Lucky caffeinated me!

Looksee what I received yesterday! This is the fabulous package that I received from Janice for the Knitter's Coffeeswap 3! She is so thoughtful! It came at a good time too, I wasn't feeling great and had a hard day and it was a nice surprise to come home to. The package has a Caribou theme! My favorite coffee is from Caribou Coffee which I had while living in MN, but now that I'm in So. CA and in Starbucks land, I miss my Caribou. So she sent some Caribou blend whole beans and beans from her local coffee shop which is so cool. And this is a metal sign that says, Life is too Short for Bad Coffee! I totally agree!She also sent a Pampered Chef coffee scooper and clip to seal your bag, a Caribou mug which is way cool and I love the colors, Caribou bars which look yummy and she even figured out the Weight Watcher points for me, isn't that thoughtful! And on top of that is 2 skeins of this soft yummy yarn called Peppermint Mocha which is so scrumptious and I will have to start a pair of socks for me very soon! I love everything Janice, thank you so much.

I didn't go to work today, just wasn't feeling well. (Paul, look away now!!) Girl troubles, but TOM came this a.m. so I'm already better. And I have to report something I'm proud of. Yesterday I was having a not so good day and was trying to talk myself into going out for lunch. Cuz I wanted to EAT! I was craving fat something fierce and would have killed for a burger and fries. But I brought lunch, I knew it was because I was upset and because of PMS, but I was going to eat out anyway. So I fought myself for about an hour and then I just heated up my lunch and ate at work and I felt like I won one for me! I was able to stop myself from the emotional eating! Yeah me! It's a big deal to me.

We got our new laptop today and I was able to set up our wireless router and I'm in love! I'm sitting on the couch and watching Project Runway and I'm in geek heaven!

Knitter's Coffee Swap Questionnaire

SWAP QUESTIONS

1. Whole bean or ground?
Whole bean. It's great to grind as you go, it's fresher that way.
2. Fully-loaded or decaf?
Fully-loaded! I need my caffeine!
3. Regular or flavored?
I like it all.
4. How do you drink your coffee?
Daily, hot, with sugar free soy or creamer.
5. Favorite coffee ever?
It was from Gavina, and you cannot buy it for personal use or I've had a hard time finding it. It's for restaurants and coffee houses I guess but I loved it's nutty flavor. Close second is Caribou Coffee which we don't have in CA and I miss it!!
6. Are you fussy about your coffee or will any old bean do?
I am not fussy, I really do like it all.

Something sweet, but I'm on Weight Watchers now so I'm watching it. If I have to have a sweet, I love chocolate! Or sour stuff...

I think it'd be great to see what local coffee is like from my pal.
9. Yarn/fiber you love?
I love it all, favorite being wool and sock yarns.

Acrylic, but hate is a harsh word, I only use it for certain projects.
