11/10 LOOSE LIPS: Happy Sunday LL!!

[Michelle and Mannie (GA)]

Good Morning LL! (YUM! I Love coffee!), and Happy First Day of Fall!
LL! It's is I, Elsa, Lil Bit, kitteh barista!, president and CEO of Coffee Cat! Life is GOOD! Lola and Bug are very busy resting.... They say Sunday is sleep in day... well ok then! so. well. anyways. Coffee time! For today, I proudly offer Elsa's special 10 hour energy coffee, and triple shot espresso, beans from the heart of central Ethiopia. For my mocha fans: Venti Quad orange and vanilla mocha, laced with orange swirls, topped with chocolate whip, garnished with orange zest, slivered vanilla beans and chocolate swirls....... SWEET!, and perfect for a fall day. OH! No worries, a dollop of orange and vanilla and chocolate and caramel swirl ice cream, on top of a dollop of fudge, and a chocolate caramel drizzle.... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh....... mega good! TJ's dunking cookies and Cronuts standard with every delivery!

I hope everyone had a great Caturday. Mine was catch up day, and I didn't get alot done, just shopping. I didn't even cleaned up Lola's plant and dirt mess from yesterday... :lol: instead I went to my DD's . They bought a new TV, which meant moving the furniture, which meant big pieces of furniture, which meant well we should paint, which meant: HELP! so I went and helped. I'm not too sure how helpful I really was, short of keeping the boys occupied while dad got things prepped etc for painting. LOL: all this work because of a new TV. :lol: :lol: It was fun though. Nicholas got to take me to the store, and I discovered a wonderful locally grow produce place near their home. omg.... I'd shop their all the time if they were closer. Gorgeous produce! Nicholas was in little kid heaven yesterday - he got to help dad paint. That was fun. He was so good at listening to the rules, like on the drop cloth only, roller on the wall only, no hands in the paint.... he did really well. we only has one hand-print on the wall. :lol: :lol: :lol: This I will share just because it was so darn funny.... We stopped at Starbucks on the way out of the store: one of their shops that they have a store entrances. I guess Erin had introduced him to Frappuccinos a while back. In her words: I've created a 2 year old Starbucks monster. :lol: :lol: So... she orders this venti frap, java chocolate chip, complete with a mountain high "dollop"of whip on the top, chocolate drizzle abounded. And I'll be darned: Nicholas latched onto that thing, would not share, and that straw never left his mouth until all that frap was gone. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Well, it was funny. We kept hearing this slurp slurp slurp.... Per Nicholas: "mommy this frappuccino (yes he used the correct word) is mine. You need to get your own, ok?" Picassa link: A Day with the boys... The first section of photos is from Bill Pace Produce, then Starbucks, then some of William, winding yo with Nicholas's painting session with his dad.

Normalcy in MusketeerVille! It was such a quiet day here yesterday for the kitties...and spent most of the day sleeping. I'm really not too surprised, as the weather turned awful after a nice start: drizzle by noon. What better things is there to do but nap. Smart kitties! Lola and Bug also latched onto the shopping bags after I came back from the store. Sure didn't take them long to rip them apart. :lol: :lol: :lol: Elsa ventured out once, but didn't stay long. She's really not a fan of cold, unless sun is involved. I still need to clean up after Lola's latest plant adventure.... Maybe I should just leave it, as she hasn't been back since she made the mess,... hmmmm.. maybe natural deterrent! maybe. She's sound asleep on my lap as I type this. Such a sweetie girl when she's down and out. Normalcy in MusketeerVille? Guess so!

Have a great day everyone! I'm not too sure what will be here today. I had hoped to hike, but the weather report is not all that favorable, even snow in the forecast for the mountains, close to a foot or so. Well... we shall see what the next few hours look like, then decide. I may wait until monday when there are sun rumors... An out and about for sure, but I think it will be local... It might be a good day just to stay put. We shall see! Besides... all that I didn't so yesterday due my spending time with Erin Jason Nicholas and William still sits here..... waiting.....

KITTIES! Remember: think BLUE, think GREEN cat_pet_icon

Morning Michelle, oh my :lol: so cute with Nicholas and the Frappucinos. Oh that sounds so good right now, and I am a straight coffee drinker, no cream or sugar. Sounds like a fun day yesterday Nice on the new TV, too.
Elsa, I needs 10 Hour coffee and extras today. I've been up since 1:30 am playing with you know who, Elsa's clone. :lol:
Sounds neat on that produce store. Do you have a Trader Joe's close by? It's my fav store. Have a great day and hope you can slip in a little walk even though the weather is bad. We're still havimg 80's mid day.

Hi Michelle,

Isn't it funny how buying one new thing, can create a whole new chain of things that need to be done! :lol: :lol: Wow, on the frapacinno - Nicholas really had a good grip on that!

The produce looks wonderful! I could spend a good amount of time in there.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Morning Ann I have to agree on Nicholas and that frap! t was as big as he was~ no way was he sharing. :lol: :lol: :lol: And yes, yesterday was good - did what I could to help Erin and Jason. They have a total room redo, their living room, to do. Should be very nice when they are done. Yes, I do have a TJ's close - well about 6 miles from here. THX on today. I will be out on a walk after I post this. The weather is iffy, but will take the chance anyways. Too many chores pending that I need to do, requiring out and abouts, so best to walk this morning. NICE on your 80's!
Auntie Ann! OK, you gots it! I will bring Lola too so she and Katie can play and let you enjoy your brews in peace. UP SINCE 1AM??????? Oh you so needs me today. I am on my way, like pronto! ~~ Elsa, Lil BIT, kitteh barista

Morning Jane oh yes on the one new thing.... who would have thought that a change to a flat screen wall mount TV would start a whole room redo, but it did. :shock: on yes on Nicholas and that frap. it was funny.... silly kid! OH YES on that produce. I was really taken back by the quality of everything. Just goes to shoe the difference between local fresh, and a mega grocery chain. THX on today - looking forward here to what the day will bring.

Good morning Michelle Wow, Nicholas looks like a great little helper for his dad He really earned that frap :lol:

Such a sweetie girl when she's down and out.

:lol: :lol: Lola, you have earned yourself quite the reputation :lol: Word of caution; I had a kitty dump a plant on me one day and I decided to leave it till the next morning when I would clean the house...kitty decided it was a new lb!! She really showed me! :lol: :roll:
Have a great day Michelle and I hope the weather cooperates for you

Hi everyone. Good Sunday for everybody? Are you all glued to the TV, watching football? I am, to a point.... ;-) I spent the morning down at the shore near the house. It was cold and wet and gray and dreary after an early morning spell with the rains. I was glad I made the trek. The salmon run has started here, for our own little creek: Lund's Gulch. I spent a good couple of hours just watching these guys navigate our tiny little creek. I figure that this kind of thing isn't seen everyday. The laundry and the cleaning and the bills can all wait. So much better than being tied to the washing machine. :lol:

Hi Kim I agree! Nicholas worked hard, the frap was well deserved! He thought so too. :lol: LOL on Lola and that reputation - that she has! Well deserved too. :roll: oh too funny on your pile of dirt becoming the new LB. Well, I had thought of that too, so the dirt pile was the first thing cleaned up. I have no doubt one of the kitties here would have thought: "oh look! how nice of mom - a dirt LB!" :lol: :lol: THX on today - weatehr is so so, but the rains have stopped, so all is well. and we made it out - even better! :thumbup
Auntie Kim! You are so welcomes. I can come tomorrow too, if you want. SWEET! ~~ Elsa, Lil BIT, kitteh barista

Morning Carla oh yes on Nicholas and that frap. We had a good laugh over that one. :shock: :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol: That produce place was awesome!

Hi Liz Affirmative! only ONE hand-print! :lol: :lol: and GO KID! That whole day was an adventure. He was trying so hard to be a good boy, but boys are boys and every now and then we'd see the wheels turning: "maybe I could just touch it real gentle like... maybe they won't notice... maybe on the hand...." :lol:
