Well, here we are again, the week is over, and I’m so happy to see you! Grab your tea, iced or hot, oh! and a coffee for my girl, Annette, and let’s talk! Should you like to bring along any snacks, please feel free.  🙂

 

 

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: last Sunday was a bit hectic, but overall a good day.  I wound up doing the grocery shopping and errands then instead of Saturday.  So much for a day of rest.

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: I have a group on Facebook called “Let’s Talk Poetry & More!”  We talk about our favorite poets, writers, and quotes.  It’s not a group for self-promotion although I am considering opening one day a week just for that.  I’d love it if you joined us!!

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: I didn’t have the day off for President’s Day.  I have such a terrible boss. 😀 I did, however, finish the last edit on my next book, “Short & not always Sweet“, Short Stories, Passages and Poetic Prose, and will be releasing it soon.  Cover by moi! I’m so excited!!  Yes, shameless self-promo, I know, but someone’s gotta do it!!  😉

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: that I’d love to be a meteorologist.  Why?  Because I can be wrong most of the time and still get paid!  They keep bracing us for these snow events, and we keep getting flurries.  I’m not complaining, no way!  But enough already.  Bring on spring!!

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: the full Supermoon was spectacular!!  Although it was cold, I was out there, taking it all in.  Do you think there was ever life on the moon? That craters were really parts of oceans and lakes, and mountains were once lush and green?  Can you imagine?!

2/19/19 Supermoon, The Snow Moon

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: they finally got it right and it snowed.  We were under a state of emergency, but we’re lucky if we got 3 inches.  What was that I said earlier about being a meteorologist? lol  Now they’re calling for temps in the fifties, so bye bye snow!

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: I had a good laugh today.  In my email I found, from Amazon, a request to rate one of my books.  The best part, they want to rate my PROOF of a book not even released.  I think they have some glitches in their system they need to iron out.  But it did give me a chuckle!!

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: my depression (yes, I suffer from) has deepened despite the laugh from Amazon.  I am having great difficulty with packing, to the point I haven’t even started.  It’s heart-breaking, realizing I have to move away and move on.  How do you pack up a life time of memories, into cardboard boxes?  Sigh…

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: I spent a much needed day, with the hubby, doing nothing.  Although the sky was cloudy, my mood was definitely lifted! A perfect way to end the week.

As for this week coming up:

If we were sipping tea, basking in the sun and talking I would tell you: I have a doctor’s appointment.  Just my usual three month checkup.  And blood work.  Yuck

If we were sipping tea, basking in the sun and talking I would tell you: as much as I’ve enjoyed our time together this week, I need to scoot and do the food shopping for my Mom.  Have a great week ahead!!   ❤

Well, here we are again, the week is over, and boy what a week it was. Grab your tea, iced or hot, and let’s talk! Should you like to bring along any snacks, please feel free.  🙂

 

 

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: My sweet Alyssa had to give up her dream job due to health issues. She was a pet walker/sitter. Sadly, the winter cold proved too much and she resigned her position. I know she’s heart broken, as am I, for her.

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: I adore the sunsets and the moon rise. For me, the day could consist of only those two things, although that would make it only night. Exactly! The sunset, to bid the day adieu (had to get that French in there for hubby), the moon rise to greet the night. And just think, you would be relaxing that whole time because there would be no time in between to do anything except enjoy the stars twinkling above.

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: As much as I love the idea above, there aren’t enough hours in a day. I need, maybe, twenty-four more? I think that would work. If you have some spare time, please pass it my way.

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: the weather in the states has been all over the place. Friday was 60F and Saturday it was almost 40F. And we have snow in the forecast three days this coming week. I am so over winter!!

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: I love Pokémon Go. There, I admitted it…step 1.lol Oh yes, and McDonald’s chicken nuggets. Phew, glad I got that over with.

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: I got to hang out with a couple of pups, my daughter’s sitting for. A Husky and a Puggle. Adorable and make me want to run right out and get a dog. You’ll remember the husky from last week’s tea, she was editing my book. 😉

As for this week coming up:

If we were sipping tea, basking in the sun and talking I would tell you: I have a lot of things to get done and no ambition to do any of them. I need at least four more of me. That should be good.

If we were sipping tea, basking in the sun and talking I would tell you: it’s time for me to do the food shopping, and some errands for my Mom. Somewhere in between, I’ll find time to write (I hope).  Have a great week ahead!!   ❤

Hello! I’ve decided to add a new feature to my bog called “Tea Time Talk”. I was inspired to do so by our dear blog sister, Ritu, of But I Smile Anyway and her “Chai and a Chat” weekly feature. So much so, when I asked her to help me with some names, she came up with a few, and this one hit a home run, so here we are! Thanks so very much, Ritu, for the title, and being such a supportive friend to everyone! ❤

The normal posting day for this will be Sunday but since this is my first, today it is! Shall we?

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: I’m not really a hot tea drinker but I do love iced tea. It’s all the same, right, except one has frozen cubes in it.  May I pour for you?

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: The week has been a hectic one but in a good way. I am finally getting to the end of editing my book. Of course, as you can see, I had a little help. I hope she caught all the spelling mistakes!

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: how much I enjoy writing poetry and the occasional short/long story, especially from the challenges many in our blogging community treat us to.

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: I am currently working on a novel called “Devil’s Pond”. It’s been in the works for 2 years and currently I’m at a stalemate. I know where I want the book to go, I just need to find the path to get there.

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: Being partially disabled has its downfalls. Most days, it’s very difficult to type, but I shall persevere! I’m a fighter. I refuse to be beaten down by this.

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: I love cliff hangers. Whenever I write a story, I try to make it end with the reader wanting more. What about you? Are you satisfied with an ending, or do you like to drive people crazy? Lol

As for next week…

If we were sipping tea, basking in the sun and talking I would tell you: I will begin packing up my home of 28 years. We are downsizing and looking to find something easier for me to care for. I’m trying to come to grips with it, but it’s extremely hard.

If we were sipping tea, basking in the sun and talking I would tell you: that I’ve loved our first chat together and look forward to the week ahead. Thanks for reading!
