I always like a cup of Joe in the mornings. It's what wakes me up and starts off my day. What exactly is a cup of Joe (you might say)? ........... It's coffee!!!

I prefer mine with some milk and sugar. Actually, I use Sweet-n-low more than sugar because I prefer to take in less calories. I am not sure how good artificial sweetener is for you, but it saves me from putting on the pounds.

Anyways, for me, waking up and smelling the coffee brewing and taking the first sip is what I look forward to each morning.

Hope you had your cup of Joe today. :)

I was just thinking about the different accents that there are in English. People from different states have different accents. I like to listen to the different accents that there are out there.

Not only are there accents within the English language itself, but other accents come from people who speak English as their second language. Some people have an easy time getting rid of their accent but others keep their accent for the rest of their life.

Living in California, you get used to hearing many different kinds of accents because there are many immigrants who live here. It is nice to hear variations in the language.

I think we are so accustomed to hearing people whose native language is not English. Sometimes we don't even really pay attention to their accents. Sometimes we don't even hear their grammatical mistakes. The most important thing is communication and understanding one another.

My friend came over last night and we had so much fun. She lives very far from me now and we haven't seen each other for about a year and a half. I have missed her a lot and was very happy to see her again.

Unfortunately, she will be going back home on Thursday and I will probably not see her for another year or so.

It really stinks when a really good friend that you trust moves so far away, but at least you always know that when they are in town you will catch up and enjoy the time together once again.

I just went to the grocery store and there were some people giving away free juices. They also had a raffle. A raffle is where they give you a ticket and then they call numbers to see if you won.

My number was 033. They called a few numbers and then they said 0 - 3 - 2!!! I was only one number off.

Later they called some more numbers and then they said 0 - 3 - 4!!! After that, they called one more ticket and then they told the people that the raffle was over.

It seems like I always have bad luck winning things. So close yet so far.

I am happy that today was the first day that felt actually warm enough to go in the pool. We went swimming today and had a blast (a lot of fun).

One of the benefits of living in the southern part of California is the climate. Most of the time it is relatively warm and we can relax and take a swim.

The water felt great today since the air was a little hot. It is nice to get back into the water, after what seemed like, a very long winter.
