Oh three AM wake up time and two pots of coffee later.......

Hello all,
I am writing a very tired blog today. I have been up since 3 Am, thought those days were over when little man started sleeping all night. Nope. I was in denial. He was up and that meant I needed to be up too. He was up and down all night so, I figured a bottle and he would go back to sleep. By 3:30 he was done and was snoozing away. I put little man back to bed and staggered my way back to mine. 1 hour later he was back up. And now he is back to sleep again. Poor little guy, I wish he would let me look and see if there is a new tooth in that mouth, but alas he wont let me. Oh the joys and happiness that is teething. It is tough being little and it is tough being the mama.
So, what did I do this time after getting him to sleep? Work on Chippey's Shoppe, my eBay store and watch "Extreme Christmas Trees" on Netflix. I had my Christmas cup full of coffee and was watching away. Then I figured I have the time and aloneness to list some stuff. So, here I am blogging away and going to list some things to my store. #joysofebay. I am also listening to Bing Crosby on Pandora. #dontjudge
Then it dawned on me, I have no clue where the rest of my holiday mugs are. Or where all my lights are for that matter. I love moving, because it is a treasure hunt to find things 8 months later when you are settled in. Ugh, so that means next week I am going to have to go into the attic and get them. If they are there. I like being prepared. I plan on starting a page of Christmas house decor. There are some homes around here in Fl ready for it. That or I may do Crazy Christmas trees. I am not sure what or how I will do it. But it will be cools.This is something I have been wanting to do since I started blogging and never did. So this year! If you have any you want posted let me know. #crazyforchristmas

A cup of coffee and a thought

I am drinking my coffee while little man is watching Peppa pig while rolling around the floor. I enjoy these moments, he is just peaceful. Usually when I am drinking my coffee lots of random thoughts spring up. Like why would Grandpa Joe on Willy Wonka get out of bed for chocolate but not because his family was really in bad shape?

Really, when a loaf of bread looks like a banquet get out of bed! He gets out of bed for a silly golden ticket, so does that mean he could have been helping that poor boy's mother this whole time?! I am sure. If I was Charlie's mom I would have been livid. Some rules would have been thrown down. Ok, old man, after the factory tour, you are looking for a job! No more cabbage water!

Wouldn't you be angry? None of them seemed to be upset. In the newer version grandpa actually got a job to help out. That was the only good thing about that flop of a movie! Sorry, but the old version of Willy Wonka was better and no one can replace Gene Wilder. That is just how it is.

Today in my cup is a batch of Barnie's Santa's White Christmas coffee. This blend is so insane and good! It is like eating a Christmas cookie, only it is coffee. Smooth and full flavored, if you like flavored coffee this is the stuff to get! Available online, in some Wal-Marts, and if in the south Publix.

SO, good. I got the cup at a Ross. Any guesses why?

RIP Keurig, I miss you.

We laughed, we fought, we shared amazing coffee; but alas my poor Keurig coffee maker died. We had a good run, 2 years of fun, and lots of Starbucks Blonde Roast. I miss it. I miss the ease of freshly brewed coffee. No measuring, no waiting, and no mess. I want it back. But, I have to wait. I have to wait until I can afford a new one. Yup. Bummer. I am not the only one suffering, my dear hubby has been without his Jetfuel K-cups for almost a month.

It died like this; First it wouldn't push water through the cups. So, I cleaned the needles and descaled it. By the way, my descale light never came on. I had thought I cured it, nope. That is when all the lights lit up and started blinking like Christmas lights. I unplugged it and the plugged it in, nothing. after an hour it worked and I could get some glorious caffeine into my system. The machine was OK for two weeks, then BOOM. It wouldn't take water from the reservoir. And then the lights went out. Oh no. What do I do? I need my coffee. I need the precious.

That is when I remembered my French press. Oh, Ikea French press how I love thee! I busted that thing out and proceeded to make the weakest coffee ever! In the history of ever! Great. I forgot how to measure coffee, two scoops? No. Three? No. What in Hera's name do I use? I finally a week ago figured it out. Go me!
French presses make great coffee, but you have to know coffee chemistry to use it. Like how many scoops to water. Oie'. I miss my Keurig, because yes I am lazy. And with baby bear, mama bear has no time to wait and taker her sweet time. I miss it so much, and freaking A, the warranty was out! However, Keurig gave me a discount off my next machine when I am ready.  50% off actually.

Yes, soon the precious will be back in my life. It will be mine;oh yes, it will be mine.
