Shutterbugmama's Journal

I've tried to be quiet; It's impossible.

As in, the pretty stuff, and lots of it, randomly.

I made home made Iced Mocha's today; I'm now addicted.  I'm calling it my "now" drink, because RIGHT NOW (which is where I'm at, like it or not) Im LOVING this thirst quencher.  Right Now, this is what's making me smile.  (And remain somewhat hyper).

Simple directions:

Brew one pot of fresh hot coffee. 

Get one Tall Glass and fill it to the TOP with cubed ice.

Fill about 1/4 off the glass with Sweetened Coffee Creamer of choice (we used Vanilla).

Add Ice Cold Milk until the glass is JUST over 1/2 way full.

Fill to the top with Hot Coffee.

Stir....

Drink up...get addicted with me.

You know, it was nearly 100 degrees here today in Southern California.  I don't know about you, but when I was little, I don't remember April being a "HOT" month...

Anyhoo...pretty things.  Now, and actual.

The Arcade is pretty...PRETTY FLIPPIN FUN!  Man, we had SO much fun yesterday...

I love the race car game.  I ROCK at the race car game, and that could be because I have a geographical advantage being that I live and DRIVE in Los Angeles, Ca.

I wanna bet money on that game...couldnt find a kid who'd shake on it.

(I joke, I joke!!!  Im totally joking about hitting kids up for bets.  However, it DID cross my mind).

The claw machine there is fun, too.  It actually GRABS stuff!  1 in 3 are the odds we figured, and  that's pretty good!

Hmmm...Vegas.

**

Deb sent this to me a while back, and I love it.  It sits here by my desk.  I say it out loud to you all sometimes, as I remember to give out the love that's been given to me, but really I should share it hereWITH YOU...so you "hear" me.

Deep peace of the running wave to you.

Deep peace of the flowing air to you.

Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.

Deep peace of the shining stars to you.

Deep peace of the gentle light to you.

It's a Celtic blessing that I LOVE.  It was given to me; presumably to pass on.

I know that just now, I felt moved to share it. 

***

I believe that when we feel 'moved" to ACT in the name of LOVE, that it should be done.

Never, ever held back.

K, now I feel the need to move on..

***

Did anyone else watch Grey Gardens?

That was a strange show.

The scenery was pretty, as too were the costumes, and Drew Barrymore is always a peach, but...that really was a strange show.

I need to see the original documentary before I fully understand, perhaps. 

Perhaps not Maybe it's just an hour of my life that was strange, and that's all there is to it.

House hunting begins; ahh...what, OH WHAT, to do with Nana????

Anyone want Nana?

Free to good home:

Call:  555-555-5555 for details.

You Haul.

It's 8:11 PM.  I think I'll have a decaf Iced Coffee.

Sweet Dreams, and Deep Peace to you.

From the bottom of my heart,

Elle

Now see, you shouldn't have shared that iced coffee drink recipe because you just made an addict out of me just reading it! And tomorrow, I'll probably make it, drink it and that's the end of that full pot of coffee and that fancy hazelnut creamer in the fridge. I bet I'll be really productive tomorrow. :)
