But First, Coffee

Hell hath no fury like a woman without her coffee!

A couple months ago, I posted on my social media sites about my current coffee choice, the pros and cons, and a plea for suggestions to my peeps about what to do. The issue: holy tummy pain! I had been using Folgers Breakfast Blend for what seems like forever in my caffeinated career. Suddenly, the taste turned bitter, the aftermath was severe stomach pain after the first sip, this was heartbreaking! If anyone knows me well, they know I NEED coffee like a bum needs cardboard. Without it, adulting will not happen...well, it may happen, but not well!

A couple suggestions came and I decided to try a few! First, I tried Starbucks Blonde: Mellow and Soft. Since the name describes this as mellow and soft, I was open minded. I didn't want to try their breakfast blend since I wanted something completely new.
My snowman cup was a secret Santa gift and I use it year round!

 I really did like this so much better than the Folgers! No pain, smooth taste but could be a little bitter since it is darker than the breakfast blend I am used to. I stuck with this for a little while but it is NEVER in stock at my neighborhood stores so I needed to test another out for a back-up!

That is where McCafe Breakfast Blend filled the gap! I just started using this stuff in the past week and I love it! It is a smaller bag than the Starbucks coffee, but it is also cheaper. Hence the saying, you get what you pay for. In this instance, the size is what I sacrificed. But, I do find this to be a lot lighter in taste, I will have to get used to not using as much creamer!

Thank you for the suggestions! If you have any coffee obsessions you want to share, I'd love to try it! After all, coffee helps get things done until wine jumps in and finishes the job!

Macaroons and Memories

We didn't know we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun In the last two weeks, I've gone back to my hometown for appointments and family events. It is always interesting going back. When I'm at home in O-town, I always feel like I'm missing "back home" and want to return. Then I return and am reminded why we left; there is nothing wrong with where I am from, I just love where I am going! Centennial Park in Downtown Fort Myers My sister arranged with her photographer friend to have some family photos taken. My mom has been dying for them so we appeased her. After all, you never know when you'll have the chance again! We color-coordinated our crazy bunch and they will hopefully be great! The photog sent over some sneak peeks after and they look great so we are looking forward to seeing the rest! My sister and I My mama and her girls Since we live in the theme park capital of the world, we have annual passes to most of the par...

I'm Made of Glitter, Water, and Anxiety

So over the last few years I have struggled with admitting and treating my own personal demon of anxiety. I have many friends who have a similar struggle and agree that prior to becoming it's prey, we thought anxiety was a total joke. I mean, when I would witness an anxiety attack I would just think, 'come on, pull it together sister!'. But now that I tend to deal with it on the daily, it is a very real monster. To have your own brain betray you as such is a difficult thing to grasp. Going from a perfectly rational person to trying to prevent anything and everything that could possibly happen, you look at yourself and think 'jeez! What a nutcase!'. Treating my anxiety wasn't an easy task, especially since I began treating mine at the end of a relationship and while being completely alone. It was a daily struggle and I really didn't feel like anyone would understand without being judgemental. I also used substances as my release, we all know I love my wine....

Onto the Next One

I have posted before about my career and what happened that curbed my journey in nursing school. It has taken a long time, alot of research, and a good amount of courage and support to get my heart and mind ready to return as a student. Thankfully, I have the best motivation and I know I can definitely do it now. The first half of this year handed me my pride and visions of where I swore I thought I'd be at this point in life. Perhaps that is why it has taken me so long to feel prepared to return and accomplish what I set out to do 5 years ago. I am looking forward to continuing on but I am really going to have to swallow my pride and go back to square one. I have been in the medical field for nearly 10 years, I have done the CNA thing in the hospital, I have seen babies born, held the hand of a mom-to-be who lost her baby, I have talked to someone who was delivered news of a terminal illness, I have seen a lot. This is the pride I'll need to "suck" up as soon as I ...
