Goodbye 2008, you stupid bitch.

2008 will be filed away as probably the worst year the Bliss Caff family has ever experienced. Although there were a few bright spots along the way (Obama, my mother-in-law’s wedding, Twilight, Caroline’s 5th birthday), for the most part it sucked.
2008 was the year I lost my business, my house, my credit rating, the final [...]

“You couldn’t hear a dump truck driving through a nitroglycerin plant.”

Friends, I am so proud of myself today. I have all my Christmas cards stamped and mailed and I am done Christmas shopping. Aside from a couple of small things that I plan on picking up at the Pineapple Commonwealth this week, every person on my list is accounted for.
It’s shocking and surreal.
I’m usually the [...]

Mah Tree’s Unfortunate Looking Younger Sister. Or, The Obligatory Christmas Tree Post. Subtitle: It’s Sad When Our Cat Has A More Happening Social Life Than We Do.

A couple of days ago my adorable husband, light of my life, father to my children, one I cherish above all others, looked deep into my eyes and said, “They’ve got Christmas trees for 20 bucks at Save Mart.”

I can’t come up with a title for this

Last night I switched on our local news and was keeping half an eye on it while I went through the usual dinner time drudgery. The news anchor was giving an update on the Caylee Anthony story and her picture was in the little box over his shoulder. Caroline stopped short on a cruise through the [...]

And I pushed and pushed for like 20 hours until finally the doctor said, “Congratulations! It’s a healthy baby blog.”

The lovely, effervescent and poetic Sprite’s Keeper has bade us to reveal the secret genesis of our blogs for the Spin Cycle this week. It’s been really interesting reading how everyone got started with their blogs, and I hope this post, the birth story of Blissfully Caffeinated, doesn’t bore you to the point that you leave and [...]

While We’re On The Subject…

Creative Kerfuffle emailed this to me because she noticed that I am slightly Edward obsessed. I opened the email and fell off my chair with laughter. Thought I would share.

Promise this is my last Twilight post. Working on this week’s Spin right now, in fact.

ZOMG Edward Nom Nom Nom

Me and Jen P. went to see Twilight last night.  That’s right, I’m about to spill some beans right now and possibly talk a teensy little bit of crap about the teenage holy grail of movies so if you don’t want to hear it, or if you are repulsed by Twilight – and I ain’t [...]

And I’m Cheating At A Meme

Jim at Plane Truth tagged me with a little photo meme the other day. The rules are: Go to your 4th photo folder and post the 4th picture in the folder.
So, um, er, here it is:

It’s a picture I used in a post a while back. Not really a great photo for this meme. So [...]
