I got home around 5:30pm last night and sat down with my book (Winter Garden by Kristen Hannah). The thunderstorms were rolling in so I figured that it was easier to calm down my 15 pound four legged son while reading instead of while stitching. He is just a hot mess during thunderstorms these days (he's 9) and that doesn't go well with a needle and thread. Anyway, just when the storm's biggest deluge arrived, Hubby walked in the door. It seemed that his 6pm meeting got cancelled at the last minute. So much for my quiet time! At least he cooked dinner even if it was only a Red Barron frozen pizza.
After dinner I pulled out Needle and Thread by LHN since Hubby was around. I managed very little in the way of progression. I got the owl, part of the bed and part of the scissors done before I gave up and gave into a cat nap. By 8pm I was asleep on the couch and by 9pm Hubby woke me up to send me to bed. I guess things finally caught up to me as I slept the whole night through and didn't wake up until the alarm went off at 6am. I even hit the snooze button a few times this morning after it went off.Still sleepy this morning, I thought I should give myself a real wake up. (First of all, I should tell you that I'm not really a coffee person. Don't get me wrong, I love my Starbucks Vanilla Latte or Frauppccino. But, I'm not an every morning, multiple cup during the day coffee drinker.) I dug a Newman's Own Extra Bold Blend K-cup out of our coffee bowl and put it in the Keurig machine. I put a spoonful of sugar in the bottom of the cup and hit BREW. While it was brewing, I fixed myself one of those thin sliced "Everything" bagels from Thomas' and slathered it with Philly cream cheese. Yum, yum! When the coffee was ready I grabbed the Vanilla flavored creamer and poured a healthy dose of it into the coffee. Then I sat down to GMA (Good Morning America for those of you who don't know) and had a nice, quiet and peaceful breakfast. Well, here I am..........HOURS and HOURS later. Wouldn't you know it, I'm still jittery from that coffee this morning! I sure do hope that I will be able to sleep tonight. With the luck I've been having lately I'll be back up on the "up all night" wagon.
Sheesh!
Happy Stitching!

I have a favorite frozen pizza and I'm always thrilled when someone else cooks it for me! I swear it even tastes better!
Needle and Thread is coming along!
Goodness..I can't imagine not drinking about 3 cups of java each day.....guess I'm addicted!
Love your WIP..happy stitching.
Caffeine and I don't get along at all. I accidentally took one of my husband's Excedrin Migraine tablets awhile back, and I thought my heart was going to beat right out of my chest. I was shaky and jittery for hours- it was horrible!
I just finished Winter Garden and I absolutely loved it. It is a little slow starting out but definitely turns into a book you can not put down mid way thru. Enjoy!
I need my morning brew to get going! And another cup in the afternoon doesn't hurt either~
I'm shaking my head (and snickering) at your inability to stomach the breakfast of champions. LOL
Needle and Thread looks great! That fabric is just perfect for it.
I cannot stand coffee, i drink my diet coke. LOL Now, i will have an occasional mocha frap from starbucks (actually had one yesterday to get rid of my migraine) but that's about it on the coffee front. LOL
I love when hubby cooks even if it is a frozen pizza, it just means i didn't have to cook. LOL
I'm going to be writing a post for the animal foster program that I blog for about pets and fireworks, but the information is the same for thunderstorms. You might want to talk to your vet about melatonin. (The blog is http://animalcoalition.wordpress.com/).
Cheers and good luck!
