You know how things just pop into your head sometimes? Why? You have no idea but when they do it can be fun.
I woke up this morning thinking of coffee. Mmm! So good. But what would be a little better? A steaming hot vanilla latte from Caribou Coffee.
Then I checked my email. No bad news = good. An email telling me I won the Amazon.com sweepstakes...BETTER. OKay, I didn't win, yet, but my fingers and toes are crossed.
Good: Chocolate
Better: Raspberry chocolate

Now it's your turn. What's good for you? What would make it better?

Those are spectacular. You came up with some really great ones. I especially like the one of sharing laughter and fun with your sister over coffee.

BJ,
You're right. That's nice to hear. isn't it? Much better than, "I don't like you, mama." Oh yeah, I heard that one last week.

Beth,
Sounds like you had a wonderful time! I bet is was awesome. That 'better' day is right around the corner. Hang in there.
SIS Barb
Tori,
See! You came up with a great one! Now who are these (in)famous people you may be related to? Do tell!
SIS Barb aka Elle J Rossi
Bren,
I'd take one stress free day. I'm so with you on that one! Italy would be even better if you could dine with your sisters, right?
You better be writing. We've got a bet going on!
SIS Barb
Well, supposedly I may be related to Jesse James (the bank robber not Sandra Bullock's husband *g*) and Clyde Barrow (of Bonnie & Clyde fame) and Pretty Boy Floyd. Also some more fun people like Mae West, J.M. Barrie, Frank Lloyd Wright and Doc Holliday. Now whether any of this is actually true, I have no clue. :)
Tori,
Please keep us updated. That is very exciting! Jesse James would be awesome.
