J...is for Java

As in I need some Java this morning to get me go go going...

Those of you who have followed me for awhile now will know that I love my coffee Java. My day doesn't start until I have had that first cup of Java.  I love my coffee Java so much that I am excited to go to bed a night, because I know that in the morning my beloved coffee Java will be waiting for me.  Weird, I know!  Seriously, I even have dreams about it!  Maybe I need to join a 12-Step program, "Hi my name's Shannon and I am addicted to Java".  

Me without my morning Java

I'm really not that bad...I just prefer to have my Java before starting my day...if you get my drift, and I think you do.

I believe in the sun even when it is not shining. I believe in love even when I feel it not. I believe in God even when He is silent. *Written on a wall in a concentration camp*

J is for...Jelly Belly's

Jelly Belly’s are the best jelly beans you can get. They come in a myriad of colors and flavors, and are oh so yummy for your tummy.


There’s…A&W Cream Soda, A&W Root Beer, Berry Blue, Blueberry, Bubble Gum, Buttered Pop Corn, Cantaloupe and Cappuccino, Chili Mango, Caramel Corn, Chocolate Pudding and Cinnamon, Coconut, Cotton Candy, and Crushed Pineapple, and these are just from A-C in the 50 most popular category. Wow!

J is for…Jujubes

Jujubes are small, chewy candies in assorted fruit flavors of cherry, lemon, lime, orange and grape. These are my hubbies’ favorite chewy candies. I am not such a fan of chewy candy though, I much prefer dark chocolate.

J is for…Jason Mraz

I love Jason’s song Lucky with Colbie Caillat, the sound is amazing and eclectic…but that pretty much sums up his music. The song geek in the pink is funny and fun to sing to, as well as The dynamo of volition. I love his music flavor.

J is for…Jeep Wrangler

I would love a Jeep Wrangler…They are gorgeous, and look like a lot of fun to drive.  Jeeps are a fantastic, car or um…truck…not sure exactly what they are! They don’t really fall into the car category or the truck category…they are kind of a cross between the two. I have always thought it would be so exciting to have one.

J is for…Jump-off Joe Creek

I have always loved the name of this creek. It is close to where I live, and I have always wondered how it got its name. Here is what I found…In 1828 Joe Mcloughlin, son of Dr. John McLoughlin, was in a trapping party that camped one night on this stream. Joe came in after dark, fell over the edge of the bluff and received very severe injuries. I just learned something new…and I figured it had to do with someone jumping off something into the creek, so I was close.

I hope you have all enjoyed my fun post today; I like to switch it up a little every now and then, all the better to keep you on your toes. Have a look see over at tossing it out and check out some other blogs today, but first leave little ole me a comment or two. Blessings to you all!
