...was sitting on my windshield tonight after I finished yoga classes.  Tied to the windshield wiper was...a beautiful blue 1st Place ribbon for Boce (Special Olympics) addressed to one Blaine Schulz! Yes, my guy snuck up to my yoga class venue without being seen or heard and strategically placed his newest ribbon on my 4Runner....sharing his 1st Place win with me. Now....I had been having a bad day - prior to yoga.  But...this absolutely made the disaster of a day nothing but a memory.  I was sooooooooo proud of him...and thankful that he thought enough of me to share his ribbon with me. So..thank YOU Blaine...for being the wonderful man that you are...for doing your best in Special Olympics and being all that you can be...and for being a part of my life.   I thank God every day for the beautiful gift of You!!  Love you buddy!!

Now now...do not let the subject line taint your opinion about the blog post right off the bat.  I am serious about the health benefits of this combination of liquids. Have you ever met a cup of coffee that you haven't liked?  Ok, that statement doesn't pertain to peeps who just plain don't like coffee....you guys are just weird!  For us coffee drinkers, it's all about the texture, the color, the deep aroma and the flavor of a perfectly brewed cup of coffee.  The fact that I've sampled MANY cups in my quest to find such perfection should not  go unnoticed.   Now, add to that my love of  Bailey's Irish Cream Liquor.  What can I say.  Pure ambrosia.  When you mix the two together, to make a smooth, creamy cup of relaxing perfection...well...what more is there to be said. Oh ya.  Health Benefits, you ask?  Glad you reminded me.  Thanks! 1)  Coffee lowers blood pressure 2)  Bailey's Irish Creams cau...

So tonight I went out to dinner with my good friends Becky and Stacey.  We went to a lovely little Mexican restaurant in town that Stacey hadn't been to yet.  ( I know, she's a little behind the times!) Anywho, we drink a little, ate some chips and salso, and perused  the menu as we chattered  non-stop.  "What have you been doing?" or "What ever happened to..." and definitely,   "Have you done anything fun this summer" could be heard sprinkled about the conversation between the three of us.   That is....until the food arrived. Oh my gosh.  I had this delightful concoction that was divine!  I couldnt pronounce it when I ordered it...I had to point to the picture like a little two yr old!  The poor waiter rattled if off with no problem (like Duh! he's Mexican!) and all I could do was nod in agreement and mutter "me want".  I'm pathetic.  But I digress.  When it arrived, it was absolutely wonderful!!!...

Get out of bed. Realize today is Monday. Forget that the power was out and when you reset the clocks you set them for the actual time rather than the customary 15 minutes early. Remember that you used the last of the coffee yesterday...thus...no caffein buz to kick you in to high gear. Dash out of the house 15 minutes late.  (Refer back to previous entry) Get a mile from home and discover that the "low air in tire" sensor light is flashing. Get five miles from home with the "your tire is going flat" sensor light starts flashing. Roll in to Toyota dealership just as the "you're screwed, your tire is now flat" sensor light starts flashing. Arrive at work one hour late only to find out that the office is short staffed and you are pulling double duty.  Your work will set the whole day. Success...you've just ruined a perfectly good day!   :(
