STARBUCKS CLOSURES

Here is a list.... Sob sob Sigh Sigh.....

Starbucks Store Closures

PRODUCTIVE TO SAY THE LEAST

In the past 22 hrs.  I have done a lot of stuff.  And I'm not talking about a little that seems like a lot, I'm talking about A REAL LOT!  But I'm not complaining, it was all good stuff. 

• Caught up on my Scrap-Book
• Up with Veg and make breakfast
• Printed over 150 pictures!  Which means every picture that was on my computer, now has a place in a pile waiting to find a place in my albums.
• Went shopping with SH to a really cool place and to a great Vegan Lunch, YUM YUM! 
• Walked a 2.2 mile trail with SH and finished up with a yummy coffee beverage
• Stopped at the health food store for Groceries then Target
• Purchased things for Veg's next treasure hunt for my next trip, along with more photo paper for my printer.  Oh, and I found a new pair of running shorts.
• Back home, I had to test my new shorts so I went for a 2 1/2 mile run, which felt great by the way.  The heat finally broke a tad and there was a nice breeze.
• Back home again, to play with Veg, read books, load 2 more CD's on my iPod
• Cook dinner, Eat Dinner, Clean up
• Bake Cupcakes, Eat Cupcakes, Clean Up
• Veg Bed time, update this blog, Visit the Mom's site and answer emails....

Sheewww!  And now it is 11pm and I still haven't showered PEE EWW!!!  Guess I better go do that!

MAKING FOSSILS WITH COFFEE

We decided to pull out the the couch downstairs and tell silly stories before bed.  I don't know why that spot was better then any other in the house, but it did seem to be fun for both of us.  During one of his silly stories he began talking about dead fish that make fossils, and then he explained how he learned a little about fossils on a TV Show he watched with Daddy today.  His version was this:

"A fishy dies and then it lays flat on a rock, the rock becomes a fossil that looks like the fish"  he goes on to say "Poor Fishy"

After a few minutes he wondered what a Fossil Really was and could he see one... I explained a little about them and he said "Mom, some day can you teach me more"  So I came over to the handy dandy computer and typed in "Fossil Crafts"  not expecting to find anything.... OH BUT I DID!!!  Imagine the excitement...  I didn't even care that it was bed time, we just blew off the bed time routine and we made Fossils!  Ours doesn't look as good as the picture above, but we had fun none-the-less.  And what a great way to use old coffee grounds, etc.  (Luckily, hubby had some in his coffee maker from this morning... which made the timing perfect) 

Thanks to the Kidsdomain website and some other information on Fossils via the web, we were able to learn a ton.  Not to mention have a little fun too.  What a great way to end the night...

THANK YOU STARBUCKS

While in Sandestin they had a Starbucks whithin walking distance of our condo.. Didn't think it got any better then that!  But today I found a letter in my mailbox saying "we've reloaded your card with $5 so you can have a drink on us"

Is that Nice or what?
