The One with the Explanation

If you ever want to feel VERY unoriginal, try to come up with a clever blog name. Good grief. After MUCH deliberation, I had finally settled on www.itsamoopoint.blogspot.com, a reference to one of my favorite quotes from NBC’s “Friends”:

Joey: All right, Rach. The big question is, "does he like you?" All right? Because if he doesn't like you, this is all a moo point.
Rachel: Huh. A moo point?
Joey: Yeah, it's like a cow's opinion. It just doesn't matter. It's moo.
Rachel: Have I been living with him for too long, or did that all just make sense?

Apparently, about 10 million other people and their dog had some combination of that phrase as their blog name. So much for being “original.” *Sigh*. So the search continued…

In another attempt to pay tribute to “Friends”, I decided to title my individual blog posts starting with the phrase “The One…..” (the format the show’s writers used to title each episode). Unfortunately, naming the blog www.theone.blogspot.com made it sound like a matchmaking site. Gag. (Can you hear the eHarmony theme song playing?)

So why “Caffeine and Jesus”? A few years ago (ok, maybe a little more than a FEW) when I was in college, I was in over my head with work and school. It was a great semester, but sleep was…not very existent. When people would ask how I was, I would respond with “I’m just running on caffeine and Jesus!” So there you go! This blog will be a hodgepodge of random observations, thoughts, and recaps of events in my life and my family’s life. Life can definitely get crazy, so I say grab a latte, say a prayer, and enjoy the ride!
