"I like coffee because it gives me the illusion that I might be awake." - Lewis Black
-----
Woke up much too early this morning and decided to embrace it. Laundry is almost done, the house is clean and my Sweet Sunday is done for this week, all before 9:00am and all before breakfast.
Not a bad start to a Sunday; although, since I've made such a dent in the to-do list I'm not too sure what I'll do for the rest of the day now.
I'm sure I'll find something to keep me busy though. The sun is shining and the temperature is mild, so nothing to complain about today.
Hope everyone is having a good day.

Macro Monday: Theme - In The Dark
I realized during this challenge that I am in the dark everyday, and that's a good thing as far as I'm
concerned. From the moment I get up I go for the deep, dark, rich coffee waiting for me in my kitchen and at about lunch time I start in on dark chocolate and do so throughout the day and well into the night (lindt 70 or 85 percent - yum)
A happy accident! The chocolate pieces took on the oils of the coffee beans so when I took a bite of chocolate I was pleasantly surprised. Perfect!
*No chocolate was harmed or wasted in the making of this image.
Happy Macro Monday!
Well he told me: "a double espresso please, as black as you can get it, none of that sugar or fru fru stuff".
Sometimes you really can get what you want (no matter what the song says).

An experiment with a reversed 50mm Zeiss hand held on the end of an 18-55 EF-S. Apparantly I was at 38mm for this exposure. I love espresso.
I was surprised to see Steve and Kathryn's new mural, which is so, so, so cool, even though Kathryn's not so crazy about the eyes in the flowers, and I agree that not everything has to be weird, but the sunflowers and the beachiness are just so super, and I am terribly jealous of this painting—not that they own it but that someone can do this (because I can't paint at all), and you'll have to pardon me because I've eaten a couple espresso beans after an hour-long nap on the sofa, and I'm just about to embark on the four-o'clock beer journey and make some pesto with the fresh basil in my garden.

I think I need to find some new backup subject, this is the third coffee related pic to date in this project (and it's only January).
Taken for my Project 365. Your comments are appreciated, it gives me the motivation to continue.
Oh one-touch cappuccino machine, how I love thee. You are there for me every morning at the break of dawn. You don't care that I come to you all bedheaded, mascara smudged under my eyes; you don't judge me. You never complain, you just deliver, seven days a week, 365 days a year. You give and give and yet ask nothing in return; except for the occassional descaling, but I don't mind because you are worth it. I love you. There, I said it . . .
Kona coffee extract was the third of four layers of high-test coffee flavour in my "New Year's Party Bars". With a hefty dose of espresso powder, Kahlua and a topper of chocolate covered espresso beans, it'll keep the guests partying at the TIFF party until the club closes!
