A Philadelphian's hunt for Red October..
..or not really..it's is my Philadelphia Phillies who are hunting this red October, and I am just ready to root them on.
It is now a crisp new month, with my type of weather. Leaves changing, hooded sweatshirts,cozy dogs to snuggle with, a piping hot cup of coffee and my Phillies in the playoffs. The Philadelphia baseball team has won their division and they are going to try to win the World Series.This morning I have a Phillies tee shirt on and Chase Utley jersey and have got to admit that it's hard to type with my fingers crossed. For that matter, also rough to hold my coffee cup with fingers crossed.I have faith that they will fight a good fight and can't wait to watch tonight's first game.
Go Phillies! Kick some Cardinal butt...!!

Frantic Friday
There aren't enough hours today.
First I am in the office for a few hours. After that, I have to participate in a work project in the part of the city where I work. It is not exactly the shiniest part of the city: in fact the shine there is usually from the bullets that come out of the guns shot there.Then, hoping all goes well while working in the field, I have to return to the office. Somewhere after that, I get sprung. Jim and the girls will have to find me and pick me up with the destination- where else?? "Undisclosed Location".
So meanwhile, I will be choking back some K cup Nantucket blend coffee and breakfast and praying that my new titanium knees will have me walking quickly and keeping out of harms' way in the field. Hopefully, I'll check in to let you know I am still around.**fingers crossed**

A hot grand..........
Just wanted to take the opportunity to thank my loyal readers for checking in with me.
This blog has hit the 1,000 view mark, and I thought I'd never have 100, let alone 1,000 views.
Thanks, folks.
Appreciate it!

The sins of my past life..
..in regard to coffee. I like flavored coffees,or should I say, some of them. My usual go to flavor is butter toffee, but after this morning I think I have reached my saturation point on the flavored Kcups.
Don't get me wrong. I drink "regular" coffee, really- I do. I started with flavored coffees just '"for something different". There for a while I had the dunkin' donuts Kcups, but was a little put off because it was high priced, quite frankly.With DD, you only get 14 cups, and everyone else gives you 18 for about three dollars less. Just ordered new Kcups on line and I am so ready for them: I'd only hope they get here soon!
There is something for the purity of the smell of coffee brewing. They always say when you eat, your eyes and your nose give you the anticipation of a meal. I feel that way about coffee.Back from the time you could walk into an A&P supermarket and smell people grinding their 8 o'clock coffee. Wow! Awesome smell, IMHO*. I really think those early days are what set me up for being a coffee lover later in life.
I'd write a little more, but I think it's time for a fresh Kcup. :-)
*-in my humble opinion.

The week that half-way was...
This week has just been strange. Things are going on and I can only scratch my head and say, "Huh?'.
There is enough drama going on in my work space to choke a mule, which, of course, I need like a hole in the head. Then there is the issue of losing one of Mom's caregivers as of Friday and having to interview people for a replacement.There is poor Zush, who, along with me, just can't take this humidity.It is so sticky outside I have resorted to making my Iced Kcups in the morning because the idea of anything hot is just disgusting to me.
I just read in this morning's Metro how ladies who have four cups of coffee and 80% less depressed than those ladies who don't drink coffee. I chuckled to myself when I read that. I thought sure, and I am one of those who has her Kcups during the day.However, my physician also has me on anti-depressants so I figure the numbers on there study can't be right.
Off to make a fresh Kcup and conquer the world, or at least, finish the week :)

Radio through concrete....
Nothing is worse than trying to listen to a radio, without headphones, in the rear of an office. You are away from any clear reception by a window, you can play with the antenna until the cows come home...Zip! Nothing.....
Enter TUNE IN RADIO, which is a application I downloaded for my IPhone. Well, ok, I'd have to listen with headphones on, but I figure whatever, I'd try it- it cost nothing so why not.Long story short, if it is a station I want to listen to, no dice..It won't scan to this program.
So this morning I have my big radio on, somewhat static-y on a FM station, but hey, it'll do...until co-workers come in and I'll have to go the other "phone" radio, so I can put headphones on.
Not fun being a good neighbor.....
