What is in your cup? - Page 1377

Thanks, ProfCrash. I'm looking forward to seeing some photos of your little guy.

Betty, I'm sorry to hear that your mom will need full-time help from now on. It is hard to have to accept that from the kids, is what my mom says now. So far, they are fine, but more and more they need some help from us, just for daily errands and such - which is what I am off to do now.

I hope you have a great time on your beach vacation.

ProfCrash · 07-20-2012, 04:12 PM

He is napping well today. I guess trying to figure out the patterns of a three week old is just silly. He is sleeping close to four hours a couple of stretches at night so I am doing well today. And he went down for his second nap 30 minutes ago.

ProfCrash · 07-20-2012, 04:16 PM

Betty I am glad you have found a workable rythem. I can only imagine how hard it is to have to care for a parent. (hugs) you are good people.

Kissing sleeping baby in your arms is simply awesome.

Stitchawl · 07-20-2012, 07:19 PM

Hush, little baby, don't say a word.
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird won't sing,
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass
And if that looking glass gets broke,
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat
And if that billy goat won't pull,
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull
And if that cart and bull fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town

Good morning, everyone! Happy Weekend! Ahmad's "English Breakfast" tea in my cup, scrambled eggs and bacon on my plate, and a smile on my face. Nice way to start a weekend!

I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountains in the skies.
Achin' with the feelin' of the freedom of an eagle when she flies.
Turnin' on the world the way she smiled upon my soul as I lay dying.
Healin' as the colours in the sunshine and the shadows of her eyes.

Wakin' in the mornin' to the feelin' of her fingers on my skin.
Wipin' out the traces of the people and the places that I've been.
Teachin' me that yesterday was something that I never thought of trying.
Talkin' of tomorrow and the money, love and time we had to spend.

Lovin' her was easier than anything I'll ever do again.

Good morning, all. It's just one of those lazy mornings.... Peaceful. I've got a cup full of "Royal Breakfast" tea thanks to the East India Company, and a bowl of muesli with yogurt to start the day. Lots of things to do today too... Gathering gear and packing for the trip. Perhaps I'll even wash and wax the bike. No internet where we're going so I don't need to pack the computer, but I want to be sure my e-reader is fully charged... though I can recharge both it and my iPhone off the bike's battery if I need to. I installed a USB port connected to the battery for just such trips.

Have fun on your explorations, Stitchawl.

Enjoying a frozen chocolate covered banana and thinking about making some dinner.

Or maybe make some tomato soup to put in my cup while I finish my book.

@Stitchy, you keep making me remember when I was young with the song links you post..Kris had it all, brains, beauty and he could sing. What a man!

Lemon and ginger in my cup. It's a lovely day here and I seem to be recovering from the dreaded lurgy at last, even went for a walk this morning.

Thanks, Dreams. It's my favorite type of vacation... All we know for sure is the area that we will ride in, and the roads we hope to take. We know it's mountains, rivers, and lakes, hardly populated, and often no cell phone coverage.

I add to that the fact that he could even act pretty well! I enjoy all the movies he was in.

I'm gonna go and make myself a mango/strawberry smoothie to beat this afternoon's heat!

Life's a beach.

It is SO peaceful here. Water in my cup.

Good Afternoon, all!

'tis a lovely photo. Hope you're having fun...and that it is cooler there then it is here.

Blackberry Sage tea in the mug. Trying to kick the morning coffee habit that has crept back up on me...

(I apologize for the lateness, but as I have not been here for a while - congrats, ProfCrash! Best wishes to you and the wee one!)

dreams · 07-22-2012, 01:11 PM

Good Morning!

Betty, that is beautiful and looks to be very peaceful. Enjoy the quiet time.

Coffee in my cup, as I try to get past the fuzzy feeling this morning.

Stitchawl · 07-22-2012, 09:02 PM

On the road again -
Just can't wait to get on the road again.
The life I love is making music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again.

On the road again
Goin' places that I've never been.
Seein' things that I may never see again
And I can't wait to get on the road again.

On the road again -
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends.
Insisting that the world keep turning our way
And our way
is on the road again.

It's almost time! Good morning, everyone! Happy New Week! Drinking "English Breakfast" tea, and packing tea bags for the trip. Munching on some hardrolls as we pack, tossing out more than we put in. Not much room for two people's clothing and toys on a motorcycle for a week long trip, but it's doable. Throw away the joker from the deck of cards... cut the handles off the toothbrushes...

Actually, I took the trunk off the back of the bike and we'll use a larger travel bag made just for long motorcycle touring. We'll have more than enough room for anything we want to take, so it's not as if we'll be suffering too much. Well get it packed up today, make sure of the fastenings to the bike, and we'll be all set for an early morning departure tomorrow morning. I want to be well passed the cities (Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe) before all the rush-hour traffic and big trucks are on the road. Once we're out of the Kansai area (Osaka Plain) the rest of the week will be mountain riding, exploring the Chugoku Mountains and Chibi Highlands. I like that!

Gotta go finish packing!

VydorScope · 07-22-2012, 09:50 PM

In the spirit of soon to be absent Stitchaw, I'll present a song!

Bow, chicka, bow-wow
That's what my baby said
Mow, Mow, Mow
And my heart starts pumpin'
Chicka, chicka, chew-wop
Never gonna stop
Gitchee-gitchee-goo means that I love you

(song starts at 75seconds...this link should jump to that for you, if not you can skip ahead or watch

)

Have a great trip!

@ Stitchawl: have a great trip and safe travelling

@Betty: looks as good as the beach near where I live, we walked there yesterday, it was a lovely sunny day. Still feels strange without a dog, it's nearly a year now. As soon as we get the fences fixed we will be getting a puppy.

Coffee in my cup.
