Come On Over for A Cup of Coffee Thread …
Monday is a comp day for me :). After a 60 hour week … that sounds pretty good. So, pull up a chair and tell me what you are like, what’s on your mind … who you are going to vote for … on American Idol or President. Consider this an open thread and tell me … whatever you want. If you want inspiration and you read my blog, I like quirky weirdness with a little bit of doom thrown in every once in a while. OH… and cute cat/dog pictures as well as jokes.
So … go ahead … I triple double dog dare you to leave a pithy, humor filled or deeply intellectual comment. ::: sipping some coffee :::

::: tasting the Hazelnut coffee ::: Ummm, this is very good, thank you.
Several of the Oklahoma gang and I crossed paths in Wichita in '06. Because of Laura Leigh's caring heart, she connected me with a LivingWaters here in Indiana. God bless your service to the Lord in the ass't leadership position, Daniel. That's wonderful.
That's not the scene I'm referencing but it's a good one. Even though this movie has some bad language and some raunchiness to it, there's stuff about Truth in there too. Pretty cool for a Hollywood movie.
:::: overhearing Randy speak of his Mom, Pat. Giggles at Randy's knowledge(?) of sports and thinking my Mom's name is Pat also ::::
Hey, Mindy, where's the sweetbread you mention?
:::can't talk…drinking copious amounts of hazelnut dark roast coffee:::
must…come…up…for…a
Was that EVER GOOD!!!
Good to see you, Daniel, Ben and Chas. Ben, what is Peaberry coffee?
:::going for seconds of the hazelnut:::
::: passes a whole soft-pretzel to Mindy :::
Of course there should be some french's brown mustard in the bag there…
Good points Daniel (do you prefer Dan? I'll presume not). My how time flies! The whole game is over and Tom Brady didn't seem like he was even there in Arizona.
::: deep sigh :::
Oh well, God can cure the hearts of all those football fans with a dose of Himself. It's kinda cool the Manning brother's have won two years in a row (I'd a been an 'underdog' rooter myself it it'd been anyone but the Patriots).
::: sips a deep draught of Peaberry wondering how to describe it :::
The SuperBowl was AWESOME in the fourth quarter. I was literally rooting for both teams. I couldn't pick one so I was happy for either. I was mostly happy that it wasn't a boring game.
::: imagining there are maggots in the pretzels … I am going hardcore back into the gym and food"watch" mode. :::
Why would there be maggots in the pretzels?! Have you ever had a Philly soft pretzel? Hmmmm?
I'm sorry to say that I slept through most of the Superbowl…then I followed the score from my phone…then I had a friend call and tell me the outcome at the end. Sounds like it was quite the game!
Susan, Kate brought the sweetbread…it's there next to Cheryl's ginger snaps.
I had to work through the SuperBowl. :::pouting::: Only a musician would plan a concert during the SuperBowl. Did Tiger play well?
I've never had a Philly soft pretzel. Would you pass me one too, Chas?
:::thinking of Randy::: Oh yup, definitely full of maggots. Veggies and light dip?
:::contemplating peaberry coffee and wondering if it can be found in Canada:::
Cheryl gets it … YES veggies and light dip.
Visualizing horrible things in food that I want to devour is very effective for me.
Ok, so I TOTALLY missed that one!
passing Mindy Cauliflower that tastes exactly like a warm toasty pretzel with mustard.
… work with me here …
::::: ummm, sweet bread with coffee, perfecto ::::::
That was THE most exciting 4 quarter SuperBowl I've ever seen. It was especially so since it was Peyton's little brother Eli in the SuperBowl! Archie's two sons have won the SuperBowl. What are the odds? They have another brother, Cooper, the eldest of the three. If you like great, inspirational stories and also like the Mannings, this is a great story http://www.sptimes.com/200
Check out the picture of Cooper, Peyton and Eli as young boys. It's a great pic.

:::drum roll::: "And now for the next bit of entertainment we have the lovely Susan Hundley here to grace us with her stunning skill on the spoons." :::thunderous applause from me because it isn't appropriate for me to applaud on behalf of everyone in the room::: (I almost said I could only applaud for myself but that would mean something entirely different from my intent)
I'm so excited! I've never heard a 4 part spoon solo before. You go girl!!! I love salon style concerts.
Randy, I thought of you earlier today whilst in the grocery store. I passed by a shelf of Right Guard Sport and had to flip the lid off and smell. Very nice!
:::sipping coffee and hoping someone will share a monologue:::
::::::spoon roll::::: Way to go Sooz. That was amazing. I haven't heard the spoons played like that since HeeHaw.
Cheryl, Peaberry is only in Denver and Boulder. Sounds like a fantastic reason for a road trip.
The game was fun. Joe Buck cracks me up in his commercials. He's not afraid to look goofy with his sports coat and tie self.
The maggots haven't deterred me from eating lately, Randy. Had a peanut butter cookie at Mary's Mountain Cookies in Breckenridge. Two peanut butter cookies around peanut butter icing. Yum. Here, bro have one. And my wife makes a mean chocolate chip cookie bar, but for the Super Bowl she used butterscotch instead of chocolate. If there were maggots in those they are some happy maggots.
Ok that was gross.
:::::::::::::::laughing out loud with the dog looking at me strangely:::::::::::::
Guys and gals, can we get some coffee from here http://www.dazbog.com/dark
Soooo smoky and rich. Cheryl, it's mostly in Denver but there is a store in Silverthorne. Wish I'd known when I was up there. My daughter has a store right around the corner from her place.
Pass the pretzels. toooooeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyy. Darn Maggots.

:::: Dramatic bow to Cheryl and Ben after 'attempting' to play the spoons and laughing all the way through Cheryl and Ben's 'acting' like this is the best they've ever heard…… then hands Cheryl and Ben the spoons ::::
:::: Intercepting dangerous pass from Ben to Randy and taking the maggot filled, yucky, gross cookie to the kitchen and warming up my coffee ::::
You da bomb Susan Hundley. Thanks for looking out for my online figure.
Cheryl… Right Guard Rocks my face off.
Ben meet Sassy the Sasquatch ::: Sassy's hands could crush Ben's so she punches him lightly on the shoulder ::: Sassy … Ben. When Sassy first came out of the woods behind my condo she had several fun things with her. One of them was a glass box with gold trim. If you touch it thinking of whatever beverage or food you want … it appeared in the box and you could take it out and consume it! Just like Star Trek! Same sound affect even.
::: Sassy go mmph! with a big smile :::
The glass box is over there on the coffee table.
::::Bubbling with excitement from the roar of applause given to Susan and her spoon repertoire, the ham in me had to perform………my eye's meet with sassy, and she looked back at me with a mild curiosity……..then she glanced over to the direction of the heated screen door where I had sat down a large Coach cargo bag when I arrived…….eureka!!….
…grabbing the huge bag and following Sassy out to Randy's patio porch, my mind was racing with all the latest trends in hair fashion for spring 2008……
surmising pertinent information from our consultation together, we decided she needed a new look…more current, slightly edgy and most of all fresh and feminine……..
:::::announcing Sassy's surprise make-over to everyone in the room while touching the glass box thinking of two Strawberry/Banana smoothies, I retrieved them effortlessly and closed the window treatment on the patio door.::::
(sorry to long)
::::::2 hours later::::: I emerged from the patio disheveled and covered in powder, spritz and fine Sasquatch hair.
….DRUM ROLL PLEASE…
Sassy then strolls through the patio door entrance as if she was a Paris runway model:::right hand on hip, long legs crossing each other in that strutting gate and head held high::::she knows she looks HOT::::the crowd gasps out loud and stands to their feet in amazement:::Randy covers his mouth, a single tear running down his cheek:::::everyones eyes can believe what they're seeing……can it be ?…. on her head the retro 80's Tina Turner hair in platinum blonde with fushia tips rocking the house…..Sassy's full body platinum blonde color, cut in a show quality standard poodle cut really gives her a waist line, as well as, defines her legs and arms…..
:::::she stops throwing her head over one shoulder giving Randy a pouty look::::::I screamed "work it girl" and then decided I'd had enough coffee and needed to eat some lunch.
::::::ow::::::: sassy punched my shoulder again.
:::digging in purse for sunglasses:::
:::handing Randy kleenex:::
:::feeling some cultural whiplash:::
Coffee, I need coffee. Randy can you send Sassy out to buy some milk or something?
Daniel, have a good lunch. Hope you don't have any appts. with all that stuff on you.
:::::::ow:::::::: got my thumb caught between the spoons. How did you play those so well, Susan?
How are you doing with the spoons, Cheryl? Or did you drop them in your cultural whiplash?
:::: whispering to Ben :::: the glass box over there on the coffee table gives more than stuff to consume, I found it gives temporary abilities too.
That is freakin' hilarious.
::: Sassy looks over at Ben appalled … she don't do errands … she's a ROCK STAR! :::
Why is Susan glowing like Moses?
:::shaking cultural whiplash off::: Whew! Cultural whiplash gets me everytime!! :::picking up spoons::: I'm afraid I'm all thumbs, Ben. Susan has a rare gift. Susan, did you adopt a sundog!!!
:::keeping sunglasses on:::
I need another cup of coffee! :::filling mug:::
:::wondering if Mindy and Kate are preparing a duet:::
:::::handing Cheryl a six inch foam neck brace for her cultural whiplash and reminding her to always wear her seatbelt around such distinctly diverse, but redeemed, ex-gay hairdressers, I grabbed the key's to the rented Harley chopper and invited Sassy to lunch::::::……She tells me about a five star place called the Blue Elephant on North Alafaya Trail……anyone else want to go?…..
::::::thinking how I must look like I just won a huge white stuffed animal with Fushia tips from Universal Studio and planted it behind me on the chopper, I looked in the rear view mirror and said….Sassy! are those Cheryl's sunglasses you have on?……::::::LOL and firing up the Harley::::::Sassy tells me about the unique Caribbean/Cuban food at the Blue Elephant::::::yelling up to the coffee clutch " sure no one wants me to bring them something back?"::::::::
Thanks for the neck brace Daniel. I'd put it on but I'm killing myself laughing. I will remember the seatbelt suggestion. I had a seatbelt installed in my piano bench when I started accompanying singers.
Count me in for the Blue Elephant. :::pulling out second pair of sunglasses:::
:::::::::Cigars, bro! Nothing like a good cigar with a good smoky coffee::::::::::
::: recovering from the daze of the dazzeling spoon reparte :::
Wow, Randy, what's in this coffee? Is that Sassy and Dan on a Harley?
I shoulda had a smoothie!
::: wanders aimlessly around kitchen wondering why the sunburst mirror reminds me of the bright females amongst us today :::
::: rolls eyes ::: grin ::::
Why does this kind of stuff always happen when I have a few friends over? I mean … magic boxes, Sasquatches, Spoon concerts, freaked out Canadians, ex-gay hairdressers … it happens every time!
::: lovin' it :::
HEY DANIEL! Sassy is a floosy so don't let her corrupt you. ::: Sassy laughs louder than the harley and winks ::: Please bring me back some Paella. I think that is how you spell it. It's nutritious and delicious.
AND some great cigars. Sassy knows what I like! ::: looks at Ben ::: that is such a good idea.
::::snapping my fingers and saying gar-con in a perfect French accent:::: check please and tell those people coming back to our table for the fifth time that we are not actors from the 70's Saturday morning cartoon show " H.R. Puffin Stuff"::::Sheesh:::do you have my order to go for Paella and Blue corn cheese enchiladas ( for Cheryl ) :::Sassy ! that is your third large bowl of black bean salsa, Randy is soooo making you sleep on the patio, Senior please take those beans away and don't let her have anymore Peach Margarita's and can you please wrap me up six of your finest Havana cigars:::::
Sassy ! who's credit card is that?:::::Randy was so right, we need to get you in an accountability group, do you always behave with such promiscuities around Mariachi bands?, give back those tassel's to that poor man he looks horrified at what your doing with them.::::::wondering what Stephen would say if I brought Sassy to Living Waters next week::::::snickering to my self::::
