Hooked on Coffee?

Does anybody out there like coffee?  Am I the only coffee addicted person in the world?

I love to wake up and smell the wonderfully rich aroma of coffee.  

If you can't get by without that morning jolt or afternoon pick-me-up, you could have a caffeine addiction.  Do you rely on your morning coffee to get you out the door — and reach for another cup as soon as you get to work?  Or maybe you are like me and stop on the way to work for the second cup.  Yep, I drink a cup of coffee on my way to Starbucks each morning to buy a cup of coffee.
Definitely addicted.

 At work I have my Keurig turned ON with ample cups ready.

This coffee sign hangs over my coffee station.

Did you know that up to 90% of adult Americans consume coffee every day. Most commonly about two cups of each day. Many people who consume coffee on a regular basis report that they experience a variety of unpleasant symptoms when this popular stimulant is withdrawn, similar to the symptoms felt with the withdrawal of other addictive substances.

headache, fatigue, or drowsiness;

depressed, irritable mood;

difficulty concentrating;

flu-like symptoms of nausea and/or vomiting;

and muscle pain or stiffness.

As for me I looooooove my morning coffee and then my morning Starbucks.  My afternoon Starbucks that I get on my home from work is equally satisfying.  Starbucks should really be paying me for this post, LOL.

Pour yourself another cup and enjoy the moment!  Hot or Cold, it's all good!

Office Coffee Station

I spend a lot of time at work these days so my boss blessed me 

with a new Keurig for my office.

I LOVE IT!!!

I decided to see what I could find to add to my new gift to warm my office space.

So I headed out with a $20 budget.

Obviously I needed cups.  I had these at home so no cost.

Also found this leftover piece of wood from some former project, lol.

I glued a strip of burlap and lace to the board and added 3 old coat hooks I had in a junk drawer.

I love this little tin sign from Hobby Lobby for $4.

Fits my personality perfectly, LOL.

Hobby Lobby also had a clearance sale on posters so I picked up 

these 2 for $4.40 which helped create my little coffee station.

While I was going through the posters I found the one below which

now hangs in front of my desk for great inspiration. Cost $2.20

The little tags above are little pieces of wood with a daily dose of Faith to keep

in front of me when I need encouragement.  Costs $3

I needed a wall clock so I knew when it was time to go home.

Michael's had this one for $4 and the wire and wood WELCOME

was on clearance for $2.50

So my office decorations ended up costing me a grand total of $16.10

To celebrate my great deals I stopped at Starbucks with my leftover funds

and brought myself a Venti Iced Coffee with extra cream

I do love my coffee and now I even like my office.

Enjoy the moments

The October Chain "Linky" CLIMB week#3 Co-Hosts:

Anything Goes Blog Hop and Coffee 

I've been really looking around the blog world this week and just wondering 

how to help all of us reach our goal of getting traffic to our blogs.

I want people to come visit my blog as I'm sure you do also.

So today I want to pay it forward in my own small way.

Todays blog hop is Anything Goes (family friendly of course).

You can link up your main page, your photo, your cards, recipes, anything.

Also there is no limit on how many links you can add.  This is a "get traffic to 

all of our blogs link party" so add as many as you want to help other bloggers find 

you and hopefully you will make new friends and so will everyone else.

Everyone of us blogs for a reason.  

Whether is for income, fun or just sharing

our lives and our creativity.

Whatever the reason is we want others to read what we put

on our screens because it means something to us.

Personally I started blogging to fill the need to have a 

creative outlet.  I've been a workaholic for my entire life and

suddenly I'm a SAHM.  I had to have something for me.

I don't know if that sounds selfish but it's truthful.

Sew Crafty Angel is for Me to share my life with You, my friends.

I hope you will join me and link up and let's meet each other and help each other

achieve whatever our personal blogging goals.

REQUESTS

Please follow Sew Crafty Angel

Please follow anyone who follows you

Please visit each other and help your neighbor as you also help yourself.

Please pour a cup of coffee and party for awhile

Please have fun and come back next week

Coffee Date and Anything Goes Blog Hop

Hi, come on in the coffee's ready and after all,

If you came to my home for coffee today our conversation would probably go something like this.

I'm so glad you came over.  I'm really in need of some adult conversation.
If I hear the word Mom one more time I think I'm gonna run away from home.
I really love my kids but sometimes I want to talk about something
other than poopie, boogies and what's that in my food.
Suddenly I can imagine what the animals at the zoo feel like
with people on the other side of bars staring at them and waiting for them to
jump through some magic hoop or something.  When I go to pee these days
it seems like my entire family gathers outside the baby gate at the door and watch and wait.
 My little guy beats his bottle on the gate bars and cries and sometimes
for variety my daughter will stand there and cry too.  Me, I'm on the other side of the
bars thinking I just want to pee, it's not rocket science I should be able to figure
this out and make it happen without a crying audience.

I guess I'm just having one of those days but I'm truly glad you came by.

What about you, what's up in your life?
Ready for a refill on that coffee?

Angel

Coffee Date

If you could come to my home for coffee I think it'd be something like this.......


Hey girl come on in.
I'm so glad you could come by, I've been thinking about you.
I've just made a fresh pot of coffee and you know

I decided we should get together for regular coffee dates so we can catch up and share what's going on in our lives.  Grab a cup and have a seat at the table and I'll bring the pot.  I've got so much to tell you.

First off my blog will be 4 months old on May 2nd.
I'm so excited!
I decided to add some things so I can spend more time doing things I love with friends.
I've gotten together with Anna over at Cuddlebug Cuties and we will be hosting a weekly Friday Recipe Swap.  I can't wait to see what all my friends have been cooking up. And we will be featuring a wonderful recipe of our friends each week at the swap.  I'm so excited, I just can't wait.

And then on Mondays I want to spend some time with my mommie friends so I'm gonna be hosting a segment called "Mommie Mondays" so we can share anything mommie and kid related.
I love talking about Jacob and I know every other mom in the world loves to talk about their kids too.

Jacob is only 17 months old now and I can't keep up with him.  Yesterday I made a huge mistake when he wet his diaper.  I was in the middle of something but I couldn't leave him wet so I took off the diaper and left his pants on and told him Mommie would wash his bottom and get him a fresh diapie in a couple of minutes.  I was laughing and telling him he could go "Commando" for a little bit.   Well, that was not my smartest thing I did that day.  A couple of minutes of "commando" and I turn around and noticed a huge sagging spot in his pants.  "Oh NO", yep you guessed it, full of poop.  So I picked him up and headed to the bedroom, at which time he decided that crying and kicking would be fun.  As I'm trying to get the pants off, with as little mess as possible, Jacob grabs the pants legs and is pulling and slinging with all his might.  I'm laughing so hard and poop is flying everywhere.  Needless to say, lesson learned.

Oh, and then on Tuesdays I'm gonna have a "Papercrafting Tuesday" day.  We can make cards, scrapbook pages, whatever we can think of papercraft related and share with each other.

Then I'm gonna have "Thursday Coffee Dates with my Linky Party."
And of course anything goes at a party with girls chatting over coffee.

That's kinda whats going on with me.
What about you, what are you up to?
How's your coffee, ready for a refill?

I hope you will join me in all the fun.  I love spending time with you and I'm so glad you stopped by.
I am so blessed to have friends like you.

Blueberry Muffins

 

 

Blueberry Muffins

 

I absolutely love blueberries.  So we often have blueberries in some form or another. 

This morning I couldn't decide if I wanted fresh or cooked so we had both.

 

These beautiful muffins are chocked with fresh blueberries and topped with

cream cheese sauce and for then fresh blueberries on the side.

 

I feel healthier already.  This is such a well rounded breakfast, lol.

I have fruit, dairy, bread, cheese, wow how healthy am I?

 

As you all know by now you all are invited to drop in for coffee and muffins.

So come on over and enjoy these with us.

 

 

Oh, hey guys, so sorry but I have to cancel your invitation to come over

All the muffins are gone.  Sorry.
