Haven’t you heard yet? Today is the best day known to man: National Coffee Day!

I am ashamed and embarrassed to admit that had it not been for Eric Anderson’s post over on Pownce I wouldn’t even have known that this glorious holiday was upon us!

(By the way; Eric Anderson has some really awesome Pownceage…and his site is packed full of awesome stuff. He really seems to be an super cool guy with an amazing amount of killer links to things all over the Net. [He’s a designer, too! w00t!] I highly recommend reading what he’s got to say!)

Anyway, back to this glorious holiday! Coffee….ahhh, yes. The beverage of life. As anyone who really knows me knows, I am an avid coffee drinker. I average 2-3 pots of coffee per day. I can’t even begin to express how much I love the stuff. There have been times when I’ve weened myself down and done without it for a week or two here and there…but I always go back to it. Absence from it only makes my heart grow fonder!

So, how are you going to celebrate National Coffee Day this year? Are you going to go to Starbucks or some other shop that you consider your favorite and indulge in the finest of brews? Are you going to stay at home and drink your coffee the way you normally do? Are you maybe going to melt some milk chocolate and cover some tasty coffee beans in it? Or will today be like every other day?

Please share your coffee-lovin’ stories with me! I am dying to know if you are as excited over this holiday as I am. I would love to know how you’re going to celebrate…if at all. And even if you’re not, that’s perfectly fine, too. I totally understand that not everyone is an addict like I am. I do know, though, that my BFF Sarah, and my other amazing friend, Casey, will be appreciating this day in some way, shape or form. Even if they go through with their normal routines, I have absolutely no doubts that knowing it’s National Coffee Day will mean something big to both of them! Birds of a feather really do flock together!     :lol:

In closing, I would just like to say once more…
HAPPY NATIONAL COFFEE DAY!!!

I made this for my BFF, Sarah, a little while ago. I’ve already posted it on My.Opera and on Sarah’s MySpace page, but I want to post it here as well. The whole wide world needs to know that Sarah is the best friend ever!

Here’s what I posted on My.Opera:

I haven’t used Photoshop for anything fun lately, and I’ve missed it greatly. I’m still working with Photoshop, but it’s all business related.     :(     I’m burned out with the business junk.

I decided that all work and no play makes Karen super pissy, so I just had to make a special graphic for my BFF, Sarah.      :D

Sarah - I love you lots! Thank you for always being there to cheer me up and remind me that there really are good people in the world.      :shock:

Here’s what I made…

(FYI: Everything in the picture (other than the pictures of Sarah & me) was computer generated by little ol’ me. :D )

After posting my last blog entry, I learned that both Sarah & Casey have pink tumblers as well!   :shock:   I hurried and took a picture of said tumbler so I can find out if either or both of them have the same exact tumbler!

Wouldn’t that be so cool?!   :lol:

Okay…maybe it’d not be that cool to anyone else,

but it would be flippin’ awesome to me!

Anyway, here is the Almighty Tumbler…

Sooooo…now I will just sit here and wait to hear from Sarah and Casey!    :)

• As you can see, I changed the look of my site again. Sorry to all of my male readers out there for the level of femininity I’ve got going on…but I’m a chick, so yeah. I think it’s to be expected. ;)

• Today was the first church service in the new building. Wow..that’s such a nice church! Brand spankin’ new and beautiful. They did a really classy job on the place. :D

• Lonnie got me a pink coffee tumbler thing today! I love it! Not only does it hold twice as much coffee as a regular cup does, but it stays hot for way longer…AND I can take it with me when we go somewhere. I’m actually surprised I’ve gone this long without one. :? What the heck was I thinking?! (I wasn’t)

• My toe is still killing me. I promised Lonnie that I will go get it checked out tomorrow. I need to make sure they can’t set it or anything. The difference with the break this time is that it’s in two different places. I’m smooth like that. :roll:

• I’m going to call my Dad tomorrow to see how he’s doing. I’ve been leaving him alone so that he doesn’t have to talk and can get healed up as quickly as possible, but I really do want to talk to him. Tomorrow it is! :D

• Lonnie is playing some decent music today! :shock: For once, we agree on the tunage! w00t! Right now he’s playing the live version of “Lola” by The Kinks. One of my all time favorite songs.

• Speaking of Lola….when I get my dog, I have really been thinking of going with that name. I think it’d be an adorable name for a tiny dog. I can’t get it until we can TOTALLY afford it, though, so it’ll be a long time. We’re still behind in our finances.

• I was hoping to get a Teacup Chihuahua, but lately I’ve been considering a black Pug and a Pomeranian as well. They’re all so cute…and expensive. :roll: No matter what I end up getting, it’d better like to be dressed up because I’m going to have a full wardrobe for the thing….which is just one more reason it’ll be a LONG time ’til I actually get it.

• I had a salad for lunch. Mmm…it was really good. I like to put Walnuts on my salad. It adds the perfect crunchy texture.

• I was talking with a woman at church this morning about Seasonal Affective Disorder. She said that she suffers from it, too. She then said something like, “You might want to consider taking in caffeine. It has a way of helping me with the depression.” I looked at Lonnie and just kinda laughed…then said, “Umm, caffeine is definitely not an issue with me. I’m a coffee-a-holic!” She kinda chuckled…but also looked at me weirdly. I stopped and thought about it for a moment. What if she looked at me that way because I admitted to being addicted to something and she kinda looks down on that whole way of being?!

• Maybe I’m just being paranoid. The woman was really nice, so I will give her the benefit of the doubt.

• I just took a whiff of my dry erase markers. The blue one smells WAY better than the black one. Mmm…I love that scent.

• I got a letter from Sarah, my BFF, in the mail today! :D Yay! I love getting letters from her. It makes my day. It’s cool to talk to people online and everything, but nothing compares to a handwritten letter.

• Now Lonnie is listening to Tom Petty.

• There was something I wanted to blog about, but now that I’m in the process of blogging, I cannot remember what it was. I normally write ideas down when they come to me, but for some reason, I failed to do so with this idea.

• I’ve been having some really messed up dreams lately. More like nightmares. The one last night was so upsetting. In my dream, I discovered that my son had been calling his friend’s parents Mom & Dad. Not only that, but when I confronted him with it, he basically ripped me a new one - telling me that I’m a horrible mother and that his friend’s parents are there for him more than I ever have been. Of course, I woke up totally flustered…yet relieved that it was a dream. My son and I are very close, so for something like that to happen…well, it’d pretty much kill me. Even if we weren’t close, it’d do me in. :cry:

• Isn’t it impressive that Jimi Hendrix was left-handed (AKA superior..hehe), but played a right-handed guitar up-side-down?! :o Wow…I can’t even fathom the difficulty of learning it all backwards like that.

• I wish I could afford to go get new glasses. I have insurance, but I can’t even afford the flippin’ co-payment or whatever it is right now. My peepers are strained! :mad:

• Well, the time has come for me to go get work done. I have two site layouts that I need to finish before I can relax. I’m hoping they will fly by so I can enjoy being lazy for a while. The weekend has totally flown by!
