Havoc.
They kick you in your gut, and make you feel like drippy faucet...
and they make you MOODY and easily depressed.
So...
I plead the period.
And I'm doing fine.
REALLY.
I'm fine.

I even brewed some coffee today!! FRIENDSHIP COFFEE for a very dear friend, who I have only been in the same state with once, for a total of three days. (or was it four?) At any rate, we are pretty much inseperable now, even if we are only attached at the phone line.
Seriously.
We are ATTACHED.
For about 2 hours a day.
And THAT's on a slow day.
Her name is Christi.
Most people on line know her as latte_grande.
Hence,
the COFFEE.
Which is also usually what I call her.
So I decided, since she is also the kind of friend who sends you half of a salt and pepper shaker set (keeping the other half with her, of course) and putting dirt with it, so that you can have a bit of her with you... (and she has a shaker with some dirt of mine too) I decided to brew her a very special pot of coffee.
I also added in some thrifted pearls and jewelry later...
At any rate, I brewed the pot of friendship coffee by writing out on the computer, all the things that I love about Christi and our friendship. I printed it all out on card stock, each thing on it's own line. Then I cut the paper and crumpled each piece of the list and put it into the coffee pot.
I'm going to keep a list on line, of other things that make me happy to have her as a friend, and eventually, I'll send her a fresh brew, to help her keep her pot of friendship coffee warm and fresh. If you have a friend who would like a pot of friendship coffee, you should make one!! If you blog about it, please let me know, and link to me here!! Thanks!!
I've been working on some things to go into my etsy shop... and I want to give away a set of my newest addition!!
I also listed some calendar tags that I LOVE...
