Why is it that plants look so lush and full of blooms in those tiny black pots at the garden centers, and when they hit my spacious, watered down garden, they flop over like rabbit's ears???

I saw a man at an auction the other day with the most incredible eyelashes I have ever seen. They must've were half an inch long and perfectly curled.... How is it possible I can be jealous of a man's eyelashes? !!!

93 degrees today. Uuuuuugh! It's a good day to pull out the blender and whip up an iced milkshake. I'm going to throw some French Vanilla in there for a kick and enjoy it outside in the shade! Your overheated, overworked Brew Crew member at Coffee-Mate Brew Crew

Went to the park yesterday and the Canadian geese are baaaack! They are so cute I just want to collapse on the grass in a heap of sugary love! Looks at these little boos!

My Top Ten Warm Weather Activities List

@Coffeemate USA Brew Crew has inspired me to make up my Top Ten List of the Best Warm Weather Activities, so here we go:

1. Plant organic vegetables. This is a workout for the entire summer. Just planting the seeds is only the start, then there's maintaining and weeding and wtering all summer long! Nothing beats a good ripe tomato!

2. Play croquet! The long forgotten backyard sport that is loads of fun.

3. Make Kool-aid popsicles. Just pour some into an ice tray, poke in a toothpick, and in a few hours you have homemade popsicles. This is an age-old summer activity

4.Take a picture of each of the flowers growing in your yard in the peak of summer!

5. Let your kids play sprinkler tag. Another classic!

6. Go to a festival carnival or parade. Every town has one every weekend in the summer

7. Cruise around with the windows down. Free air conditioning!

8. Skywatch! It's finally warm enough to take a telescope out in the middle of the night!

9.Ride your bike to town. If you're going to run errands, might as well do them the old fashioned way. Pretend it's 1955.

10.Make an ice cream cake, or any other kind of chilled dessert

That's my Top 10. Now share some ideas with me! #Coffeemate USA Brew Crew member Janet

March Madness

Well, I finally figured out why I suck at picking brackets: It's the math, stupid! Crosswords and Sudoko have set outcomes, all you have to do is find the path there. March madness brackets contain too many variables. Variables, of course, are uncontrollable. There's no way on this good green Earth you're ever going to get all 64 variables correct! *sigh* But for crying outloud, can't I get even 50%?! LOL
