Oh - one more thing - I think I just lost my WP blog - second time in one month
…I think that was the last straw - I am going ‘pro’ next year. Just have to find a good, reliable host…

Congratulations!! I also voted for ya in both categories. I live in Northeast Ohio and this very cold weather has increased my coffee drinking (well cappucino drinking….I’m a wimp when it comes to coffee). Since you can’t get to Ohio easily I would be willing to just take a Starbucks gift card. ;O) On a side note I wondered if you got the Calvin & Hobbes comics that I emailed you. They had me laughing so hard my hubby thought I was losing my mind or something.

YEAH!!!!!!! …but I already knew that you were the one to have a mocha latte with. BTW, I found that Starbucks we were looking for by the park the other day. It has been over there for about two or three weeks. Next time I am taking you up on that coffee…

[…] Anyway… I mention this to let you know that my appreciation for the gift from God known as coffee goes far beyond any chocolate-enhanced accolades I recently received. […]
