COFFEE TALK

Happy Monday sweet friends. I wish we could skip everything else this Monday and I could sit down and have a cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate with you all. I saw this on sweet Jenn's blog last week and thought it would be a fun way to chit chat about some stuff on my mind. Pull up a cozy spot, grab a sweet concoction and bevi and Let’s do some Coffee Talk!!

Litter. I do not like litter. Did you know if you litter on the road in the state of Indiana, it's a $500 fine? But I admit sometimes I am wasteful. Thank goodness this was on sale for $2.49 cause Edy's ice cream can be expensive. My eyes about popped out of my head when I saw their Pumpkin Latte flavor. That night we had a later house showing so a bowl of ice cream with some walnuts thrown in it was my dinner, only to throw the rest out. NOT because I didn't love it but because no one else did and I knew I'd eat it all. 

Megyn Kelly. I don't talk bad about others too often but Megyn is so full of herself.  I do not like her and she took away the flow of the Today Show by kicking out Today's Take 3rd hour with Al Roker and crew. What was the Today Show thinking? Ratings are down 30%! Kelly made a joke about a super fan’s sexual orientation, which led actress Debra Messing to post on Instagram that she was “dismayed” by Kelly’s remarks and regretted going on her show. Two days later, Kelly offended Jane Fonda with an off-putting question about her refusal to talk about plastic surgery. (“We really want to talk about that right now?” Fonda huffed, seated next to her co-star Robert Redford.) and she cut off Tom Brokow; this just within her first two weeks on the air. No, No, NO, Please bring back Today's Take NBC, please!

Sweets or Alcohol? If you had to to pick your calorie consumption from sweets or alcohol, which would you chose? Sweets, for me, every time. My friend Suzy wrote a great post and why she chose to stop drinking. I can stop drinking but I can't stop sweets consumption! I get a tad bit of a taste every day and it brings me joy, more time on the stepper, buy JOY! We need joy in our lives! If you want a Reese's Mini Peanut Butter cup, have one or two, just not 10! I'm just saying don't deprive yourself! 

I will still take a little Champs with my chocolate and yeah Bailey's and Coffee with my Christmas Cookie, lol! 

Amazon Key. Here is how Amazon Describes it: As a Prime member, get your Amazon packages securely delivered just inside your front door. Plus, grant access to the people you trust, like your family, friends, dog walker, or house cleaner – no more leaving a key under the mat.

On delivery day, you’ll receive a notification in the morning with a 4-hour delivery window for when the delivery driver will arrive at your home. Right before the driver arrives at your door, you will receive an “Arriving Now” notification and you can optionally watch the delivery happening live. The driver will knock first and then request to unlock your door with their Amazon handheld scanner. Amazon verifies that the package belongs to the address and the driver is near the door, turns on Amazon Cloud Cam and unlocks your door. No special codes or keys are needed.

 Not sure how I feel about this? What are your thoughts?

Christmas Shopping/Stocking Stuffers. So, where are you on the Holiday shopping front? I am not as far along as I usually am and we are scaling back this year but let me tell ya, I LOVE to shop for others, especially at Christmas. Mr. Nine and I have always kept our money separate and we have this deal for our nuclear family where I buy all the stocking stuffers for the boys and he buys most of the "regular" gifts. I have so much fun. I have a box for each son that fulls with stocking stuffers over the next couple months and I usually have more than the stocking holds so it all gets put in an extra gift bag. And I do a "gift" bag full of little trinkets for my mom too. Here are some guy and gal stocking stuffers that I love.

Isn't this "shoe" keychain just adorable!

I will admit however, lately it's been hit or miss in the clothing department but I feel a resurge coming on at Target for the holiday's especially with the Hearth Line coming from Chip and Jo Jo.

Banana Clips. Who remembers these? These long banana shaped clips took my BIG 80's hair into a whole new realm in the 90's!! I sported this look at least 4 out of 7 days a week! And guess what? They still make them so take that stocking stuffer list for the ladies up a notch and bring back the banana clip trend, lol!
