Coffee, anyone?

Welcome to Clarisse's nook. It's not work. It's not home. It's that comforting space between, where I gather my thoughts; and connect with fellow beings who treat each moment as a gift, and are grateful for life.

Meet me here for coffee, or a glass of wine.

I strongly support the FIGHT AGAINST

BREAST CANCER AND PROSTATE CANCER

~~~My parents are survivors! Thank you all for the prayers. Please keep them going!~~~

CLARISSE'S BREWERY (I'm making hot cups here as well!)

COFFEE MILL (grind your beans, er..brains here)

ESPRESSO MACHINE (rev up the caffeine!)

FRENCH PRESS/Cafetière (my hobbies, in style)

MY FAVORITE BEANERIES

PERCOLATOR (hot!)

Heather: The grilled sausages were great....they are gourmet stuffed with poblano peppers and cheddar cheese. We get them at a local grocery store....they also have polish ones and ones stuffed with feta and spinach. They are AWESOME! I LOVE food too!!!!!

Ancestral Paths: Hi Clarisse, you might try doing a search for your aunt's name, be sure to use quotation marks for her name. You might check the Social Security Death Index too. You didn't say how old she was or where she lived. Contact her last employer, other workers, etc. If you will give me her name, I will check at Ancestry.com to see what I can find.

Juliana: Hi Clarisse...Visiting you here. I will be emailing you in a bit and I hope it's ok. Don't worry I'm not borrowing money..hahaha. Maybe some of those calamansi...hehe

Wanna hear something funny?

Mood:
Currently Reading: still stuck on "The Right Words at the Right Time" ---LAGGIN'!
Flavor of the Moment: my hubby
Energy Level: 10 !!!

Okay. So I ended up pulling my husband’s hair (not the sexy kind) like one wicked and enraged witch the other night (AARRRGGGHHH!). IN MY SLEEP.

I had this dream that someone I knew who’s always been so stubborn and never respected my words and feelings in the past has dunnit again! And if I used to be patient, understanding and tolerant with her, I certainly was the exact opposite in my dream. Talk about suppressed feelings! Aggressive and revengeful tendencies! In my dream, I was so frustrated I started yelling at her (YES! finally, after all those years of torment!) then I grabbed her thick wiry hair and started pulling it (like in an overly-dramatic soap opera with flames almost churning out of my nostrils). GGGGGRRRRR!!!!! ARRRRRGGGH!!!! It was almost cathartic. Aaah, the pleasure of finally letting the floodgates loose!

Then suddenly, I woke up because my husband shook me. He had this big astounded and bewildered look in his eyes...no, make that thunderstruck...stupefied...flabbergasted...PETRIFIED... as he nervously chirped, “What the hell did you do that for?” I was pulling hard on his hair with such adrenaline-powered grip and his eyes were as round as golf balls. Oh the poor innocent sleeping thing...

It was hella funny. I ended up laughing my way back to sleep. Maybe I should start seeing a therapist for a sleeping disorder (aggressive tendencies in dreams) hahaha or for some minor problems while fully awake (suppressing anger and stuff). Nah, I prefer to transcend and stay calm. Too much drama makes one ugly and sick. Besides, I must admit I enjoyed that hair-pulling drama and I'm not about to let that go *LOL*.
