Loni's Life

Yep, I am guilty of Spoiling this one... from Magic Booster Packs to Chocolate... last night it was pizza and Kit Kats and Pringles... enough to feed the small army that arrived since Ryan, Stewart, and Harrison were in the house last night.   Lots of laughter from the Man Cave (before I left, anyhow).  Entertained by Sudoko One of my favorite pics!   Surprise, he does know how to smile!!!

You wake up from your dreaming  and you don't want to face the day You can't find a reason  to think your world will ever change You can hide beneath the covers Or you can run outside head up high and carry on Life is a roller coaster ride Time Turns the Wheel and Love Collides Faith is believing you can close your eyes and touch the sky. so Shine while you have the chance to shine Laugh even when you want to cry Hold on tight to what you feel inside and ride...

Ok, I'm on a Starbucks email list for promotional offers and had also seen it on FB... Now Very Berry Hibiscus (with whole blackberries) just didn't sound like something I would like.. yes I like blackberries on occasion, but just wasn't sure of it... so I opted for Cool Lime w/real lime... I am sooooo glad that this thing was free... because it was a big time Patooey.. at least for me.. it had a slightly lime flavor with cucumber and mint and some slight sweetening.. net effect.. totally gross.. and I didn't drink any of more of it!  Later, I would discover upon further research that my taste-buds weren't lying to me and that I did indeed pickup lime, cucumber, and mint in that drink... blahh...  and who knows, maybe that green coffee extract just adds to the grossness of it..  I will stick to hot chocolate in the winter; and  Double Chocolaty Chip Frappuccino® Blended Crème in the summer.

This week's pizza and movie night was The Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers (2002)...   Another long film; extended battle scenes; but decent film.   I even refrained from making Star Wars commentary.   I mostly restrained myself during The Black Gate scene.. but  will admit to sending a text to Mama with what was going thru my head at the time... that I didn't start humming the scene was a small miracle... ROFL!
