Wowsers, Ma!
You have out done yourself with the images you have found tonight!
Please consider that Hornet Haze photo stolen!
The storm has finally hit up here, and either there is a lull
in the storm, or it has been over-hyped.
Just banked the fire and getting ready to turn in.
Tigermaus wants me to come to bed!
LOL

They named the storm “Quinn”, which is weird because my nephews’ up-and-coming rock band is called “THE QUINS”

Really?
The moment my head hits the pillow
My eyes fly open?
And that's why I'm still sleepy after getting up!
But, all is ok now.
Had my tea and my eyes are open. :)
Hope all of you are bright-eyed!
....and that your work is easy-peasy.
No hassles today, ok?
Have a Not-TOO-Thrilling Thursday!
(((hugs)))

“Really?

“Had my tea and my eyes are open. :)”
Fact, no bull: There is much more caffeine in disgusting tea than there is in coffee.
I now know why you can’t sleep. You drink too much disgusting TEA! Try coffee instead. In addition another fact: Disgusting TEA can create kidney stones!
To: spel_grammer_an_punct_polise
Disgusting coffee tastes bitter. Ack!
I actually probably drink too much diet coke before bedtime. Tea is only for breakfast. Doncha know?

“I actually probably drink too much diet coke before bedtime.”
Diet Coke is LOADED with caffeine!
I drink one cup of coffee per day first thing in the morning. The rest of the day I drink milk and/or juices. Sometimes I mix apple juice or mango juice with milk. They taste like milk shakes. ;-)
To: spel_grammer_an_punct_polise
Ack! Cant do milk. No way, no how...nor mangos or apple juice. :P
