Ohhh, I got my coffee of the month shipment yesterday and I am sitting here drinking my second cup of a new brand (review to follow) I am in heaven!

I love the half hour to hour of 'quiet time' I (usually) get to myself in the mornings. This special times seems to diminish during the Spring and Summer because the Sun is blinding everyone by 6 am and so they're up.

While I am not a fan of Winter, I do love the darkness in the morning. It's quiet. Me, my coffee and my computer - blissful! It's kind of sad though, my computer has taken place of books - I used to love to read. If I had a book that really caught my interest, I could read in it a day or two. These days I am glued to the computer and haven't read a good book in very long time. Shame on me, I need to get back to that.

If you ever go on a Walt Disney World vacation, make sure you take some time to try an 'extra' activity. This time around we may give those adams golf drivers a try at Disney's Oak Trail Golf Course - for the first time!

There are so many things to do in the Disney Resorts area so CJ and I are trying to narrow it down to about 3 tings we really want to do.

Trying out a new application, http://ping.fm
I'm loving this whole social networking job! I have been spending some time today setting up ways to post to several networks at once using my phone. I have a Blackberry and I think I would DIE without it!
I love everything about my phone, even the Bluetooth headset I have for it, which I will admit, took some getting used to.

My husband works for T-Mobile so I am always bugging him about phones, which one to get next, LOL - When it's time for a new phone again however, I think I'll keep within the Blackberry circle!

Here's a picture of my baby, I took this when I first got it:

I can do so many things with this phone, even post on my blogs!

This is strange to me - I recently found out my mother in law had a mammogram which showed a rather large lesion on one breast. She is scheduled to have an MRI to look more closely at this lesion. I of course, hope that it winds up being nothing significant.

What is strange is that in the days leading up to hearing this news, I had been seeing an awful lot of commercials about breast cancer and the 3 day walk for breast cancer which will be held in Philadelphia. Was it an odd 'sign' or just coincidence?

This week, I've been seeing a lot of commercials about Mesothelioma - great Goddess I hope this is all just coincidence.

I think I've been drinking coffee for so long - and drinking so much of it, that I don't feel any effects of the caffeine anymore. I mean, I can literally drink a pot of coffee and fall asleep. Anyone else like this?

I ask because since I've been looking at different products to aid in weight loss, I came across one product called Apidexin and one of the leading ingredients in it is DiCaffeine Malate, which in a nutshell, is caffeine is combined with malic acid.

The site goes on to say:

It’s well known that caffeine is one of the most effective ingredients out there.

Well, if that's true, I guess I'm screwed.

This will not be a review of Orovo detox but instead I am reaching out to my readers for opinions and testimonies regarding this product.

Has anyone used it? It's supposed to be a combination of the original Orovo 10 Super Foods formula with the addition of 21 super detoxifying agents. I am considering taking this in addition to eating healthy and exercising. I've already began the healthier eating and exercising but I don't feel like I am getting anywhere and it's frustrating!

Anyone?

I think I found the baby shower gift I am going to go with. I found these gorgeous silver baby gifts - this is perfect!

Something I can have engraved, like this bracelet, makes the gift personal. It's also something that the parents can hand down to the baby when the baby is older.

Now, if the baby turns out to be a boy, maybe the mom can just keep the gift? What do you think?

I have 3 'Witchy' signs around the house. Merry Meet is hanging above one doorway and Blessed Be is above another doorway. Guess where CJ hung Harm None


Yep, above the stove in the kitchen! Oh, hahaha, isn't he just so funny! I'm surprised he didn't invest in cool digital signage just to make more of an entertaining production out of making fun of my kitchen antics.

No, I'm not the best cook in the world, but I have never had anyone fall ill from my cooking either!

If you are on the hunt for baby furniture, check out some of the sets made by Newport Cottages - they have some gorgeous sets!

They specialize in creating benchmade furniture that surely is unique in style and design. They do not sell directly to the public but you can find many of their creations on babybox.com

CJ and I are still planning on having one more baby, (yay) and I am definitely considering a beautiful designer crib this time. Something like this can make a memorable heirloom.

I am sooo excited! CJ and I have started a 'lifestyle' change of healthy eating and exercise. We started this on Jan. 1st and are still going strong! I have already lost weight, according to the scale and I fit better in my clothes. Not a size down yet but I WILL get there!

Sex is better - hey TMI? Well, it's true SEX IS BETTER! I have already felt brave enough to check out some sexy lingerie sites because I'm feeling more comfortable in my own skin. I love the site flirtylingerie.com - they have everything there, even stuff for guys! Great selection. They do have a plus size section too but I am hoping I won't have to purchase form thayt section. Maybe in about a month I'll be down a size!

Okay - I must have a SERIOUS coffee addiction because I go through the specialty coffee I get every month is about 2 weeks! CJ went grocery shopping on Wednesday and had to buy a big can of Folgers for me because I was out of coffee! LOL

I think I drink at LEAST a pot a day - who else?

Not only have I taken a liking to doing reviews on a few blogs and writing up How to's on eHow, I have also started writing articles. My very first article was all about wedding favors - you can read that if you's like: Affordable Wedding Favors

It's really been a fun process. I was impressed to have gotten a few comments on my first article! Certainly made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside =) I am slowly on my way to being able to call myself a freelancer!

I must say, I really really love SandboxCouture.com for hip and trendy baby clothes. Now, usually I shop at places like Kohls and Target for my kids' clothing but once in a while I do like to splurge, whether for my own kids or someone else's.

Recently I have been looking for affordable baby gifts for an upcoming baby shower I will be attending. They actually have different sections for these kinds of baby gifts - under $25, under$50, under $100, etc... which makes shopping easy!

I'm thinking of getting either some cute clothing or blankets or maybe I will go the jewelry route. Not sure yet.

Finally - I have finally had the chance to try both of these coffees! I must say, I was not impressed with either.

The Indonesian Java Semeru has a medium to heavy body with a hint of sweet chocolate flavor. When I say hint, I mean it, I could barely taste it.

The El Salvador Bourbon Los Andes was much just a tad bitter for my liking. I don't like bitter at all.

All in all, I waited longer than I should have for this coffee delivery and man, I am disappointed!

I've been all over a bunch of shower and wedding sites and forums over the last month or so, since I've agreed to help my very very good friend plan her wedding.

I have to say, this favor is the most unique of all the wedding favors I have come across thus far! Check this out; it's an Individual Cake Roll Towel Wedding Favor and it's actually washcloths and towels cleverly disguised as dessert!

It looks so yummy - and convincing!

The coffee I get monthly cam late in December. Grrrrrrr. I have yet to try both flavors. I plan on rectifying that tomorrow. I owe you all a coffee review =)

I must say, receiving tow different flavored coffees every month is one of the best gifts I have gotten! Oh, how I am addicted to coffee!

I know, I can't believe it myself but Valentine's day is the next 'holiday' and it will be here before we know it! Cj and I don't usually get each other anything for Valentine's Day because we are the type of couple that gives gifts 'just because' throughout the year.

However, my daughter, Olivia, who will be 6 soon, loves Valentine's Day. I think it has to do with the fact that she is still in the lala land of Disney Princesses, complete with their Prince Charmings. I thought I would get her something this Valentine's Day. My mom always did and still does, to this day, get me a cad and sometimes a little trinket, every year for Valentine's Day. It doesn't have to be a show of romanitcal love you know!

Olivia loves jewelry and I found really pretty charm bracelets at lusterforever.com

I love helping friends and as some of you know, I've been helping a friend plan a wedding. Begrudgingly at first, yes, I admit - but now I'm loving it. I've even found myself nosing around OneWed's Wedding Chat forum for some ideas.

I found out about the most beautiful mens wedding bands and so I looked further into the styles offered on the Titanium-Jewelry website.

The one I have pictured here is, I think, my favorite! Not plain but not too fancy. Perfect for any guy.

I have noticed several of my regular readers are very creative. I've seen so many Hobby blog authors pass through here and some of the artwork is amazing!

I found myself wandering around the internet, looking at all kinds of artwork, from basic Stencil drawings to creative Printmaking art. I probed through one site, Ruby Lane and was very impressed with so many pieces!

I have never been very artistic, even being a Libra (I thought Libras were supposed to be good with art?!) Well, artistic printmaking - where an artist etches their designs on a plate or surface, seems like an easy process to learn, especially with the right tools. Maybe even I could give it a whirl?

I'd love to hear from my artistic friends - have you done any etching? If so, I'd LOVE to see your work!
