My husband had gone a whole month of wearing too short of suit pants (because a certain someone had washed and dried them, not realizing that they were made of wool--whoops!) until it dawned on me that they had cuffs. DUH! Now, they look as good as new... well, except for being cuff-less. :-) Anyway, I just stopped by to say "Congrats on being chosen as the Featured Blogger!" That's quite an honor and you deserve it! I always enjoy reading your blogs and receiving your comments.

I've had cups of regular at my home group -- I'm a social drinker -- and that has produced nights where I've gotten a lot done...and seen a beautiful sunrise...before I...finally...col-l-a-p-s-e....zzzzzzzzzz.<br><br><br>Huh? Oh yeah...coffee. We went and saw <i>Cars</i> and one preview in the endless previews -- if you butt gets sore before the movie starts, there's too many previews -- one of the previews had a female character in an office and she said something like, "I've found out how to not sleep!" she says very fast, very cheerful, and very loud, "Each of these patches (pointing to an arm covered in stickers) is equivalent to 12 cups of coffee! I haven't slept in days and I feel great! And there are almost no side effects." She sees a dog and screams, then recovers quickly. "Almost none," she says and smiles.<br><br><br>While I'm not that bad, I will say that if I have a little caffiene (like half a cup) before I go to bed, I will actually sleep better some nights. Of course, that's assuming that my back isn't hurting, and I haven't had a night without pain in a while now. Still...I love my coffee. Give me the coffee and nobody gets hurt. That's my morning motto. Yep...love my coffee. Love it. Mm-hmm. Yeah. <br><br><br>And no, I wasn't hugging that bag of Starbucks Breakfast Blend!

I know, you're probably wondering why you are receiving the details about this... it's just that when someone famous like you reaches out to the desperate masses, the individual peons affected tend to be rather 'clingy' and start to consider themselves 'important'. <br><br><br>As for boredom busters in Peru... hmmm. Well, we could always watch a DVD from our library we've seen before, we could drive around (driving is the highlight, since there's not really anywhere to go), we could eat (of course that involves cooking on my part -no fast food or even prepared foods, ie: corndogs), or sleep. Sometimes, when I am terribly irresponsible (like yesterday), I get caught up on the internet; but not often or else some trauma between my children is sure to take place. The key here is to not get bored! That said, we have had our "survival" days too, thankfully not too many - we can pretty much count on something unexpected to happen here! For example, I got a call last week asking if I could host 3 - 16yo girls from the States for the weekend. Yikes. My dearest is gone, and now I have 7 children for the weekend!! Oh well, makes the time go faster anyway.<br><br><br>So, is this my blog our yours...? I forgot. heheheheheh. Sorry so long, I just got carried away... something peons do I guess.<br><br><br>I hope today was better than yesterday!<br><br>Amyamadanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2355574191261679830.post-32073536232577929002006-07-17T03:50:07.000-05:002006-07-17T03:50:07.000-05:00I love your new graphics, too pretty!

(well I was already there because I had spanish, but I would call whoever was going to bucks that day to bring me a cup! after I drank the one from home in spanish!!! ) our teacher would get so mad at us and even went as far as talking to our moms about us. She didnt wasnt us to get 'adicted'! a little late.... :) my whole family are big coffee drinkers. We started young... haha!

We have decided that saving for a house is a #1 priority this next few years--so no out of state trips. BUT soon enough we will come out that way--and stop on it to say hi. I know what you went through--staying awake that is. I have that problem--but not with coffee as I am like your husband, can't stand the smell or taste. But at times I just lie awake--sometime i go on the comuter--that makes me tired late at night.--Anyway--jsut stopping in to say hi.
