Ode to coffee

As I'm pouring my 2nd cup of the morning (technically my 3rd and 4th based on the size of my mug) I had to stop myself from saying "Man, I love coffee."

It's smooth, almost chocolaty flavor and the comforting scent ....

What is your morning ritual that you can't live without?

[Sheherezade]

Calories. With coffee, of course. If there are carbs in the house, they are going down at breakfast. Particularly scones. Or bagels. Or muffins. Yummmmmmmm. (Unfortunately, today was toast with PB.)

I love getting up early before the kids, showering, attempt to put myself together, then pour mysef a cup of coffee with a little French Vanilla sweetner in it and sit on the computer for 20 minutes before DS protests!

I LOVE this ritual. When it gets upset, I have to "talk myself through" why getting annoyed is just not productive!!!!!

Chocolate. Once I have my bite (or two) of chocolate in the morning, all is right with the world!

I love coffee, I love tea,
I love the Java Jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me,
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup!

I love java sweet and hot,
Whoops, Mister Moto, I'm a coffee pot
Shoot me the pot, and I'll pour me a shot,
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup!

Oh slip me a slug from the wonderful mug
and I'll cut a rug 'til I'm snug in a jug
A slice of onion and a raw one,
Draw one!
Waiter, waiter, percolator!

I love coffee, I love tea,
I love the Java Jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me,
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup!

Boston beans (soy beans)
I said the little itty-bitty green bean
(cabbage n' greens)
You know that I'm not keen about a bean,
unless it is a chili chili bean! (Talk it, boy!)

I love java sweet and hot,
Whoops, Mister Moto, I'm a coffee pot (yeah)
You shoot me the pot, and I'll pour me a shot,
A cup, a cup, a cup, 'an dat zat bootle!

Blow me a slug from that wonderful mug
And I'll cut a rug that's snug in a jug
Drop a nickel in my pot - Joe
Takin' it slow
Waiter, waiter percolator

I love coffee, I love tea,
I love the Java Jive an' it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup - BOY!

I don't acctually like tea, but the song says it all...

Man, I got it bad. Let's just say that if coffee is any indication, I'm soooo glad I never got into smoking, drugs, or some other random and perhaps tawdry addiction.

Yodels are my "dirty little secret"
Though I only end up having them a couple times a month when I'm not working.

AMEN, CAN I HEAR AMEN....

Oh boy, I should have added coffee to the "there is always money for" posts awhile back. Except that I can't imagine life without- so I'll go without food first.

Love everything about it- taste, smell, the ritual- amazing stuff.

We had a brand in Texas that was our all time favorite- a local roaster out of Austin. We were crushed when they stopped making that brand anymore.

Yep, coffee it is! I'm trying to cut back, so I limit myself to 2 cups a day . I drink my coffee whiter than I am, with lots of cream and sugar. And my new little addiction is going for coffee at yummy little coffee shops, and indulging in a tasty treat like a muffin or coffee cake as well.
