Welcome to Manic Monday Edition #13:SUN


I´m sitting on the patio, enjoying the sun… my notebook´s on my knees… a huge glass of iced coffee next to me. I can listen to the sunny music tootling from inside our home:Stevie Wonder - You Are The Sunshine Of My LifeThe Beatles - Here Comes The Sun

Bob Marley - Sun Is Shining

Nirvana - Seasons In The Sun

Nora Jones - Sunrise

Army Of Lovers - Let The Sunshine In

Simply Red - Sunrise

Katrina & The Waves - I´m Walking On Sunshine

Laid Back - Sunshine Raggae

Perfect. To top it up I´m in need of some great reads - I will visit my fellow blogger´s right now!
Plans for tonight: There´s a reason to celebrate. Me and Frank, the sunshine of my life, we´ll have a BBQ and Tequila Sunrise =)Tequila Sunrise Recipe:

Ingredients:
2 1/2 oz Tequila
5 oz Orange Juice
1/2 shot of Grenadine Sirup
1 Orange Slice to decorate
Ice Cubes

Recipe:
Pour OJ and Tequila into a cocktail shaker, add ice cubes and shake well.
Pour into a highball glass, then add the Grenadine little by little to the bottom of the glass. It will slowly rise up through the OJ in a very pretty color gradient from red to red-orange to orange.

Voilà: Tequila Sunrise =)

xoXOxo,

Unbelievable, but true: I´m nominated for my second
Thinking Blogger Award!

My blogging friend Maria @ BAAAHHH!!! has awarded me. She said:

Coffee2Go: I found this blog not too long ago and I just loved it…she is funny and it’s just a great place to “hang out”…keep it up!!!

I´m sitting right here in my little Coffee Corner, deeply honored and blushing.

All I can say is:
(Once again to take with a pinch of salt - I just love the Academy Awards Acceptance Speech Generator too much to forgo it… *LOL* )

Thank you! Oh! Thank you! I can hardly breathe! I feel so blessed! And this statue - it’s so suspiciously phallic! Oh, thank you again! I just want everyone to know that even in my wildest AA meetings, I never would have fantasized that this could ever happen to me. And to the other brilliant nominees, I want each of you to know how totally wonderful your plastic surgery makes me feel right now!You know when they first told me I was n’t blonde enough, I just had to take a minute and scoff about how freakish my thighs have been. I guess it all just makes me feel kinda special

You know, there are so many ass-kissing little people to thank! First off though, I want to thank Maria & Stefano of the Academy, who looked deep within their lint-encrusted navels before giving me this fantastic award! Also, I want to thank my guru, for being such a powerful force in my loins. And to the People Under the Stairs, who taught me to take life by the fifth of bourbon. And finally, to all the sycophantic talk show hosts - I couldn’t have done it without you!


Thank you Blogosphere, and good night! (Created with the helpful Academy Awards Acceptance Speech Generator, somewhat modified.)

All jokes aside: Grazie, Maria! Sono molto commossa!

Now I´m supposed to nominate five other fellow Blogger with the Thinking Blogger Award. Hooray! Excellent - that´s the opp I was in need of when I was awarded with my first Thinking Blogger Award!
Some of those wonderful fellow Bloggers are new to me, some are old friends, but they all have something in common: I love them! Their blogs are warmhearted and caring… and have a great sense of humor. Visiting them is always worthwhile.

1.) Purrchance To Dream ~ Jazper, Spooker, Daphne, Chloe, and Not The Mama.
2.) Get Your Blog On! ~ Steven
3.) Blog That Mommy ~ Neila
4.) Bad Jokes And Oven Chips ~ TopChamp
5.) TorAa Mirror ~ Tor

Here´s what to do, ladies and gentleman:
1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think,
2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme,
3. Optional: Proudly display the ‘Thinking Blogger Award’ with a link to the post that you wrote (here is an alternative silver version if gold doesn’t fit your blog).

Have fun! Please don´t forget to register your sheep right after you leave!

xoXOxo,

And now…

Homer: I am so smart! I am so smart! S-M-R-T! I mean S-M-A-R-T…

[Please scroll down for Tackle It Tuesday]

Julie has invited to join her Race to the shower - her bridal shower is 16 weeks away. Julie´s goal is to get rid of another 15/16 pounds till then. Surely I joined the race. Today in the morning I had my weekly weigh-in day. Please give me some pats on my back: I´ve lost another lb. That´s only 6 lb to go. I´ve more than halved myself (OK: my weight) since I gave birth to Luis. Hopefully this doesn´t sound swanky, but I´m too proud not to tell you! Maybe you cn share my happiness? =)

Wanna join the race or just support? Please visit Flip This Body! And please vote for Julie at the Blogger´s Choice Award. She is nominated for Best Health Blog. I don´t mind if you vote for me, too (Best Design). You have to sign up for voting, but it´s worthy. You´ll find lots of fellow bloggers to show some love to. If you are nominated, too, please let me know so I can vote for you!

xoXOxo,

And now…
… our moment of Homer J.:

Homer: I’ll never wiggle my bare butt it public again
Lisa: I’d like to believe that this time, I really would.
