cafe con leche


I just have to say that I love my new-ish coffee cups. They are nice and thick and keep my coffee warm. I know that this seems a little odd to be writing, what amounts to, an ode to my coffee cup but I really think that coffee tastes better if it is in a nice mug. I know---I might be a little crazy.

    I am a major coffee addict. But yeah... I've got my favorite mugs no matter where i am. I was tempted to take my fav mug from my parents' house the last time I was there, but I realized it's my mom's fav too!

    I lived in Portland for a couple of months in 2002. I drank A LOT of coffee while there. A LOT. You folks in the pacific northwest know how to do it. (though Wellington, New Zealand has some of the best cups of coffee around!)

    I have the Target selection of coffee mugs from a few years ago. I spend too much time each morning deciding what color to use. "Do I need yellow today? Or could I use brown? Purple?" I think I might be a tad crazier...

    that mug is really cute. I don't drink much coffee, but I would totally buy one of those just to leave around the kitchen so people would think I was sleek and stylish like that mug is.

    Betz: So what else did you like or dislike about Portland. I like it and visit there a lot. (I live about an 1 1/2 from there) I think that we do make good coffee here, as well, but I would love to personally try the coffee in Wellington, New Zealand and I have a feeling it would taste better there because I would be traveling. Coffee always tastes better when you are traveling. And if it is a great mug? Double whammy!

    By the way Jodi...you aren't so crazy... I used to have blue mugs but I switched to white (from blue) because it always makes me feel organized and happy.

...when did they grow so big?

As I did my nightly rounds----tucking everyone in, making sure everyone is warm, and outside doors are locked----I couldn't believe how big my children are now. It makes me sad and happy at the same time. How is that for making any sense? This is my baby---the little one. What happened??? She is already starting to lose the chubby-cheeked baby look And seriously...I gave birth to that? He is huge. I can't believe how quickly time can pass. Where have my babies gone? Don't misunderstand me...I am looking forward to every passing minute and getting to know the new stages, but I never saw too far past the diapers and (advance apologies to any guys that read this) breastfeeding. I am in unknown territory now. ...But I had absolutely nothing to do with this one.

In addition to keeping you highly entertained with my wit--and maybe a tiny smidgen of sarcasm--I also enjoy playing around with a little HTML, and other web design related stuff. I don't claim to be any great hand at it, or to have any non-pilfered technical knowledge---I pretty much just started experimenting with my blog template one day and when it was successful...I was hooked! If you have any questions or want me to create something, you just need to ask. I really love to do it and everything is a learning experience for me. sotsublehcar (at) gmail (dot) com And now on to the show and tell (what little there is so far). Not including the many incarnations of three day blog my first foray into designing aspects of someone else's site, was for Michelle over at brown eyed girl . I designed her header for her and had a lot of fun doing and since she also loves photography, I was able to use her own pictures for nearly the whole thing. I like the fact that it makes i...

eight years

Today is our eighth wedding anniversary. In honor of that, I would like to transcribe a card written by my husband that I received on our fifth anniversary. It is the collected and random thoughts of my husband written in every available space of the card. Amor: Today is a wonderful day. I have been counting the days, but without a doubt, it does not seem to be five years. Everything is as nice as before but with a lot more satisfaction and pride in our marriage. I am happy to have you by my side all the time. To know that you are a great mother keeps me calm and that every time I make a mistake, you talk to me and teach me something new. You are my angel (I love you). I don't know what it is, but to talk about our marriage is a great thing. It makes me feel a huge happiness (never ends). Anthony adds beauty to our relationship and it is because you are his mam รก. (side note: I was pregnant with Irene at this time) I love to come back (from work) and see you after fi...
