Can't seem to get enough coffee!

I am a serious coffee lover over here, and lately I just can't seem to get enough of the stuff. I don't know if it is because I am so cold all of the time, or I am so TIRED of spending such a ridiculous amount of time indoors (avoiding freezing my tail off), or if spending my days with an extremely energetic toddler has just taken its toll. But, I want coffee ALL OF THE TIME! I am actually wishing I had a nice, steamy cup in front of me right now and it is going on midnight. So, I will refrain. I go to bed thinking about the cup I will enjoy in the morning. I make a pot for Jay and I when he gets home from work in the evening, and it is (sometimes) a real highlight of my day. It has to have flavored creamer, and lots of it, so I have switched to FAT FREE french vanilla(I haven't been getting much exercise lately). Jay is a huge fan of the coconut cream. Truth be told, I love them all.
Lily loves "toffee" too. She is satisfied with a sip...unlike her addicted momma. She is much more interested in making it. She gets the coffee out of the fridge, retrieves the filter, counts the scoops, pushes the button, etc. Loves it. Every evening it is the same: "Lily help momma make da toffee!" And , when she is in the mood, she will ask for her own cup, and she will join us for a cup of joe. Good to the last drop!
See, Becky, if only we lived closer...we could have so much fun together! We could drink soooo much coffee!!!

Well, I think I know the theme of your next blog skin ;) I like my coffee too but sometimes it doesn't like me. AND I am drinking more in this winter, indoor time too. I'm the only one here, though. What a cute coffee lover you have.

YES - How I wish I had a buddy to drink coffee with - I WOULD LOVE THAT!!! Chloe is my coffee buddy - she loves a good latte!!! And my boys actually like the taste of most coffees!! I make them do decaf - and it's not a daily thing - but they do enjoy a cup now and then!!

Hannah doesn't seem to like coffee too much. She does love tea though. She always wants some of my blackberry green tea frappocino from Starbucks. I think I will have to start buying her one for herself.

I've never been a big fan of coffee! I haven't tried it in awhile though! But I don't want to get addicted as well!

I drink it all day long too! French Vanilla creamer as well! We'll all have to blog and drink coffee at the same time. Or maybe a morning chat room. Wouldn't that be funny!

Lily is too funny with her cup of Joe. Your kid cracks me up.

She's such a cutie! I don't like coffee, unless it's blended like the Starbucks stuff with the whipped cream. Yum.

Too cute. I am not a coffee lover, but I hear it is addicting. It looks like Lily is going to be a great 'drinking' buddy.

Anne Marie said...

OMG, how is it that Lily just gets cuter and cuter!

Not a coffee drinker here, but I understand the love!

A fellow java addict here! I love everything about coffee; from the smell, to the taste to the lingering caffeine effect I feel mid-morning. It's all good!
