It’s Saturday morning and we’re contractually obligated to head over Madisonville to get our weekend morning coffee from Biggby…
Especially since Biggby had a BOGO coupon on their Instagram…
Wouldn’t that be awesome if we really were under contract to drink Biggby hot chocolate and post photos about it every weekend? It would be terrific. But we kind of do that every weekend anyway.
We just love our weekend morning beverages from Biggby. 😀☕️❤️

This morning we got up early to go over to get our weekend Biggby Coffee…
Genifer tried their Starry Night Latte. She said it was really good. And I got my Cocoa Carmella hot chocolate with butterscotch…
I get the same thing every time. Once we had our drinks, we headed over to Kroger to get some groceries. Valentine’s Day is next weekend and the Valentine’s Day stuff was pretty much everywhere…
We saw another chocolate Perfect Man…
We saw the perfect Valentine for a man…
All these adorable llamas said hey…
Also, chocolate Easter bunnies are out on shelf at Kroger…
I don’t know when Easter is this year. But it feels pretty early for Easter bunnies.
And we saw this panda bear in the international food aisle…
The panda was filled with these weird jello cups with floating bits of fruit…
I wonder if they’re any good? The Asian section of the international food aisle is usually where the odd ball stuff is stored.
There’s always something mildly interesting at the grocery store. 😀☕️💗❣️❤️

This morning we got up early and went to Trader Joe’s and then to Kroger for groceries. Afterward, we stopped at Biggby Coffee for our weekend morning drinks…
It was kind of a sports Saturday. We watched Leicester draw with Chelsea, Xavier beat #10 Seton Hall, the second half of Wolves super boring draw with United, Michigan beat #25 Rutgers. And later, #23 Wichita State lost to Tulsa. The two underdogs we were cheering for won but the favorited Shockers lost and both of our soccer teams drew.
We finished watching 11.22.63 on Hulu. It was really good. We wished it would have kept going for more episodes. We started watching a new series on Netflix. This one is called The Stranger. It seems like another pretty good one. 😀☕️⚽️🏀📺❤️

Today was my birthday! We both took the day off work. Because the only thing worse than a Wednesday birthday is having to go to work on a Wednesday birthday…
We started our day with some Biggby coffees…
And then we went over to the BMV around the corner from Biggby on Red Bank Road to get the new tags for our Jetta and I had to renew my license this year…
We got our tags. I renewed my license. And I passed my vision test… without having to use my glasses! That’s a pretty good thing because last week, I cracked my glasses in two when I was putting my laptop into my backpack one morning…
Bummer about my glasses. Hooray for renewing my license without them.
After we got the BMV out of the way, we could have some birthday fun. 😀☕️👓❤️

This morning we got up early to go to get groceries from Kroger but first, we stopped for our Sunday morning Biggby coffee…
Today, Genifer got a Hot Golden Honey Oat Milk Latte but she got it without the coffee…
We learned that if you order a latte without the coffee, it’s called a steamer. You really do learn something new every day. I got my Cocoa Carmella hot chocolate with a little butterscotch added to it. I get the same thing every single time…
Later, we drove out to West Chester to have lunch at B-Dubs with Geri. I had to get my free snack sized wings for my upcoming birthday. Lunch was really good. I’m not fancy. I really like B-Dubs. And we came home and walked the dogs around the block…
And then we watched a couple more episodes of 11.22.63 on Hulu. But first, we just had to find a place on our own bed…
It was another pretty relaxing Sunday. Just the way we like it. 😀☕️🐔📺❤️

This morning we woke up early again to head over to Trader Joe’s before it got too crazy busy on Saturday. The later it gets, the busier it gets. We usually try to get to Trader Joe’s as close to 8am when it open as we can. This morning was our best time
so far. We pulled into their parking lot at 8:02am…
I just thought that little berry bunny was pretty cute. We didn’t get any frozen chocolate cover strawberry pieces though. I wonder if they would be good?
After we were done getting groceries at TJ’s, we headed over to get our Saturday morning coffee at Biggby…
Biggby is our reward for getting up and getting groceries out of the way. We both got hot chocolates this morning. Biggby had more student artwork on display on their walls. I really liked the hills with the watercolor skies…
The owl and the elephant were really great too…
And if we had a daughter and named her Niala…
She would be Niala Fiala. Maybe Niala could be a middle name.
Later, we went over to Taft’s Brewpourium for another lunch with our gift cards we got for Christmas…
Taft’s had a new Hazelnut Latte Coffee Milk Stout on tap…
And it was really delicious. We watched the Michigan-Illinois game on our little tablet. We shared a small pizza with pepperoni, sausage and banana peppers…
We also shared some of Taft’s chicken wings…
We had six buffalo wings and six Cherrywood BBQ wings…
I think I really like the Cherrywood BBQ the best. But they’re both really good. And even though, Michigan lost. Again. It was a great lunch. We just love Taft’s pizza and wings.
Later, we started watching a series called 11.22.63 on Hulu. It’s pretty good so far. And even though it was another rainy day, it was another pretty good Saturday. 😀🌨️❤️

It’s Saturday morning so we got up early to go get more Biggby Coffee…
This weekend we had a coupon for $1 off…
Genifer got a 20oz. Caramel Marvel latte and I got a 24oz. Cocoa Carmella hot chocolate with some butterscotch flavoring added to it…
Biggby’s coffee is sooo good. When we got home with our Biggby coffees, we made some delicious cinnamon rolls for breakfast…
What a great way to start a weekend. 😀☕️❤️

We got up early this morning to run over to get a few groceries from Trader Joe’s. And I became the mayor of Trader Joe’s on Swarm…
And then, we stopped at Biggby again for weekend morning coffee…
Genifer is the mayor of Biggby. We just had another pretty lazy day at home. I finished up my project for work. And we took the dogs on a few walks. On one of our walks, we found this little jazzy cool cat on the sidewalk that someone must have lost…
I set him on the base of one of the streetlights. I hope he can find his people again. We watched The Aeronauts on Prime Video. It was pretty good. It was just another pretty low-key Sunday. 😀☕️🐱❤️
Weekends are always better when you don’t have to work on a bunch of stuff for work. But it’s also pretty nice to have the opportunity to work on some pretty big projects, even if the timelines are kind of ridiculous.

It was really warm this morning with temperatures hovering in the mid-60s. But it was supposed to rain all day. And it pretty much did.
Before it started raining this morning we got up and ran over to Biggby for weekend morning coffee…
We saw on Biggby’s Instagram that they had a BOGO offer just for today…
My new favorite go-to drink is Biggy’s Cocoa Caramella hot chocolate with a little bit of butterscotch added to it. It’s a great drink. And I really prefer hot chocolate to coffee. The caffeine makes me feel too jittery.
We watched some of the soccer this morning. My favorite club, Arsenal drew 1-1 with Crystal Palace and my other favorite club, Leicester City lost to Southampton 2-1. The last time Leicester and Southampton played, Leicester thumped the Saints 9-0.
We hung out upstairs and I worked on some work stuff until the dogs let us know they wanted to go on another dog walk…
Later when it was time for the other football, we took the Taft’s gift cards we received for Christmas around the corner to the Brewpourium for some pizza and wings. Taft’s had a peanut butter version of their Maverick chocolate porter on tap…
And it was really terrific. We usually get Taft’s Cherrywood BBQ wings but tonight we tried their buffalo wings. And they really good too. Pretty spicy but really good. So good, in fact, we had already eaten half of the wings before I remembered to take a photo…
And we shared a small pizza with pepperoni, sausage and banana peppers…
Taft’s pizzas are so good! When we were leaving, the Brewopurium was getting crazy…
Apparently, there was going to be a comedy show in the back of the Brewpourium. When we got home, we walked the dogs around the block again in the rain…
We watched a pretty dumb movie on Prime Video and then fell asleep while we watched the rest of the other football playoff game. It was a pretty good Saturday. It would have better if I didn’t have to work on a bunch of work stuff. 😀☕️🐾🍕🐔🌧️❤️

This morning we ventured out early to get some Biggby Coffee and then we ran over to the grocery. I needed to get some more cold medicine because I woke up feeling under the weather again.
When we got home, we puttered for a bit and made a deep dish oven pizza for lunch. I took some cold medicine and went upstairs to watch the Michigan-Michigan State basketball game. Mack hopped on the bed next to me and promptly fell asleep with his head on my leg…
Dog’s heads get heavy. And Michigan lost. It was a pretty low-key Sunday. 😀🐾💤❤️
