This week I received a large package in the mail.

I always love receiving packages, don't you?

I knew this was my prize package from when I entered that give-away at http://www.whoopsidaisy-tonya.com/ so I had an idea of what I was going to find.

And I wasn NOT disappointed!

My prized included Tully's Coffee, Evergreen Blend.  I also received a cool porcelain eco cup.  The real surprise was a box of  Hottie Biscotti.  She'd chosen a Savvy Sweet Salted Caramel for me.  How did she know I had a thing for salty sweets?

All this was prettily presented in a cool little rectangular basket.

I've been enjoying this delicious prize already!

If you want to know more about the lovely lady who sent all this to me, check out her blog at http://www.whoopsidaisy-tonya.com/

This mug is from Bed, Bath and Beyond and I love it. 

I am slowing aquiring the matching dinnerware set.  I really like orange paisley!  Something about this set just makes me feel all content inside.  I especially like this photo also because it shows a picture of my family in the background.  Even the frame with all the crosses on it is a precious treasure, given to me by a special friend.

So, why am I showing you a picture of my coffee mug anyway?

Well, I've won another give-away!

Yay for me, huh?!

I was commenting on another blog, http://www.whoopsidaisy-tonya.com/, and she was doing a coffee give-away.    I liked the name of her blog and I think that was what first caught my attention.  I wasn't really looking for a give-away at all.  Nevertheless, since I commented on her blog I was entered and I WON!  It is rather fun to win stuff!

So, I will be receiving a package of coffee products soon.  I can't wait!  I don't really know what to expect but I'm sure it will be delightful.  I'll let you know! 

I am a Hypocrite!

So, did you read yesterday's blog? 

Well, I'm a big fat hypocrite. 

Yesterday I took Maria and Cordy to the mall, a tradition we seem to do about once a week.  Our husbands met us at the food court at noon for lunch.  After lunch we all went to pet puppies at the pet store, then the guys left.  Maria and I often go drive around after our mall lunch, visiting until Cordy falls asleep.  We then get fancy coffee for a little treat...great tradition! 

Yesterday, Cordy was really worn out and as we left the mall, it was obvious she was getting very tired.  This picture isn't from yesterday but it gives you the idea...

Well, I needed to run into Walmart for an item so Maria took Cordy out of her car seat and we headed in.  Just as we were making our way through the parking lot with the sleepy little girl, I remembered that I'd just blogged about my irritation with people taking their little kids shopping when they needed to be napping!  I busted myself!

Luckily, Cordelia rarely throws a fit.  She just sagged into her Momma and blinked long slow blinks.  I promise you, we did NOT talk mean to her!  Once we were back in the car, though, we'd gone maybe 2 blocks before she was out!  Poor little girl with the thoughtless Grandma!

Even though I felt guilty, I still enjoyed my cup of flavored coffee.  I went with butterscotch yesterday.  Yum!
