I have rejoined the Coffee Brigade

[maherwoman]

Gosh, guys, it's been probably a couple years since I've had any consistant intake of coffee. I used to drink it all day long (literally) when I first started working at a corporate office, two weeks shy of my high school graduation. It got to the point where regular coffee did nothing to help me energy-wise!

So, I took a break, mainly because of stomach acid issues...and as of this morning (and thanks to Prilosec OTC) have rejoined the Coffee Brigade.

Danny went out and bought a coffee machine (yes, we didn't own one), and some Hazelnut Dunkin Donuts coffee (YUM, btw), and some lovely creamer. Boy, have I missed coffee!!! I was so happy to wake up, start the coffee, and intake this lovely, beautiful, creamy cup of delicious coffee.

Is it silly to be so happy about coffee? *giggles*

No it's not crazy to be excited about coffee! lol - Welcome back! I am not a huge coffee drinker (although I love flavored coffee, like French Vanilla) but I love my morning cup. It's just the ritual of getting up, making coffee, letting the dogs out, and then enjoying a warm cup of coffee before starting the day. It just wouldn't be right without it! Glad you can enjoy it again too.

LOL.. I go to Starbucks every morning..

Do you have any idea how mean I am without my Venti Double Mocha Triple Shot Expresso, heavy on the foam?

It's a scene right out of Carrie...


A friend of mine on my MySpace has this lil thing that says *I will have a Triple Mocha Valium Vicodin Vodka Expresso Please!*


The only downside to coffee is I have to get my teeth bleached more often..

 

[maherwoman]

LOL...about the *I will have a Triple Mocha Valium Vicodin Vodka Expresso Please!*

I'm so happy to have coffee again, guys...I feel like such a dork. In fact, last night, Danny said, "It's kinda worrisome how excited you are to have coffee tomorrow..." I told him, "I'm gettin' a buzz just from it BEING HERE!!" Hehe...I'm so goofy...

But, yeah, this Dunkin Donuts coffee is WONDERFUL!! I'm LOVIN' IT!!

Thats the McDonalds saying...

Anyways..I need my daily dose of cafeine but not through coffee through tea.

I will go nus with no tea.

 

[XxMontanaxX]

I'm happy for you.

But I will never understand how you canlove coffee! :shock: I hateeee hate the stuff!

 

[maherwoman]

Hehe, Montana...it's all in what you ADD to it. I can't drink it black...no way, no how!

A good creamer can make just about ANY coffee taste sublime.

 

[XxMontanaxX]

I guess I haven't found "my" creamer yet. I've tried many different kinds that my mom buys, and it all has the same after taste for me. Eww haha.

 

[maherwoman]

Hehe...well, I can certainly understand. Not like ya have to be a coffee fan to be my friend!

But...I think I'm addicted...I've had six cups today. So much for going in slowly!! LOL!!

I'm also a big tea fan...add lots of sugar, and I'm ALL for it!

I'm a tea drinker, will never become a coffee drinker! I can't stand coffee.. love the smell, but ugh! The flavor makes me cringe!

I don't ming an iced cappuccino with lots of cream every once and awhile though!

Silly coffee monsters! hehe!

 

[XxMontanaxX]

Wow, six cups, I bet you was wide awake!

 

[trailsend]

I love tea too, lots of different kids. I drink a few cups a day in the winter - everytime I come inside from chores! LOL Rosie - SIX cups! You sure missed it didn't you! :biggrin2:

 

[maherwoman]

OH YEAH!! Missed it like mad! :biggrin2:

 

[undergunfire]

I love Dunkin' Donuts. I have to buy the coffee from the grocery store, as we have no Dunkin' Donuts here .


Mmmm, I love coffee, too!

Ditto give me tea any day. Hehe I worked as a barista. I can make some awesome coffee, expresso, cappuccino, etc just don't ask me to drink it.

 

[SOOOSKA]

Ilove coffee black/double sugar.

I will NEVER understand what all they hype is about regarding Starbucks. It's the worst coffee I have ever tasted, way over priced too :vomit::nosir:

[maherwoman]

Yeah, I honestly am not a Starbucks fan, either...too bitter!

I prefer the coffee I make here at home, thank you!

 

[BlueGiants]

Couldn't live without my giant cup (or 2 or 3...) of coffee in the morning. I didn't even drink coffee until I was over 30 years old... was strictly tea before that... now, I'll drink whatever has caffeine! And can't go without!

 

[GoinBackToCali]

I hop a flight and come back online to discover you people are dissing my Starbucks..

BLASPHEMY!!

:disgust:

I'm sooooo jealous! I had to give coffee up... most likely forever. I started drinking it when I was really young(ahh New Orleans, where kids get cafe au lait in their sippy cups, ) and when I was 16, I was at summer camp and within 2 days I was at the nurses practically throwing up from pain from the headaches I was getting... yep... caffenine addiction. She gave me permission to drink it over the summer(under 18 you couldn't, haha) and told me I should work on it. Finally, right before college I had weaned myself off.

I still drink it occasionally, but yeah.... I'm too scared to become addicted again.

And it's definitely not stupid to be excited about coffee, a whiff of the good stuff can have me practically drooling!! hahaha

EDIT: I'm a big tea drinker now too. Green tea has slight caffenine in it, but not enough to worry me. Most teas only have like a 1/4th of the caffine in coffee.

Great tea site:
