As long as it's working for you and you're not blowing anyone up in the process; do what ye will. :) I'm just thrilled when I find people who are making progress, regardless of how they are doing it (as long as they're not hurting themselves) because it shows me that progress can be accomplished. I've made a little bit of progress since I started blogging but I've been at a bit of a wall over the holidays. Three freaking holiday parties have not/will not help. I can't wait until it is officially January and all the parties and holiday treat plates are over and done with.<br /><br />p.s. feel free to stop in at my blog and say hi some time.

A cup would be good this morning though as it is frigid here. My drink of choice these days is water flavored with sugar free cranberry apple mix. I used other flavor mixes to but cranberry apple is my favorite.Karen Butler Oglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467675086434536522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892013098261033589.post-55073399874389867812010-12-27T07:53:02.895-06:002010-12-27T07:53:02.895-06:00You're making me think I'm better off with...You're making me think I'm better off with my irregular coffees on random days.

Thus, it was considered the beverage of peasants. My goodness, how far it has come! The silver straw with strainer end was always mandatory, though, an heirloom passed down in poor families. <br /><br />In one of my novels, it is featured as the favorite drink of a central loveable character, a bruja (a good witch, naturally). <br /><br />Hmmm...the parallels here are becoming more and more fascinating!
