Starting The Day With a BIG Cup of Coffee

United States
October 3, 2022 8:46am CST
Happy Monday Everyone! it's a rainy, raw day here today. The whole weekend was pretty nasty weatherwise from the remnants of the hurricane. We won't be seeing any sun until maybe Wednesday. The weekend came and went in the blink of an eye. Saturday was my oldest daughters birthday so she came for lunch and we had a nice little celebration. I'm a big birthday person so I love celebrating. Sunday was a lazy day. It was nice to just have nothing to do and relax. I have the laundry going, working on my "big" mug of coffee and hopefully the biggest decision I have to make today is what to make for dinner. How was your weekend?

I was up way too late doing some things that had to be done, got up early and decided to go back for a nap, which really was a good nap. I feel sure that today will be a good day because of that nap! Glad you got to have a birthday get together for your daughter, I love birthdays, too. There is no such thing as a cup of coffee being too big!

I think someone needs to time weekends. They always seemed to be a lot shorter than people said they were. I had a great weekend, went out and enjoyed the outdoors and the subtle changes that are ushering in autumn.

I'm glad you were able to get out and enjoy the outdoors over the weekend. Everything here is just wet I think someone is stealing time while we sleep (not only on weekends but weekdays too). Every day seems to go by faster and faster

Not good, we had the whole hurricane remant thing going on. Bright and sunny today, but windy as heck. The worst thing is it is supposed to rain again on Tuesday, and possibly Weds as well. Can't get a break around here.

@Marilynda1225 I don't know...every time you look they are saying something different about the winter. Last year we had the La Nina too, and although most of the winter seemed unremarkable, we had that horrible January storm that knocked power out for days. No repeat of that please. It was awful. As a matter of fact I have been looking for battery operated blankets but they all have to be plugged into an 12 volt outlet,

We had the same nasty weekend too but you probably got it worse than we did. Even today it's cold, damp, rainy and 100% nasty. Hope this isn't a sign that we're going to have an early winter

@Marilynda1225 - I got this passion to celebrate birthdays (and holidays) from my Dad. His pleasure was to be with the family and to organize something nice to celebrate. I am the same. Even if we are only my husband and I, I decorate the room and the table, I prepare a special meal, I write and print the Menu... it must be a celebration.

Glad you're getting nice weather Anna. We had a miserable weather weekend but it was nice being able to spend my daughters birthday with er. If my son in law didn't have to work they probably would have gone somewhere and I wouldn't have seen her on her actual birthday. It's nice to know I'm not the only birthday person

Sunday's weather was better. So I went out for a morning walk. Went to my nephew's place, playing electric guitar with him. It was the first time I played electric guitar. Mine is an acoustic one.

Was playing electric guitar difficult? Sounds like you had fun playing music with your nephew

@Marilynda1225 Actually playing electric guitar is easier. The strings are thinner and easier to press down. It was fun.

Heavy rain really does create problems. Hope it stops so you can get to the market

Maybe one day you could put up a photo of your big coffee mug. Some of the ones in our house-sits are so big you could wash your feet in them!!

Our weekend was quiet and uneventful. The weather is going to warm up to 70 before it takes another big plunge to 50 on Friday. I'm afraid that the cold weather is just around the corner.

What to cook...that decision takes some time everyday . Are you close to Florida? Hope you weren't much effected by the hurricane. The visuals coming out are quite heartbreaking.

I’m on my second load of laundry and dishes are done. Taking care of all the sickies in my house. Weather seems decent but I only went out for a moment to grab something quick. Going to make rice pudding soon as a comfort food for my husband. I like celebrating birthdays too. I’m glad it was a nice day for you. Lazy days can be wonderful!

Our weekend was windy and wet too from the remnants of Ian. Today is still breezy but the sun is shining brightly. I did laundry and it is drying outside. Cooked some supper for us, shrimp curry and rice with some carrots. Mike really enjoyed it. He has been wanting some curry. Hope whatever you decide on for supper you'll enjoy.
