Yes, it's true. I have been informed by the ever-knowing Twitter that September 29 is National Coffee Day, which is a celebration I can definitely get behind. I wasn't always a coffee drinker. In fact, I didn't start drinking the good stuff until after I finished my undergraduate career, was working a boring job selling permits at the beach, and started bringing coffee to work spiked with Kahlua. (Hey - it was work, but it was STILL THE BEACH.) When I worked at the library we had a coffee pot in the common area of our department and my coffee drinking reached it's heights (but no Kahlua - see? I can stop anytime!). These days I like two cups in the morning, with a big splash of almond milk, and then I'm good to go.
Coffee! Let us celebrate you!
(In case you were wondering, I have some posts of substance brewing in the back of my head (get it? brewing? har har!) but school has been a hammer this week and my computer time has been devoted to reading, writing, revising and workshopping. Hopefully I will be able to finish my post about marathons and writing tomorrow, and then I have a doozy of an Adventures in Debt installment to share with you. Until then, drink up!)
Happy Coffee Day, Chrissy! Yes, indeedy, this is a holiday I can support, too. I'm drinking mine now (with a splash of milk, a smaller splash of half-and-half, and a teaspoon of sugar), but now I think my cup would be greatly improved by a glug of Kahlua...oh baby. Why do coffee and alcohol taste so good together? It seems like an unlikely match, and yet...
ReplyDeletePS I'm looking forward to your upcoming posts--they definitely sound like topics I enjoy reading :-) Keep 'em brewing!
ReplyDeleteThis is so depressing! I can't go a day without coffee but thanks to oversleeping this morning I don't have ANY. AND it's national coffee day! That is just wrong. That picture looks so delicious!!!
ReplyDeleteI tried to cut out coffee this summer and was MISERABLE. Coffee, I can't quit you.
ReplyDeleteI've been drinking the good stuff every morning and trying to cut back on the Starbucks. In fact, I don't think I've had any in a whole week now. Been doing the Cafe du Monde coffee with vanilla soy milk. :)
ReplyDeleteCheers to that! My 10-hour work day today was powered by coffee.
ReplyDeleteI love knowing how people take their coffee. I like how detailed you are with your perfect cup! And yes - alcohol and coffee go well together. So does coffee and chocolate! And alcohol and chocolate! It's a trifecta of goodness!
ReplyDeleteJust posted the marathon/writing one. It wasn't as brilliant as I had planned but it got the job done. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you found some coffee at some point! No coffee on national coffee day would be too tragic. ;)
ReplyDeleteI've never even tried. I know there all kinds of opinions on coffee, but I think a cup or two a day is good for you. How could something that feels so good be wrong? ;)
ReplyDeleteYay! I always make coffee at home, because I make it better and because I'm poor. Though I do treat myself to a soy latte on occasion - it's one of my treats on very long car rides.
