Good Morning.
Who has the coffee?
1. Was in an English mood yesterday.
2. So lots of Beatles and Oasis.
3.And this version of That’s Entertainment
https://youtu.be/H4b48Jx7Un0
I have the coffee!!! Keto style though. 😉
Does that mean you put butter in it? Cause I’m not sure I can roll that way.
I got coffee. Milk, sugar, splenda, vanilla creamer, drops of peppermint, peppermint spoon, pumpkin spice to put in it… What’s your poison?
Oooooh the Peppermint spoon!!!!
Not gonna lie. The dropper is the best. It’s just pure peppermint extract. No sugar so a sweetener is needed, but OMG, the flavor! *swoons*
Morning! I was up almost all night with my son who was sick. Need coffee desperately.
I’m tempted to buy 2, lol. Hope you get some sleep.
*snuggles Leslie M*
*pours her a Keto Coffee*
*hopes she likes erythritol and butter* 😉 *snort*
I’m giving her a hot kicker with an extra shot and chocolate chip muffin.
I think she’ll like yours more. 😉 Oh my… chocolate chip muffins. MY FAVORITE (next to blueberry muffins, of course). 😉
I love muffins. Always have. This place sells muffin tops, lol.
I love going to a coffee shop with coffee and pastry and looking through blogs or “window” shopping books and such.
I should try and whip up a batch of Keto muffins. I can use blueberries and I can use dark chocolate chips… just has to be almond or coconut flour. Which is pretty yummy too.
I’m sorry Leslie, those nights are the worst. I was just there last week as well and now have it myself. Care for a latte? I can whip it up with my Nespresso.
Hope he gets better. 🙁
Hope your son is better soon!
1. I was up ’til 4:30 am googling Jediism.
2. I ate a chicken fajita for breakfast.
3. I’m sending the hubs out for chocolate covered almonds and diet coke and it’s all I can think about.
Nothing wrong with chicken fajitas for breakfast! It’s a complete meal!! 😉
I just had boring almonds. I much prefer your chocolate idea.
I will take all offered snuggles and non-keto food and coffee. 😜
*snort* 😛
I don’t blame you on the coffee.
Who’s trying out the new E.L. James?
I also read the new Veronica Mars will premiere this July!!
R, your chocolate covered almonds reminds me I found Oreo covered almonds at Aldi a few feels ago. And they taste amazing!
Comment:…Oreo covered almonds?! I think that sounds dangerously divine! Also Tasha, I have to agree with you about your love for Where the Forest Meets the Stars. That was a really special book! It’s hard to put into words…I’m on emotional overload between finishing that this weekend and reading Transcend and Epoch. My poor little heart is in overdrive….
Oreo covered almonds? Yumm!!
I’ve downloaded a sample of The Mister (it’s already out here) but it’s pretty expensive on kindle, so I might read a few reviews before deciding whether or not to buy. Haven’t read the sample yet anyway LOL.
1. I watched Game of Thrones last night and *squeeeeee*!
2. I was up until 2 am last night. Not because of anything, just couldn’t sleep. Wide awake this morning too.
3. I need a box cutter. I like doing crafts, especially with little dude. I’ve made a bunch of designs for our door for seasons with Amazon boxes (their really strong and won’t bend with paint) but I want a full spring decor for the door for after Easter and the idea is too big for scissors.
So… I missed one of the KU books I had on pre-order. It came out on Apr. 12 (oops), but I’m so happy it came out. Demon Magic and a Martini by Annette Marie. It’s a fun series with almost no romance, but when it comes to PNR or fantasy, I don’t need it. Maybe by book 5, she’ll have her romance. lol
edit… Still seeing a face, not a fairy. *facepalm*
I FINALLY SEE A FAIRY!
OMG SO DO I!!! I think the cache with the avatar changed had just not yet refreshed. And now.. here it is. 🙂
Maryse, just an update, when I posted this morning, I used my *good email* and checked the box to get notifications, but just realized I haven’t been getting any. For Friday’s post, I checked the box AND subscribed and I was getting 2 emails per comment, one normal and one HTML. I’m going to try subscribing now if I can find the link.
Okay I just subscribed to the comments on this post to see what happens so I can better explain to the tech crew…
For me alot of the email notifications are going into my spam box now.
I just got this one so It must be that box. I’ll try it again tomorrow.
Okay I just subscribed to the comments on this post to see what happens so I can better explain to the tech crew…
You can “whitelist” the emails coming from this email address, but I’m still going to look into how not to even have to do that.
First off Maryse I love your new blog set up!!!! I’m going to read that EL James next, why not? Hope it’s good!! Leslie M hope your son is feeling better!! For you MC lovers OMG I just finished reading Devils Reach trilogy by JL Drake it was so freaking good. I can’t even recommend it enough. Heavy sigh 10 times over!! So sad it’s over!!!
Thank you Lisa!!! And it will get even better… I’m just taking a breather ’cause I struggle with change. LOL!
Have you all noticed in the email notifications it says “the Maryse” or ” the Tessa”?
We are in the Courtyard! 🐺
WE ARE IN THE COURTYARD!!!
In Fairy. 😉
I’ve been away on holiday for a few days so I’m just exploring your new layout, Maryse. I like the look of it so far. I like that you can reply to particular comments too, cos sometimes the thread was a little hard to follow before when you had to backtrack to see what everyone was talking about LOL.
I’ve been staying in a little cabin right on the banks of the Murray River, a big river here in Australia. We saw kangaroos hopping down to drink, also sulphur-crested white cockatoos – they actually flew right down to the water’s edge and waddled in for a drink! A laughing kookaburra (a kind of large kingfisher whose call sounds like loud laughing) flew right down and stole a piece of cheese my hubs had out ready to use for fishing bait. It just sat there in front of us and ate it. LOL. It was super peaceful and beautiful.
Jan that sounds amazing.
Yeah we had a lovely few days. One of our favourite places in the world.
AND YAY that you like it so far, Jan! Improvements to come, but I’m going slowly. This was a big enough change for the month. LOL!! 😉
It looks nice and fresh and better spaced out on my screen. Easier to read.
That book up there in Maryse’s list, Cold-hearted Rake, is a fave of mine. A really good historical romance. Great characters, great plot, nice sexy heat level without being ridiculous. It’s the first in her Ravenels series, the most recent of which, Devil’s Daughter, is currently getting tons of great reviews. I’ve loved the whole series, and counting the days till the final book due in 2020. If you like HR or want to try it, snap up that bargain!
Jan!! I’m adding your recommendation to the Tuesday list. Hopefully it will still be bargain priced!! 😀
🙂
I agree Jan, also on the nested comments. It makes it easier to follow a conversations. Sometimes we have three or four of ’em going on at the same time in the same post. LOL!!!
I’m afraid we are going to be disappointed with The Mister because we loved Fifty Shades so much!!!!! I bought it though. Fingers crossed!!!
I’m biting my nails too…
I just de-activated something in these new comments settings. Lets see if the “new comment” notices come in…
Post a few comments so i can see if I get the notices. 🙂
Eek! I just posted a few comments for you to see if it’s working now.
Okay I just changed a fews settings in this comment software. Hopefully the comment notifications will come?
testing…
Okay now I’m trying to subscribe to these comments on my mobile to see if it works.
If not I’ll deactivate this fancy comments software and reinstall it. I might have messed up a setting I don’t see. Let me know if you get new comment notifications in your email or not.
Thank you!!
Maryse, would you reply to a conversation thread again? For some reason I was getting some notifications in spam and think those are the ones. Just want to see if all in inbox now.
Okay wow! I just got the email notification for me in “this” account. I’m wondering if when I’m logged in as admin (Maryse’s Book Blog) I don’t get the notificatons.
But in this “reader” account, I do.
Alright this came to in box so, Yay.
YAY me too!! ‘Cause your response came into my box!! 🙂
