Coffee Fueled Ramblings

With Steve Rogers going back in time at the end of Endgame shouldn’t Agent Carter get a revisit? What a great show with only two seasons, ABC you missed the mark canceling that one. I know I’m late with this and it has been over for several years, but with the release of Disney+ I find renewed passion for the show.

Last night I was treated to dinner at my oldest son’s home, homemade hamburgers and sweet potato tater tots. Not to mention good company and being regaled with stories from children. I also played games with a very lively 5 year old, I think he cheats, I warned him I cheat at Candy Land and Monopoly, but I think he’s better at it than I am. So much fun!

When I picked Tess up from school yesterday her mom sent me a text and asked me to call her and put her on speaker phone. Of course I obliged, she then told Tessa that she had received a call from her history teacher. He said that Tess was a born leader and he has started calling her Madam President. He said the other children in the class look to her for leadership and she is his favorite student in that class. In a class of 30 kids she stands out, I am so proud of her!

Sometimes I am overwhelmed with humility to think that God chose me to be the mother and grandmother of such great humans.

This mornings ramblings are brought to you by coffee, one half Black Riffle Smooth Silencer and one half Godiva Caramel. So good, I wish Godiva still made the Creme  Brûlée but they have apparently stopped making that particular flavor.

I love creme brûlée, unfortunately for me, so many calories and so much sugar, but the coffee was heavenly and had no sugar or calories. If anyone knows someone at Godiva that has influence tell them of my plight and disappointment.

Last night when I got home 20/20 was on, does anyone remember when that used to be a real news show? I used to watch it growing up and I loved it, Hugh Downs was excellent, now it is a true crime show.

I miss real news shows and real news anchors, I know I have said this before, I’m not senile, but I really miss Walter Cronkite. There was something comforting in his sign-off, I am all for bringing back real newscasters, now we have people who insinuate themselves in the story and put their own spin on it. Ridiculous, tell me what happened and I will form my own opinion about, well, everything.

Dean would make a great newscaster, have you ever noticed they all have great hair. He has great hair, and he’s literally the prettiest man alive. Even in person! Why yes, I will be telling everyone that I met him and he was even better looking in person.

Back to Peggy Carter, the show was smart, funny, action packed, well written, directed and acted. Not to mention the costuming was pitch perfect for the time period. It was killed off way too soon and there was no closure, Hayley Atwell deserves better. We, the fans, deserve better, Captain America deserves better, let’s just say it, America deserves better. I may have had a little bit of coffee (a whole pot is not too much right?), for cognizant thinking.

I’m going to go now because I am rambling and I have things to do, I bought a new Christmas Tree and I want to get the living room Christmas ready.

Have a great Saturday, as usual, any comments, questions or criticisms can be left here or sent to me at angie@angieworld.com

Xena Warrior Princess Moment

It finally happened, I got excited to be in the gym, for a moment. Vincent comes out and tells us to grab a pvc pipe. It was not a hugely round one, just the right circumference for fighting.
I got all excited, I said are we going to fight? Vincent says yes, I thought finally, all those years watching Xena Warrior Princess is going to a pay off!
He then crushed my dream and said no, not really.
I’m thinking it would serve them right if I showed up in a Xena costume tomorrow to work out. I’m at the age where the crazy things I think of doing would be considered eccentric. Of course being eccentric requires a substantial amount of money, otherwise one is just old fashioned crazy. Unless you’re from the south, we are allowed a certain amount of crazy, not quite sure a Xena costume falls in that realm, but definitely worth a shot.
Sallie Ann then said I should get two of them and take them and sword fight with Tessa. I was appropriately placated.
We then did something called a dead bug with them, I tried to tell Vincent I have never seen a dead bug with a pvc pipe, but he didn’t listen.
It is the beginning of my Birthday week, I have decided to give this birthday the somberness it deserves. In other words none at all.
53 is nothing to sneeze at, I have earned 53, I have lived through a lot. I intend to embrace my age and experience and put it to work for me.
This will be the year I realize some of my dreams, I’m not saying here, yet. But know that they are not for the faint of heart.
Who knows, I may finally even get to professionally stalk Dean Cain.
Now wouldn’t that be something, to get paid to stalk Dean Cain. I could do that all day. I honestly don’t think that is going to happen but a girl can dream.
This will be the year I will finally be skinny, yes, I said it, skinny. I like skinny, so the ones that say oh be healthy, leave me alone.
This will be the year Tess is really convinced I am Wonder Woman.
This is also the end of my love affair with Starbucks, I am officially a fan of Black Rifle Coffee. I only wish they had coffee shops set up, maybe this will be their year to do that.
I am signing off now, I am exhausted after no fighting and Vincent stepping up our reps.
