happen?

In other news, I am officially an Illinois resident. I even have a brand new license to prove it! My picture is even kind of good! Looking at it I realize that my hair is getting really long. It's kind of dark too. Hhmmnnn...

Can you believe that January is almost over? I can't! Where is 2010 going!!!!!!!!?????

Mr. Pitiful

I have discovered a new singer/song writer that I love. Matt Costa.

Have you heard of him?

Well, if you haven't consider this a formal introduction.

I was watching "The Answer Man" and noticed Costa's song "Mr. Pitiful" and now I am obsessed. His music makes me happy!

I am noticing that more and more I appreciate artist who can write and perform their own music.

Enjoy!

A Little Love

I am reading Julia Child's book "My Life in France" and I love it. It makes me miss France.

I love free days.

I love my calender for 2010. It's a picture a day calender of France. Today is a picture of the arch ways in Carcassonne!

I love that there is a board game based on this silly little walled city!

I love coffee. I've had several cups today!

I love that it is 32F today and I can walk outside without several layers!

I Love NPR!

I love my 180's!

One More Slice?

I had visitors this weekend.

One of them all the way from Sweden!!!

I felt sooooo special!

We had a great time together!

We ate too much. Drank too much and had too much fun.

We must do it again soon.
