No Coffee!!



I woke up this morning feeling like today was going to be a great day! I was going to get a jump on everything I've been putting off. Housekeeping, bills, calls to people I've been ignoring. (I am only human) I was going to get it all done.
Yet this morning I woke up to start that pot of liquid gold only to find out there was none left. This isn't entirely true. There was enough for one travel mug. For my husband's to be exact, who leaves our home to travel to his job. But since I am at home I gave up my cup of happiness to him. Aren't I wonderful? Don't be too impressed. He filled his own cup and left for work while I watched and didn't throw a tantrum. 

What is it about that delicious aroma that fills the air? The rich robust flavor, the dark velvety drink that swirls into your cup and that first sip that send shivers of satisfaction from the tip of your toes to your hair follicles?

I  have considered myself a coffee addict for at least 10  years. I need it to survive.  My life doesn't end, but it isn't pretty!!
Growing up my friends mother had a sign that read, "Don't ask me until I've had my coffee". I am thinking about duplicating it. Seriously, if you find one, send it to me.!!

I love all kinds of coffee, dark, light, flavored, latte's, mocha's, cappuccino's there is a place for all in my addiction.  I recently had the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte which I had been craving for a year. It was wonderful and the  Salted Carmel Mocha kinds blew my mind. 

I even have a thing for Tim Horton's Double Doubles. Until recently I have been getting a regular. But once and while I will go for that large Double Double..in the Christmas cups or Roll up the Rim, those are my favorite. In the summer, I am a huge fan of their Ice Caps. Who isn't really.

As you are probably well aware, I am in very much need of a coffee.

So on that note I am off to see what my neighbors drink and if its coffee, make new friends.

What I'm going to tell my daughters....

  • Life in general is shitty, you forget to pay bills on time, you aren't organized enough to remember your auto insurance renewal, your car inspection or you license renewal...this shit will catch up to you and bite you in the ass big time. So get some organization in your life A.S.A.P. No one is going to do this for you and you can only blame your spouse for so long (5 years..people catch on.)
  • It is the flu, the cold, a sinus infection. While you're little soak up all the "me" time you can, because when you get older, your spouse, your children and your job won't care. In fact they will be upset at you when you are sick, your life will belong to them. 
  • Women will complain that it isn't fair that men say women can not get a job done and are not as equal as men because once a month they are bitchy. They are right it isn't fair that men say that. But not because it isn't true, because it is. The reason is that men have no right to complain about anything we women deal with. Their interior lining doesn't shed vast amounts of blood once a month. They don't feel like there are people drilling holes in the their lower abdomen and therefore they should shut their face.
  • Being a woman is the most wonderful thing. We are very lucky in so many ways for example... cute shoes,  cute bras, hairstyles,make up, and motherhood.. But it is a draining position to be in at times for example .....cute shoes, cute bras, hairstyles, makeup and motherhood. 
  • Learn to take the good with the bad and dance through the shit, because there is going to be a lot of it so instead of being cranky and bitter we might as well be happy and look crazy.
