But it IS good, and it was a nice break from the usual coffee, and had quite a bit more antioxidants and vitamin C than the coffee, for sure. It also had lots less caffeine, which probably contributed to my migraine later on. 😦
What did YOU drink this morning?
Thank you to the people who found me today, for some mystery reason, via Google while searching for “Lisa Place”. It’s beyond me why I see this all the time. It’s almost as if there is another “Lisa Place” that is popular enough for people all over Europe want to search for it. What is up with that?
Also, some russian person got a link to my blog in their email, and clicked on the link. Makes me wonder what is so interesting on my main page that people will email it somewhere. But thanks! 🙂
And someone who’d dumped a link to my blog into their trash (huh?) clicked on the link. Is it trash or not? YOU decide. 🙂
I woke up this morning not feeling my strawberry margaritas quite enough to cover up whatever emotional overload was hitting me. I blame hormones. Hormones suck, really. To counteract them, I put on my iPod, turned up only the happy songs, skipped over the bad ones, and was fine in no time.
Ever see those movies where people overload on stimuli in their world and everything is solved by putting on headphones and piping music into their ears? Well, that is me, too. Why does this work so well? I suppose it is an immediate distraction. Also, the music we download onto our iPods normally has some sort of meaning associated with them.
I have quiet, reflective songs, romantic songs, traveling music, sad stuff, and some upbeat music. What I play depends a lot on my mood. Today, it was the traveling music and the upbeat stuff; not that I was going to be traveling anywhere.
For example:
N’Sync – Space Cowboy (I’m sorry. I just like this song) 🙂
Rascal Flatts – Shine On
Anything from Lifehouse’s original CD
Most of Josh Kelly’s “For the Ride Home“
3 Doors Down, “Kryptonite“
Overall, I think the $79 I paid for my Shuffle was very inexpensive for the duty it performs. 🙂
The first “person” to break in the new carpet was my golden retriever, who decided to barf on it. It was not too bad, only affecting two stairs. The carpet properly repelled the moisture, and then, guess what else? It cleaned up!
Golden beige is a much better carpet for pets, by the way. Had the vomit not cleaned up, it would have blended right in.
Oh, and by the way, between vacuumings, you cannot see any fur. I’M sayin the fur is not there, but hey, who am I? 🙂
The good news is that I am on holiday until next Thursday morning. YAY! 
The Christmas shopping is finally done, as well, as of 8:30 last night. Nothing like waiting till the last minute. It’s the first year I’ve done that, so what the heck.
School is out for two weeks, and I’m pretty sure that includes all the after-school activities, as well.
Tuesday, my little kid went horse back riding. This is the second time this month we’ve been at the riding stable, and I love taking the tour of the stable.
Anyway, hope you’re ready for the holidays. (It’s almost over!) hehe

Here’s an interesting picture depicting our ride to the Harley factory over the summer. At the bottom, you’ll see why riding directly to Topeka was not the best plan. Ok, it wasn’t really a plan. Someone took a wrong turn somewhere along the way, is all. Just 100 miles out of the way, it was. 🙂
