Monday Morning Coffee

 



Good Morning! Welcome to a brand new week. I am sitting in my spot on the couch looking out at the frozen lake, sipping a cup of Dunkin' Original Blend Coffee with a big ole splash of cream this morning. I have listened to my morning prayer podcast, written in my daily journal, and am ready to start the day. After another cup, perhaps. Then I am going to make some homemade slaw with cabbage, cilantro, mayonnaise, and cumin for our dinner of shrimp tacos tonight. I have some laundry to do and some floors to Swiffer as well. Tonight is dinner followed by me not-at-all judging a group of young women dating the same man in hopes of being the one chosen to be his wife. I suppose I am a sucker for a good love story and The Bachelor never disappoints. : )

Have a cozy day, my friends. Thanks for stopping by! Oh, and a little reminder...

Wednesday is National Chocolate Cake Day!
You know we will be celebrating, will you?

    1. Hi Peggy!
      I am so glad you liked it! And thank you for the tip about the ring on Mocha's collar. I never thought of that!

  11. NO...I will not be tempted by chocolate cake. We both know I will. I am trying to lose a few pounds and have decided not to bake the cakes of late, we shall see.
