Weight,photography and writing

-
So this is an all encompassing post. Weight first, im still working out 5-6 times at gym,but its frustrating cause I wanna loose the weight ,like yesterday. I have to realize it took years to get me to this point in my life and its going to take years for the pounds to come off. Im down a few more pounds, im noticing muscle definition, but you know,,takes time. I now do weights three times a week to go along with treadmill. I have to say I LOVE the treadmill,yes I know,,dont kill me for saying it. About 10 min into my 50 min work out, I get my breathing down to a science with my step and I can feel it all lining up and then im good to keep on going to the 50. But those first few min,,hard to get breathing right, steps are off and I stumble. Its a journey im on and I need to remember im just taking the first few steps of it. Im on week 6 now and still going strong with my work out partner. We push each other to go the extra mile or min as it may be :) Oh the photography front ,, Im still partnering with Maureen in Ca and now with Carito now from Germany too. The one with the yarn and flower is ours. The other two are Maureen and my photos. Carito and I are doing 26 colors over 52 weeks of collaborations and im super excited to be working with her. She lives across the Rhine river in Germany from where I used to live in Eltville Germany. Life is so small and so big all at once. I also just got back from a juried photography contest where I took home honorable mention and got a membership to the place for a year for free. ive showed you that one before,thats the one that won. :) and to think if it wasnt for my boss, I wouldnt have even entered. Im now getting ready to submit works for another gallery. Cant wait!! As for the writing,well all I seem to have time to write is lab reports for my Biology class. No one wants to EVER read those. hahaha I hope to take out my camera more with the changing of the seasons and hope to be able to do some writing soon. In the meantime,dont kill me for all the photos :D Hope you all have a super night and weekend and xoxoxooxo Now thats enough about me,,what are YOU up to? xo Debbie

Sunday Stories, Crazy Love Coffee Shop

So Crazy Love Coffee in Roswell Georgia has been on my list for years to visit. This weekend I got to go. I bought my son and myself an iced coffee and giant blueberry muffins. This coffee was smooth. The service fast and friendly.  There was a considerable line; I was not in a line long. The staff hustled to get everyone's orders done. They asked what you wanted and listened. They recommended products based on what their customers were describing. They had books for sale, cards, bags, toys, all sorts of note cards, and cute stationary. This place did not disappoint.  I must have been the 20th person in this long line, but 15 min later, coffee in hand, I was on my way out the door to give my kiddo his coffee. I had an iced coffee and the flavor of the coffee was smooth and sweet and tingled the tastebuds. The atmosphere was relaxed. The light was on point in this big area. See those bags in the photo, I had to fight the urge to get one.  Crazy Love coffee is family oriented, perfec

Sunday Stories: Time Spent Well.

Us At Cathedral Coffee This is the coffee shop   Yesterday was a day well spent. We drove thirty miles to a local church, with a coffee house in it. The coffee tasted so smooth and wonderful dancing on my tongue. I was told about the breakfast biscuits that were almost sold out. We, my husband and I each ordered one. We got the last two biscuits, and they did not disappoint and were only $4 each, so for  $12, we got a great breakfast and coffee. We spent an hour sitting, sipping, eating and chatting. It was a great slow start to what was quickly going to become a busy day. Thank you  Cathedral Coffee  for fueling our day.  Secondly, we hit a local convention. Spend $7 to get in and $7 on things we bought. It was full of artists we love, with jewelry and hand-drawn art. We spent maybe an hour at this convention, which was local, and we walked through it a few times. Since we are not going to Dragoncon this year, this little convention was perfect. Another hour was well spent.  After thi

Third Place on a Sunday

  If you have been following me for a while, you know I am in love with the third-place concept. Don't know what it is? Let me fill you in. You need a home place, a workplace, and a third place within the community where you can go and chat, read, have a beverage, and feel safe. For me that is always a coffee house. A few years ago I went around to some of Georgia's coffee houses and I wrote about them. Always seems to happen in the Summer. Seems the perfect time to travel and see the coffee houses of Georgia.  This summer we start with Labrador Coffee House in Kennesaw Ga. This cute house is turned into a two-story coffee house. The smell of intoxicating coffee welcomes you inside, but have a poochie? No problem, there are bowls of water all over the porch for puppy doggies. They are welcome on the porch, but not in the cafe. Gotta keep that fur out of our food you know. :)  The Labrador is dog friendly. The doggies are welcome everywhere else. The tiny fire hydrant to sniff a
