A Work Horse Not A Show Pony

I'm in the process of giving a couple of bamboo chairs a face lift. Want to see a before photo? I thought you might...

The chairs came from my Aunt who moved out West who got them from my sister who got them from a yard sale maybe? When I pulled off the seat from one of the chairs I saw something that I would like to think is a good omen:

If you knew me as a child you'd know that I used to write my name on everything. And yes, furniture is included in everything. So strange. It even looks like my six-year-old scrawling. There was also a sticker on one of the chairs. It said, "Do Not Move To New Building". Poor chairs. They got left at the old building.

I usually have a project or two on the go, and at least 100 plans and dreams and schemes in my head, waiting in the wings. And lately David has been complaining a lot about it and I don't understand why. I can see complaining about someone who is really lazy. Even lazy people think poorly of lazy people. But I'm working. Working really hard. And when is that a bad thing ever? Anyway. Speaking of working hard, the mudroom makeover is coming slowly but surely. Last night I got a coat of paint on the floor and tonight I did the finish coat. Looks much better than it did. After all that sweaty hard work, what better way to relax than with a blended iced coffee drink with caramel and whipped cream?

Why yes, I have been using my Copco Eco-First Sierra Tumbler. Thanks for asking.

Cup of...

I don't usually like to waste money on trinkety novelty items. But every once in awhile I find something and I can't resist. This usually happens at Chapters and Winners. Funny I should say that because I found a reusable iced drink tumbler at Chapters I wanted but it was overpriced, I wasn't sure how much I'd use it and Dave laughed at them. But then Winners came to the rescue and I found this:

The Copco Eco-First Sierra Tumbler, much more reasonably priced, bigger, and better quality. I got the last one and Dave asked where his was. I originally had visions of homemade blended iced coffee drinks but now am also dreaming of daiquiris, milkshakes, smoothies, iced-teas, and ice-cream floats. Mmmmmmmm.......

Ps. I MAY have been sipping a virgin strawberry daiquiri yesterday as I drove over town. It felt naughty.
