No, he's gonna leave us on pins and needles....

Barkeep, in the meantime, IT'S FRIDAY!! Work's done, time for a Vodka and Diet Ginger (since I'm not in Utah anymore) and maybe some good cheddar with Triscuits? Anyone want some?

On a side note - IT'S PET EXPO THIS WEEKEND!! What does my little girl need that she doesn't have?? Have to really think about that! Anyone want me to look for anything for them?

Here is my hot chocolate pot, I have I think 6 of the small cups, and maybe 4 of the tea cups. I also took a shot from the top, so you can see the unique shape of the spout, and an extra comparison shot with a normal modern size mug - my Pooh mug - next to one of the hot chocolate cups. The porcelain is so delicate I worried about scrubbing too hard when I washed it!

The pattern is Maidenhair by Malmaison, Germany, J&C company, if anyone was curious.

Isn't it pretty?

And now you can see why I said I do have mugs for those whose hands are too big for the delicate cups!

That's a beauitiful set.

My Mom would have loved to have that one.

Ah, it reminds me of a slower, more stress free time of living.

Yes, but the cups are so delicate and small! So we must sip slowly and enjoy the company, and refill often, right?

Not only do I tend to use my modern-sized mug for hot chocolate, I sometimes use an even bigger one!

It is bitter cold here tonight, the weather channel says it's 11 above, but "feels like" 8 below zero! Good night for staying in and having a nice cup of cocoa. Anyone want some? Your choice - pretty little cup, mug or larger!

Hello everybody! Hope you are feeling good this Saturday morning. Me? I am cold. We have snow, and ice here in TN. The roads are very bad. I certainly can't drive on them, I am very dangerous on roads like these.

Happy Birthday Moff, have a good one.

David I completely agree with you, poor Phil, losing his job, that is terrible. Wonder if Obama is going to find him another job? LOL!!!!!! Put peta in the cave and seal it good!

I would like some of that Hot Chocolate, really sounds good this morning.

Good Morning y'all!

The Hot Choco pots are lovely, but I'm sticking with coffee...can I pour anyone a cup? We also have some perfectly toasted english muffins with butter in the nooks and crannies - have some with the fruit!

**Queen of Poop** · 01-30-2010, 07:14 AM

I'll put on the tea, not a coffee girl. English muffins sound great!! Not too cold here, but expecting snow off and on today. Diego is seranading us from the island and Cali is wishing the cone would disappear.

I could use some coffee...no matter what I do work seems to come up and bite me in the butt...ahh "mondays". Only a little over 10 hrs to go *sighs* I at least am treating myself to a cab ride to work and keeping up with my exercise regimen by walking to the bus stop after work. Hope yall are having a good one!
