I do wish I could travel more often. I've never been outside to U.S., unfortunately. I want to visit Europe!
I'm feeling great because I got all my homework for the spring break done today. I have six full days to do nothing! Except I have to make brownies for a bake sale and I should sew a bit. :p
And I hope you all are fairing well!
I could go for a cup of Earl Grey tea right about now. *rushes off to go make some*
Hello ladies. I am glad all the misses are here with coffee, tea, shortbread and doughnuts. I decided to take a cue from Opti and post a kitty pic myself.

Welcome back Niamh. Mmm, earl grey tea is pretty good, seems like a good idea. :)
I was glad to read that I am not the only one with a penchant for Tim Horton's doughnuts, what is your favorite pastry there, Niamh?
As for in the mood for tea -- after supper tonight, I made a lovely pot of blueberry tea in my brown betty teapot, had one wee cup, but my hubby drank the whole thing! But no matter, I am brewing some coffee, the perfect before bed beverage (lolol!) --- hey, say that three times fast, I dare ya! :lol:
Opti, your pix were sweet, especially the kitty.
And Kathy, your kitty is very adorable, too. Makes me wish to heck that I was not allergic to cats. I am allergic to a lot of animals, sadly, but luckily not to dogs **sigh of immense relief**
well you can all eat the dounuts and Ill curl up with a nice big stac of books and a magical everfilling cup of tea....:D
Thats why we got the cats! Too clear out this room!Quote:

I've had worse dares than that!
Uuuh, opti? Why do we want to clear out this room? Oh wait, I know! :idea: Having all the coffee, tea, cocoa and assorted pastries all to ourselves! Muwahaha....Quote:

It's not!:( Can we see your cats too then?Quote:

And since I am indulging in possibly the best pot of java I have made yet, please join me in a mug! **passes coffeepot around**
**Kiz_paws is rather pleased that the dishes always are self-washing in this cool little hidey-place of the girls** :p

Well, ok. Let it not be said I missed an opportunity to parade pics of my kids, er... pets around. ;) I know I have posted these before, but here we go.Quote:

Dillon. Do you ladies know how expensive it is to insure a dog? They insist on measuring his age in people years, not dog years and consider him a "teenage driver". :p

murray is a cutie Kathy!
Love your dog! You must be very lucky that he can drive!:lol:
We dont have any pets at home. We use to have a goldfish for a few years but he died and we had an Albino Budge for a few years. My dad and myself rescued him from a vicious magpie. But Alas Snowy perished a few days after my Grandma died. :(
YAY KIZ and NIAMH!! I'm glad there are others who share my affection for Tim Hortons!! (I'll have a large Café Mocha and a chocolate croissant please!!)
Love your cats, Kathy. Here are mine, and my horse as well.

Tobasco
Ooh sorry their so dark.
Thanks, girls for sharing those delightful pix of your beloved pets (I so love animals!!). I did have to smile for that dog in the driver's seat, lol!
Below is a photo of the day that I thought that Pepper would look dashing in a baby bonnet, lol. I am still amazed that she allowed me the time to do this. Note that the mat she is standing on is her kitchen mat. HER mat. When she is in the kitchen, instead of being underfoot (which dogs have a tendency to be when one is preparing food), we have trained her to remain on her mat. Not without a price, mind you, lol. I have to give her an occasional carrot coin to reward the 'good girl on the matty' as I say to her.
Sorry, I am rambling -- here is the photo:

Very nice pics. The kitties are so sweet looking and Tobasco is gorgeous. When I was little I lived on a farm, and my sister had an Appaloosa. I think horses are wonderful, but I confess I still harbor a fear of them. :blush:
Pepper of course is extremely cute, and very fetching in her bonnet. She reminds me of a little guy I had called Nicky.
Well, I should call it a night, feeling kind of tired and like I am coming down with something. :yawnb: G'night.
Vin smiles at Madhuri "Yes thankyou"
Sorry I stood at the doorway for too long...So I heard Cofee was very good here..and so are you people...
;)
*Sits off in the corner sulking as she doesnt have any pets and is feeling highly jealous. but wonders if her boyfriend would count!*
yeahhhh baby!!!!!!!!Quote:

no not getting too girly for me, getting to kitty for me. :-)
******************************************
Bit of normality, nymphs and nibbles(Biscuits) with coffee!
Really? Odd, it was ok when you posted a pic of a cat. So, pictures of other people's beloved pets are now deemed offensive?Quote:

NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Kathy you cant leave:bawling: ! only Joking about the cats!
So you coming back in?:)
*Holds out a magical steaming mug of hot liquid that can be anything Kathy desires it to be.(Drinkwise only)*
No, Niamh I know that. I wasn't referring to you dear. I meant that I had caused opti offense by posting pictures of my well loved pets. Sorry, but that is how her statement seemed to me.
Also, sorry, but I get very defensive, I have a headache and I feel pretty PO'd right now. (and unreasonable too, yes I feel unreasonable too.)
*edit* thanks for the mug, I will take it in a to go cup until I feel more human. :)
We all have our bad days Kathy. I'm i've had a pritty nasty day today. Couldnt go to work because i had to make friends with the loo.:lol:Quote:

OMG, Niamh, you are toooooo funny! But I do hope that you are doing better, too!Quote:

As for opti being too 'kitty-ed out', I propose that we post something that might appeal to her... hmmm, what do you suppose.....
How about this cool scorpian ring that I want to buy from a local silversmith? Nice, eh?
http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s..._paws/ring.jpg
Now come back Kathy and Opti and enjoy this very nice coffee that I have made, it has a hint of toffee flavoring and is oh-so-smoooooooth!! You will love it! :)
My apologies. I have a bad habit of taking things too personally and getting defensive. That is a very cool ring!Quote:

Awwwww, don't worry about that, me of all people, can surely understand the depth of sensitivity when it comes to our little pets.... we actually DO think of them as kids, lol (I laughed at your saying that, because I have to check myself, too!!)
So yes indeed, do have another spot of this delightful toffee-coffee, and I am glad that you liked that silver ring -- I really really want it. BAD!!! :)
Thanks Kathy...By the way guys..I have to go again..but I'll be back next week...so Cofee should wait I suppose...
Kiz that is a really nice ring. I understand why you want it so much.

I'm sorry if I offended you. That wasn't my intention. I was just being....me!
Tofee flavoured tea? Whatever next! Im up for it!Quote:

Beautiful ring!
i made friendship bracelets for all my coffee girlfriends here :)
http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p..._bracelets.gif
LoL, i have never had toffee tasting tea, but it sounds like a grand idea. Opti, hows about you and I marketing said beverage and then swimming in our bathtubs of money at the grand success of this endeavor? :lol:
And that ring?? OMG, i love it soooo much, but I am trying to negotiate having it made for a girl's hand. The smallest they are going to make the band size is size man's 9. A tad too big for my paws, if I do say so.... grr!
Glad you like the ring, too, Niamh and drama ! It truly is something completely different!
And drama, LOVE those friendship bracelets!! Thanx ever so much! **Kiz wonders if she would be so bold as to help herself to that blue one... **
*happily gives kiz the blue one over tea and cake* :D
I would definetly be your number one toffee tea customer kiz and opti! Lookign forward to seeing it on the shelves.
