Look What I Stumbled Upon....

Ok. So this could be classified as borderline obsessive; but look at what I stumbled upon in my attempt to pretend that I am working!

The "I heart Jim" T-shirt with Jim's face strategically placed inside the heart!



and

The "I heart Jim" magnet!



I was originally searching for the "I heart Jim" post-it notes. I swear they exist because Lincee at I Hate Green Beans has them. Take a look at her desk and you will see them! She supposedly found them at Target but I have yet to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Dang it!!!!

Leatherheads



Move over George, but John is in the film house. There is no need to fight over me. That is so sweet.


I heart John Krasinski aka Jim Halpert from "The Office."
He makes my goofy heart swoon. Add a football outfit and a screen shot of George every once and a while and you will have one happy gal.

So, obviously, this week's film is Leatherheads. I don't care what you say, but I just have a sneaky feeling this film will probably be fun, funny, cute and wonderful...all because of the fabulous Krasinski. I am absolutely counting on there being plenty of butt shots and butt slaps. I know you won't disappoint me, John.




So, here is the Yahoo! Movies synopsis:

In 1925, Dodge Connolly is a charming, brash football hero who is determined to guide his team from bar brawls to packed stadiums. But after the players lose their sponsor and the entire league faces certain collapse, Dodge convinces a college football star to join his ragtag ranks. The captain hopes his latest move will help the struggling sport finally capture the country's attention. Welcome to the team Carter Rutherford, America's favorite son. A golden-boy war hero who single-handedly forced multiple German soldiers to surrender in WWI, Carter has dashing good looks and unparalleled speed on the field. This new champ is almost too good to be true, and Lexie Littleton aims to prove that's the case. A cub journalist playing in the big leagues, Lexie is a spitfire newswoman who suspects there are holes in Carter's war story. But while she digs, the two teammates start to become serious off-field rivals for her fickle affections. As the new game of pro-football becomes less like the freewheeling sport he knew and loved, Dodge must both fight to keep his guys together and to get the girl of his dreams. Finding that love and football have a surprisingly similar playbook, however, he has one maneuver he will save just for the fourth quarter.

And of course the move trailer:




And a small tribute to John Krasinski:

Isn't he adorable?



Hmmm. You are so yummy my little comedian.


How do you manage to be so silly and adorable all at once? It must be difficult to be so wonderful all the time.



....The final close-up. Need I say more?

Arthritis Walk

This will be our second year participating in the Arthritis Walk.

I do this all for my childhood friend Jenny. Jenny is a wonderful mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend. Jenny and I have been pals since the 9th grade and we have been through all the crazy and wonderful events life has to offer together. Jenny was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis when she was 19 years young. Since her diagnosis, I was grateful to be her maid of honor in her wedding, I was blessed to sit in the waiting room while she gave birth to the super Jacob, and she has graduated from college. She is a true testament of how a disease cannot bring someone completely down. She is a true fighter.

This is me and the Super Jacob shortly after his emergence into this world.


This is Ruby at the Arthritis Walk last year.

What Color Green Are You?

I stole this little "Green" quiz from C. I thought it was fun. Thanks C.

You Are Teal Green

You are a one of a kind, original person. There's no one even close to being like you. Expressive and creative, you have a knack for making the impossible possible. While you are a bit offbeat, you don't scare people away with your quirks. Your warm personality nicely counteracts and strange habits you may have.

21



Who loves Kevin Spacey???



I do, I do! So of course today's feature film has to include a Kevin Spacey film. And I have always thought Kate Bosworth was worth mentioning.



I don't care what any of you say, but Blue Crush is still one of my favorite movies to watch on a Sunday afternoon. But, back to 21, it is supposedly a true story and I love watching films that glorify actual events.

Movie synopsis from Yahoo! Movies:

The true story of the very brightest young minds in the country - and how they took Vegas for millions. Ben Campbell is a shy, brilliant M.I.T. student who -- needing to pay school tuition -- finds the answers in the cards. He is recruited to join a group of the school's most gifted students that heads to Vegas every weekend armed with fake identities and the know-how to turn the odds at blackjack in their favor. With unorthodox math professor and stats genius Micky Rosa leading the way, they've cracked the code. By counting cards and employing an intricate system of signals, the team can beat the casinos big time. Seduced by the money, the Vegas lifestyle, and by his smart and sexy teammate, Jill Taylor, Ben begins to push the limits. Though counting cards isn't illegal, the stakes are high, and the challenge becomes not only keeping the numbers straight, but staying one step ahead of the casinos' menacing enforcer: Cole Williams.


And of course the movie trailer:

Jewelry, Scrapbooking, and Lovely Company

I know, I know. Everyone wants to know how wonderful of a time I had in Paris. But, since I have been home, I have had more important and more exciting events controlling my life. I assure you though, I will have plenty of Paris photos and anecdotes to share with you shortly, but this entry is far more needed.

This past week has been spent running around, sitting around, eating around, shopping around, and getting to know my half sister and her getting to know our ENTIRE family…or so it seems to be the ENTIRE family. In addition to the fun getting to know you of the big sis, I have never spent so much time with my Aunt and my cousins. And this past week has been wonderful.

Without going into grave detail about this past week, I will keep this blurb down to the likes and dislikes. Let me start with my dislikes: Jewelry and Scrapbooking!!!!!

I have discovered this past week that I am the complete opposite and most contradicting form of ALL the women in my family. I am the runt and the elephant in the room in my insecure views of me with my family. Most females and especially the women in my family love jewelry. I certainly am blessed to not have this trait, which will allow for a more fruitful bank account balance now and in the future…in retrospect, I will probably spend the “what could have been jewelry” money on traveling, so I probably will be less fortunate in the end. But matching rings is what these women want and even though I am not a jewelry fanatic, the rings are pretty and are pretty neat…I guess. So my sis bought one to match and I will continue to think about it.

Now, let’s talk about scrapbooking. The idea is great. The final product is timeless. BUT the process, the cost, and the obsession are absolutely not for me. So, this means… obviously, that the wonderful world of scrapbooking is right up the alleys of the lovely ladies that share the same bloodline as I.

So, after a little jewelry shopping and scrapbook store shopping (YES! They have actual stores…more than 1…dedicated strictly to scrapbooking! Ack!) I am still alive and in great spirits. I will even offer one positive to both addictions: There is actually a ring I am considering only because my sis bought one and it would be kinda neat to have matching rings. Scrapbooking does have some pretty paper. That’s it. That is all you will get out of me.

So, more importantly, what is my point and my likes? Although I do not enjoy these things and bad habits :)LOL... I do absolutely and without any doubt enjoy and love the company. I will jewelry shop and scrapbook shop with you lovely ladies anytime just because y’all are a riot to be around. You make me laugh, you make me happy, and you make me so grateful to have such a normal and loving family.

10,000 B.C.



I think this movie looks pretty kick ass. I am not normally a fan and I rarely get excited about films that have obvious fake oversized wicked looking animals that will later be either your friend or foe...take your unexpected pick. Historical films or films about the future that I cannot and will not be able to ever fathom as realisitc rarely ever make my movie likes either. I admit...be prepared...that I never wanted to make it to the theater and I never got my panties in a wad about the Star Wars films, the Lord of the Rings films, or Harry Potter. I know...blasphemy is me. Get over it.

BUT! I am super stoked about the new movie 10,000 B.C. This films looks way wicked cool and interesting...to say the least. For some reason I like the word "wicked" today. Work with me.

Synopsis (from yahoo):
A young hunter is forced to lead a small group of hunters to pursue a band of mysterious warlords to the end of the world to save the girl he loves.

The above synopsis kinda lacked/sucked. So I went to the 10,000 B.C site and found a much better description:

From director Roland Emmerich (“Independence Day,” “The Day After Tomorrow”) comes a sweeping odyssey into a mythical age of prophesies and gods, when spirits rule the land and mighty mammoths shake the earth.
In a remote mountain tribe, the young hunter D’Leh (Steven Strait) has found his heart’s passion – the beautiful Evolet (Camilla Belle). But when a band of mysterious warlords raid his village and kidnap Evolet, D’Leh leads a small group of hunters to pursue the warlords to the end of the world to save her. As they venture into unknown lands for the first time, the group discovers there are civilizations beyond their own and that mankind’s reach is far greater than they ever knew. At each encounter the group is joined by other tribes who have been attacked by the slave raiders, turning D’Leh’s once-small band into an army.
Driven by destiny, the unlikely warriors must battle prehistoric predators while braving the harshest elements. At their heroic journey’s end, they uncover a lost civilization and learn their ultimate fate lies in an empire beyond imagination, where great pyramids reach into the skies.
Here they will take their stand against a tyrannical god who has brutally enslaved their own. And it is here that D’Leh finally comes to understand that he has been called to save not only Evolet but all of civilization.
Warner Bros. Pictures presents, in association with Legendary Pictures, a Centropolis Production of a Roland Emmerich film: “10,000 BC,” starring Steven Strait, Camilla Belle and Cliff Curtis.

No wonder I think I am going to like it! It's a damn love story!

Steven Straight: Where did this little cutie come from??





And Camille Belle...Isn't she absolutely adorable??





Here is the trailer from you tube. I found one with Greek subtitles and thought it was only appropriate.

What Would You Do With $200 Million

Do you play POWERBALL?? I normally don't only because I forget to buy a ticket. I'd actually love to have a bad habit of getting a POWERBALL ticket every Wednesday and Saturday. But the POWERBALL is up to $200 MILLION with a take home cash value of $99.2 Million!!!

So, what would you do? First, would you take the lump sum of $99.2 million or have them disupurse it out over however many years?

I would tell them to take their dumb taxes and give me the rest now!! But what would I do with almost $100 million?

1. Pay off my house.
2. Pay off my car.
3. Pay off my parent's house.
4. Pay off all debt I have and my parent's have.
5. But new home with land for myself and buy my parent's a new one too.
6. TRAVEL!
7. I'd probably buy a vacation home somewhere.
8. DONATE. I'd definately donate money to various charities. Mostly for starving and underpriviledged children and diseases that need cures.
9. Invest.
10. Live a comfortable lifestyle but not luxurious. I want that money to draw INTEREST, baby!
11. Write. I'd sit on my butt and write for a good time.

Sadly, I would expect my frugal ways would still emerge and exist on a daily basis. I'd give more money away and spend it on others rather than on myself.

What would you do with almost $100 million??!!!

You Know?

You know those days that feel completely off kilter and you feel like you are functioning out of your own body and mind. I made a comment to someone today that was the only thing that made complete sense to me..."I think my mind took the day off and failed to send me the memo."

So, true. I was forgetful. I forgot in just a few moments what I wanted to say more than once. And I normally remember the most mundane of details. I left something at work only to realize it half way home. I absolutely needed it, so I had to turn around and head back to my office...talk about crapping all over my own cornflakes. I completely lost my entire day in doing "stuff" rather than enjoying the nice afternoon. Then I had to come home and work late on other obligations to bring home the bacon. The worst of it all? I know I was rediculously productive today, but nothing feels as if it had any significance. It's already forgotten. I think I am on overload and it is way past my bedtime.

I am ready to move on to a new day and hopefully I can remember it.

Horoscopic Thoughts

Yes, I am one of those optimistic, hopeful, and rediculously gullable people who enjoy reading their horoscope everyday. No, I am not a devil worshipper and I am not a freak...at least not in the mystic sense. IT'S FUN. So, this is my "Quickie" horoscope for today: Your ideas are just as good as anyone else's ideas -- promote your thoughts today.


Here are my thoughts:

1. I regularly "promote" my thoughts everyday. Sometimes too much. Does this mean I should promote them twice as much today? Because whoever gets the brunt of that ranting is surely getting the short ass end of the twig. sucks for you.


2. I came across this photo and article on yahoo. My thoughts? I'll give you the censored "G" rated version: Dang, shoot, holy poppy sticks. and firefighters are so giving.


Firefighters Charlie Schmidt, left, and John Stewart, both of Vancouver, Wash., fire dept., pick up their gear and head out after resting following racing up 1,311 stairs in competition Sunday, March 2, 2008, in the Columbia Center tower in Seattle. More than 1,000 firefighters from throughout the U.S., as well as Canada and New Zealand, raced 788 vertical feet up 69 floors in the 17th annual stair climb at the tower, in a benefit for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

3. I am extraordinarily hungry today. More than usual and I am normally always pretty hungry. What am I having for lunch? A lean cuisine. Probably why I am always so hungry, huh? But if I eat two lean cuisines, would that defeat the purpose? or is it still better than eating a whataburger burger, fries, and a chocolate milk shake? Because although I absolutely dislike fastfood, it is sounding quite tasty.

4. Should I feel guilty for writing this blog while at work? nah.

5. Countdown to Paris trip: 6 days, 3 hrs. Still need to get a purse that has a strap to wrap across my chest (diagnally). Not like you really needed that crappy description. But, it is what it is.

6. Sometimes I wish I was my dog. Spoiled and adorable and not having to lift a single paw for work and get to sleep all day. Then I wonder if I would really be satisfied with such an unrewarding life. Perhaps.

7. I wonder how the election will turn out tomorrow. I know who I voted for...even though this candidate did not win my state. Actually, every election I have voted in, my choice candidate lost my state. But, I would be happy with either democrat when it comes straight down to it. McCain is way too old. I can't believe the logic on the Republican side. At least choose a candidate that doesn't have a strong possibility of croaking very soon. I am with Chuck Norris on that issue.

8. Speaking of Chuck Norris. Have you checked out chucknorrisfacts? Check it out if you want a laugh or if you are super bored.

A Good Tune for a Sunday Afternoon

There is a morning radio talk show I regularly enjoy for good laughs on my way into work. Have you heard of Lex and Terry? They are in Texas...I think around the Dallas area and I also think they are broadcasted on one of the satellite radio services. Anyway, they try to find new musical bands that are cool and unique...when not doing there normal practical jokes and giving truthful advice. They have some hilarious regular segments if you take it for what it is...a reason to laugh. They are definitely not for the easily offended.

So, they found this band Odis and I just think this little Asian guy can absolutely rock out. He's great and this song just makes you want to bounce your head and move around however you feel natural. Check it out!

Fabulous Film Friday

Now here is a film I have been looking forward to for a little while: Penelope




Two reasons: Christina Ricci and Reese Witherspoon

I just love both these actresses and I have not really seen good ole Chritina in a while. Also, I believe that Reese was a producer for the film. This film more than likely is not going to stir any oscar mentions, but it sure does look like a cute little fun film...with a little bit of a simple message.

Here is the rundown of the movie from Yahoo movies:

A modern day romantic tale about a young girl's inspiring journey, a mysterious family secret and the power of love. With all odds against her, in order for Penelope to break the family curse, she must find true love with "one of her own kind." The warm and funny adventure leads her to realize the most important life lesson, "I like myself the way I am." Penelope Wilhern, born to wealthy socialites, is afflicted by the Wilhern spell that can only be broken when she finds love. Hidden away in her family's estate, the lonely girl meets a string of suitors in her parent's futile attempt to break the curse. Each eligible bachelor is enamored with Penelope and her sizable dowry... until her curse is revealed. Lemon, a mischievous and eager tabloid reporter wants a photograph of the mysterious Penelope and hires Max to pose as a prospective suitor to get the shot. The handsome down-on-his luck gambler finds he falling for Penelope, but not wanting to disappoint her or to expose his surreptitious ways, he decides to disappear. Fed up by his latest betrayal and determined to live life on her own terms, Penelope breaks free from her family and ventures into the world alone. She finds adventure and Annie, her first friend and becomes the person she was meant to be.

And check out the trailer:



What are you looking forward to?

Pet Feng Shui

There seems to be Feng Shui for everything! I came across this article: "The Do's and Don't's of Pet Feng Shui" and thought I'd share it.

I do a few of the "Dont's." uh.oh. The one I do and don't know if I can stop, is I let the dogs sleep on the bed! They are so cozy and warm. I know I should get a big pet bed and put it beside our bed...but I am so weak when it comes to telling the dogs "no." BUT, I have always been against letting the dogs have scraps or human food...period.

What do you let your pets get away with?

A Good Tune for a Sunday Afternoon

I thought I'd share one of my favorite songs with you guys and gals. This song always makes me want to sing along and it makes me wish I had some pipes to do it. I always feel so invigorated and empowered after listening to this tune. Thanks to my friend, Jeri, this song will always be an all time fave.


Susan Tedeschi: It Hurt So Bad




****Go, ahead. Sing along no matter how bad it sounds!

Fabulous Film Friday!

So, like many other movie lovers, I look forward to Fridays not only because it's the start of the weekend (not the end of the week), but because there are NEW MOVIE RELEASES! yay! yippee!! I am starting a new segment called "FABULOUS FILM FRIDAY." ( I might work on the name) The idea is pretty simple and obvious: We are going to talk about what movies we want to see that are being released today. We can also talk about recent past releases that we haven't seen yet. I am going to keep mine simple today.

There isn't too much being released today in the OKC, but there is an unexpected film feeling out my fancy.

Be Kind Rewind


Totally unexpected for my tastes...but this movie seems like it would just be a good laugh. I normally like Jack Black minus the Nacho wrestler character. I think he won my heart over in "The Holiday." He was just too adorable in that movie. Sometimes I am just in the mood to laugh and not really think about the movie. I have cried in the last two movies I have seen and now I just want to cry from laughing too hard.

So here is the movie rundown copied from Yahoo! Movies:

Jerry, a junkyard worker, attempts to sabotage a power plant that he believes is melting his brain. But when his plan goes awry, the magnetic field that he creates accidentally erases all of the videotapes in a local video store where his best friend Mike works. Fearing that the mishap will cost Mike his job, the two friends team up to keep the store's only loyal customer - a little old lady with a tenuous grasp on reality - from realizing what has happened by recreating and re-filming every movie that she decides to rent. From "Back to the Future," to "Robocop," to "Rush Hour," to "The Lion King," Jerry and Mike become the biggest stars in their neighborhood by starring in the biggest movies ever made.

Check out the Trailer


What are you looking forward to watching this weekend??

Miss Bridge

(yes, we were child super heroes one Halloween...we have no shame.)


So one of my best girlie gal pals...the always anti-English major because she will never understand my need to overanalyze EVERYTHING, she will never understand my need to want to learn and strive to be grammatically correct, and she will never understand my need to express myself with writing because my mind and mouth don't work as a team (so frustrating!)... started her own blog. I cannot believe it!

This is the girl who would tease me about my blogs...or at least one of the many people I love so much in my life that tease me about my blogs. This is the finance major roommate who would get frustrated with my hours of reading and analyzing Plato and Aristotle or me trying to decipher the symbolism of a sword or rose or some color in some Chaucer or Whitman poem. Oh, Poetry, how I love thee....but I digress.

Well, fellow bloggers, English language lovers, and writers of all that is pouring through your hearts and fingers, ...I sucked her in!

She started her own blog today! She has only one post so far, but you just wait. This girl is far more witty and clever than I could ever be at the drop of a hat. I can't wait for some of her banter.

So, help me make her feel welcome and throw her a welcoming comment to prove that bloggers are just as cool as any ole boring banker!

Disclaimer: I do not promote, support, encourage, try to correct, or discriminate against her awful grammar or spelling. Not that mine is anywhere near wonderful or perfect. Let us all just think of her lack of correct punctuation as part of her charm...and blonde-ness.

Isn't she precious?

Phone Pics!

Ok, I admit that I am way behind the "times," but that does not mean I can't be uber excited about this. I just figured out...or I just took the time to fiddle with my phone...how to upload photos from my phone to my computer. I know. I know. Get with it, Deb!

But, here are a few choice photos from my phone pic frenzy.

Dinner
From a few nights ago but this meal is a pretty hot item on my menu. Cucumber and tomato salad, iced tea, salmon (I think I already ate it), and of course...RICE! and low sodium soy sauce. I need to keep those fingers from swelling so much.


Life of Pi
My current source of reading entertainment. Although I found it in the "Young Adult" Section of the local book store, I find it to be a good read so far.


Bookmark
250 some-odd pages into my current read, I have my Ruby look-alike saving my reading spot so that I can take those well needed blog post breaks.


Ruby Getting "told"
I think she's getting scolded for something she "probably" didn't do....(yeah righ!) She is soooo ornery.


Mr. Trooper
He just loves his daddy. One of the sweetest pound pups ever!


Little Nyxie Rae
Our foster dog. We love her too. She has such a sweet face and she can't help but want to give kisses ALL the time. I think she is straining to give a kiss in this pic.

All That I Love

I feel like a lemming, but in this case it is great to be lemming. In addition to all the other blogs that have and will be written today in regards to the subject of L-O-V-E, I am adding my tribute to all that is lovely, loveable, and loving in my life.

My new robe.

One of the few things I wanted for Christmas was the cushy Red with white trim "Cozy Little Things" Robe from Victoria's Secret. Of course, the person who was in charge of getting this simple gift, eh hem...Clint, waited until the last minute to make a dash to the VS store. AND, they were, duh, sold out. And by this point, it was a little late to order it online to have it delivered in time for Christmas morn festivities. So, a VS gift card stocking stuffer is what Deb recieved. This actually was okay with me, because not only is patience a virtue, but patience is the key for getting more for your money...or gift card. So, I finally ordered my Cozy Little Things Robe that was on "CLEARANCE" and had enough on the good ole gift card for a few more items. I got the delivery this week and I absolutely love my new robe.

My dogs.
(I only have pics of one dog on this computer.)
I love my dogs. They make me feel all the things a woman should feel: wanted, needed, loved, safe, fun to be around, and dominant. Haha...how true is that? So, this morning, I was watching the Today show while eating my yummy bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios and laying on the couch in my new robe. The news segment that caught my attention was about a woman (now a former mayer)who stole her neighbor's dog while they were on vacation. This woman was entrusted with the dog's care while its owners were away, and this woman told the owners the dog had died and STOLE it. She claims she saved the dog from a life of neglect and abuse...but if you saw this woman, you might agree with me that she seems like a psycho bee-atch! There was definately a level of creepiness and physcosis in this lady.

Which made me think that if anyone tried to steal my dog and lied about it dying, I would probably whip out some unlearned kung-fu and open up a can of Oklahoma girl whip ass on this freak of nature woman. Seriously! who does that? She should be ashamed.

My Person.


I love my person. He hates that I refer to him as my "person" and not my boyfriend. But he is so much more than just a boyfriend. He is my best friend, he is sometimes "one of the girls," he is my go-getter of tampons when I am feeling too gross and cranky from lack of bathing and cramps to get them myself, he is my chef, he is my handy-man, he is the daddy of our dogs, he is my grocery shopping partner, he is my shoulder to wipe snot, he is my movie partner, he is the stealer of hot water, he is my wine buddy, he is my dinner date, and so many other wonderful things. Boyfriend just does not serve his role with justice. I am a very needy person, I guess.

My family.


Of course. This is a given. My mother was the first to call me this morning as soon as I sat down at my desk. Her lovely "English is my second language" version of Happy Valentines Day sounded a little like "Hoppy Varentins Day" or something like that. She is so funny. I am sure the men of my familia are either still asleep in bed or doing guy things deemed more important than a Valentine greeting.

My boots.

Everyone hates them...even my person, whom is the cause of my owning them. But I heart my boots. Why? Because its freezing and my wool-lined boots keep my fat toes warm. No, I don't have the expensive real version, I have the cheap knock offs...and they are just as lovely.

Obviously, my love of these items are in very random order because my mind doesn't associate importance over excitement about a wonderful robe. I hope your Valentines Day is filled with love and lovely things that make you smile.

Check Out My Other Blog

I started another blog called the Organizing Guru. Organizing Guru obviously has a specific focus...organizing! woo hoo.

I will still continue to post on babalou, but this is my random and personal blog filled with all my crazy opinions. Feel feer to put both on your blog roll!!

I Heart Coffee

The day started as soon as I opened my front door so that I could go warm up my car. SNOW! The snow falling had recently started and was only in its beginning stages of sticking. Great. At least I wouldn't have to drive to work in thick snow.

People seem to suddenly develop a case of common sense stupidity when the first flake of snow falls on the streets. And I defintaly do not consider myself one of those people. So, in anticipation of my drive to (the world of boredome)work while I waited for my car to warm up a bit, I decided to call in an order to my favorite comfort for everthing in the morning coffee shop.

hmmmm. Coffee and breakfast sandwiches. The breakfast sandwich is made with fresh homemade biscuits every morning and I get to pick my cheese rather than being stuck with plain old American....blah. I prefer to spice up my morning with a little pepper jack cheese with my egg, bacon, and homemade biscuit (twice the size of any Mikey D's biscuit sandwhich). And of course I have to make my biscuit grabbing belly not feel so guilty, so I order some fruit to munch on througout the morn.

But, after a (stupid driver) stupendous filled morning, arriving at my desk to start my work day could not have been better without my Grande Sugar Free Mocha from the wonderful local Java Daves. I heart coffee...espcially when I get to watch the beautiful snow fall and think about the crazy driver filled adventure home.
