Good Morning LL! ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) (YUM! I Love coffee!), and Happy Easter!
LL! It's is I, Elsa, KBP!, president and CEO of Coffee Cat! Life is GOOD! Coffee is on, Lola and Bug , founders of Paw Prints Pizza, are ready to go! Want pizza? it is MEGA GOOD! They are busy getting ready for.... uh.... I dunno! but there sure is a flurry of activity in the kitchen. :shock: oh yeah! Easter!! No wonder all those pies look like Easter eggs. :shock: so. well. anyways. ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) 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....... and orange drizzle! SWEET!, and perfect for a spring 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!

I hope everyone had a great Caturday. Mine was good, kinda mellow, but kinda busy too. I did get the shopping done, laundry done, and some cleaning. WOOT! productive! The rest of the day was spent in prep work for my son Matt's Birthday BBQ. Hard to believe that he is 27 years old. Where does the time go! I had a helper too for all that slicing and dicing and mixing and stirring. Three guesses as to who, and the first two don't count. Lola thought all that activity in the kitchen deserved some of her attention. She is very good at batting things off the counter and onto the floor. Then it was a game of hockey. Bug was interested until he found out they where mini oranges and blueberries and a few raspberries. Both of them balked at the onion dicing. :lol: :lol: Got the prep work done in time, and even had a few moments to myself before the gang showed up. We had a great time - Birthday boys dinner request: BBQ burgers, dogs, and sausages, corn on the cob, an assortment of salads, deviled eggs, and a Boston Cream Pie for desert. YUMMMMMMMMMM! It was a late night for all of us, but sure was fun. It is always nice to have the family together.

Normalcy in MusketeerVille! :cool: :cool: :cool: The kitties were GOOD kitties yesterday, even Lola. :shock: Well, sorta on Lola.... Lola will always be Lola. :roll: She was one wound up crazy cat yesterday. The runs are always a constant thing here, but wow on yesterday. She flew through the house, careening around corners, sliding on the kitchen floor, flew over furniture, stopping at times to pound on any available glass surface. We had alot of paper bag annihilation too, after I got back from the store. Maybe she's excited to know one of those bags has Kitty fuds in it! :lol: Bug and Elsa were visibly thinking: I SO DO NOT KNOW HER!, just like every Caturday.... She was a good girl though after shopping, and made sure she played in the paper bag like she should. Well sorta good, if one kinda ignores the helping with the food prep stuff. and the helping with the cleaning. and the helping with the present wrapping. That was funny. I get them wrapped and stacked an out for the kid. When I went back there a few minutes later she had already ripped and chewed that pretty paper on the packages. :roll: :roll: :roll: :shock: I give up. :lol: I just put a note on the boxes: "dutifully inspected and approved by Lola". Normalcy in MusketeerVille!

Have a great day everyone! We are having an Easter brunch here this morning, for the family. My middle son has volunteered to cook, his specialty: Eggs Benedict. YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! AND (!!!) I don't have to cook! Even better! :-D :-D :-D :cool: If there is time later, and the weather has improved i may head on out for an out and about for sure, but I think it will be local.

KITTIES! Remember: think BLUE, think GREEN cat_pet_icon
 
Ummm....you forgot to complete my laundry and housework yesterday, so I'm thinking you weren't very productive at all! :lol:

"dutifully inspected and approved by Lola".

Too funny! My kitties like to inspect others' packages, too, but I never thought to put an inspection stamp on it. I'll have to remember that for the next occasion.

Enjoy your brunch. (Woot woot for no cooking!) And happy belated b-day to Matt!

Have a great day, Michelle!

Happy Easter, Michelle, and Happy Birthday, Matt! Lola looked like she was having a wonderful time at Matt's party...what a good girl, helping MamaBean so much!

Have a great day, Michelle!
 
Morning Shelly ~O) ~O) ~O) i know... I did didnlt I on the laundry.... :lol: Lola is such a hoot. Everyone laughed at the inspection tags. I will have to do that again maybe when the next package chew occurs. THX on brunch. I am so elated I don't have to cook it! Though we all tend to help out in the kitchen - more fun that way! :-D I will pass on the Birthday greetings to Matt. THX!

Morning Amy ~O) ~O) ~O) Many thanks, and happy Easter to you too! I will pass on the birthday greetings to Matt, THX! :-D oh yes on Lola - she was the life of the party and was present for all of it. And such a good helper! Bug and Elsa made themselves scarce. :lol: But not Lola. That reminded me of Mannie - he never missed a party or get-together either. :-D
 
Good Morning Michelle ~O) And Happy Easter :-D

Wow on the feast for Matt's birthday! (Happy Birthday to him!!). I sooooo wish I lived closer, and could just coincidentally stop by at these occasions. :lol:
Good job Lola on being such a fantastic helper :-D
We finally have a NICE day here today, so I too am going for an out and about with the droolers. Enjoy your Easter brunch, and woohoo to not having to do the cooking! :-D

Scritches to Bug, Elsa and Lola cat_pet_icon
 
Hi Kim! ~O) ~O) ~O)

Thanks for the visit! I hope all is well with you and Twice. :-D :-D :-D on Matt's feast... wish you could do that! Just pop on it. The more the merrier as they say. :cool: I will tell Lola that you approve of her efforts. She tires so hard. ;-) Enjoy your good weather, and that drooler walk. it does sound very nice. We are trying to get nice here - I so hope that works out. Scritches will be dispensed like pronto!
 
Enjoy your Easter Brunch with family!!

:lol: on the inspection note on the packages. I love how she helped you get the food ready. It sounds like the BBQ was fun. I hope your Easter brunch was fun too. Happy Easter.
 
Hi everyone! I hope you all have had a great Easter. Ours was fun, relaxing, and a great time for all of us. What a nice family oriented day. :cool: Weather here was actually kinda nice. We have sunny skies this afternoon, we reached 63, and I am glad the incoming rains have held off some. We are still looking at a rainy week, with temps dropping back down to the mid 50's. But... today was great! It really was a very nice day here. I went for an early morning walk, just the woods and the 'hood, to try and get the internal engines revved up. It was nice out, chilly, but nice. There were so many flowers in full bloom here now, it is actually quite pretty out. I felt so much more with it once I got home. ;-) Time with the family was fun. Little guy loved the egg hunt, That was a hoot. I'd filled 24 of those plastic Easter eggs with all sorts of stuff, he had a blast trying to find them all. Brunch was great, Anthony cooked the bulk of it. It was really good! I swear he makes the best Eggs Benedict ever! We spent the rest of the time watching the Mariners, and then a golf tourney. It really was a nice laid back afternoon with the troops. YaHOO! Loved the day. Now to sit back some and watch what should be a very nice sunset. I will post the Picassa kink to the photos in tomorrow's condo.

Hi Marje - THX, and Happy Easter to you. I hope you guys had a great holiday. Brunch here was great - a good family time.

Hi Carla - hey, thx on the package note. I thought it was a fun touch, the kid loved it. She is such a fun cat. It's like whenever I get busy doing anything she has to be involved, so yesterday, and this morning, it was helping with the fuds prep. :roll: :lol: Many thx on the BBQ and the brunch, it was crazy busy, but we all had a great time. :-D
 
I am making this short and sweet, Michelle :-D Belated Happy Easter! I was knocked off after writing two longer replies last night and this morning!
Have a wonderful Monday!
 
Morning Jane ~O) ~O) ~O) bummer on the being knocked off! but I can relate - it happened to me last night once too, decided then it was time to just hang it up. HAPPY Belated Easter to you too!
