Coffee!!!!

As a little kid, I always loved the smell of coffee in the morning, noon and night.  But the taste, oh the taste.  I thought coffee beans would taste so yummy.  Yep, I was wrong.  I do remember sneaking tastes of my papa's and father's cups of coffee.  But I was just never a coffee drinker, until I had twins.  I am not sure if my taste buds changed or if I just needed that extra jolt.  I remember being in the hospital and asking for coffee.

I started out with the coffee that really didn't taste like coffee.  It was more or less just a cup with a splash of coffee and lots of sugar and syrup.  Oh yes my sweet fixes that helped add pounds to my already baby weighted body.  I then moved on to the instant stuff, you know the stuff that's not really coffee because it's a ton of sugar?  I would add more sugar into it by adding the syrup.  Oh how I loved the syrup.  Then a move happened and grad school.  Starbucks became way to expensive to drink so we bought a little cheap (and awesome I might add) expresso maker.  That thing is just now starting to go and we've had it 3 years.  So, I drank the expresso's for a bit.  Sometimes up to 2 a day and then something happened  with my taste buds, they didn't like the taste of it anymore (aside my making me extra jumpy).  I went back to instant and this time, the real instant coffee.  No syrups, just creamer.  Once grad school was done and Cody had a paycheck again it was time for a Keurig.  Well if you know me then you know I don't like spending money.  So, I decided to go with the cheap version, the Mr. Coffee brand.  Oh it's been wonderful.

So, I'm still drinking 2 cups of coffee per day.  None of the sugary/syrupy crud anymore.  Just a nice medium roast Donut House coffee with some french vanilla creamer.

Coffee, such a wonderful thing :)

Slacker.......hanging head in shame

Yes, I'm a slacker.  Not that anybody reads this but I'm going to try to do better.  I guess I should try to update the pictures first, since well the kids aren't 6 and 3 anymore.  And well that picture of Cody was taken way before kids but he still looks as handsome as ever.

Now to put a reminder in my phone to write in this daily to get me started.
