Thursday Morning Coffee

Sum-sum-sum-sum-sum-sum-summertime! Remember that song?
Good morning Michiganders! Read the post about "how hot is it?" and it looked like it was toasty all over the big mitten and UP! What's waking you up this AM? Decaf and black it is!
Heading out for an early AM walk with the pooches before it gets to warm for them...
Talking about going to Binder Park Zoo with the great-nieces and their Dad this Saturday along with my sister and her husband. Love taking my kids to the zoo when they were small. We went to atleast one different zoo every summer.
QOTD-Do you have a favorite zoo animal? Lately I've loved the giraffes. Binder Park has an awesome giraffe feeding station where you can actually come face to face with them. They are so graceful and quiet. I also love the pandas-seen them in the D.C. Zoo and San Diego.
My youngest son would think the gorillas were the best and Brookfield Zoo has the best exhibit for those.......
Stay cool today!!

Good Morneing everyone....

Just had my yogurt this morning and will start my water or CL in about a half hour or so. 

QOTD:  I don't really have a favorite zoo animal but Steve & I are going to Washington DC in August and I'm looking forward to going to the National Zoo !  I haven't been to the zoo in since my kids were very young.  I used to love the panda bears....and collected stuffed panda bears growing up so I think my answer to the question is Panda Bears :-)

Have a great day everyone!

I used to collect panda stuff, too!!!

Good morning all!

Big news!  I FINALLY bought an upright freezer yesterday.  It'll be delivered early next week.  And why is this big news?  Because now I'll be able to make protein ice cream!  Priorities, people!  I sure could have used a dish yesterday with the smothering heat too.  :-)

QOTD -- I do love giraffes too.  Also like the big cats and the seals too.  Haven't been to the zoo in ages and have been wanting to do the Detroit Zoo for a while now.   Maybe one of these weekends I'll make the time to head down for the day.

Morning all,

My normal coffee is done along with my first CL of the day.  Trying to figure out if I want yogart or oatmeal this morning. 

QOTD = we take my 5 year old to a new zoo every year and frequent our favorites.  Love Binder Park and the giraffe feeding station.  We did that 2 years ago, and my son still talks about it.  Did Detroit last year and Toledo this year with another visit to Detroit because of the Dinosaur exhibit.  He is big into dino's right now. 

My favorite is Hippo's.  Don't know why.  My husband is rhino and elephants and my son is zebra's.  We did enjoy the polar bear exhibit at Detroit last year.  The large male came up and sat down with his back against the glass in the observing room.  Made me relize exactly how large they are.

Have a great day everyone

Pam


 

Hey Pam,
San Antonio Zoo has the coolest hippo exhibit. You can watch them swim from underneath the water surface in an aquarium like enclosure. They are really quite graceful and beautiful when they swim.

Good morning!

my usual decaf and protein is now gone.... thinking about heading to a coffee house and getting me a latte.

QOTD:  I've always like the pandas, polar bears an seals too.  The last zoo I went to was the DC zoo maybe 16 years ago.  Took the kids - I think I enjoyed it more than they did.

I haven't been to the Detroit Zoo since I was a small kid - I need to come back down and visit someday. 

Temp today will hit about 80 - we set a record yesterday and hit 95 degrees!  I don't doubt that a bit! 

Now this is probably supposed to be getting boring, but it's not; Protein Chai Tea for me this morning.  Thanks Pam...
I'm meeting my girlfriend (who's been my friend since we were 2 yrs old) for lunch today at Kona Grill.  She says their grilled chicken sandwich is wonderful, so I'm going to try it with a side salad.  Shouldn't be too bad for me I think.

QOTD:  I love otters.  Went to the Detroit Zoo and the chimps had a baby...too cute.  I love to watch the chimps when they're active and playing too.

Hope everyone stays cool today.  Doesn't look like rain here...
