Coffee and such...

I've had mine this morning and I'm so cold and it hit my insides and felt so good spreading throughout my body, warming me. As long as I kept drinking it, I kept feeling warm.    


We all, or a lot of us talk about coffee. Most are probably very serious. Some are probably not quite as, but still serious. And some are probably very casual drinkers. Nothing wrong with any one of these types. If not loaded with tons of sugar and cream and syrups, coffee is relatively healthy, some roasts, usually medium roasts, have a lot of antioxidants, and it's definitely better for you than loading up on sodas which have no redeeming properties other than to taste good. I love my Mountain Dew and my Coke (with peanuts of course...it's a Southern redneck thing) as much as the next guy, so...don't think I'm hating on the sodas. Just stating a fact.                                                                          
                      So, enjoy the little coffee cartoons with your morning, afternoon, evening, late night, middle of the night coffee.
              

 



This one makes me things of so many people that I follow on Twitter and Facebook...grins

I make a lot of coffee at home. I had the espresso machine and if any of you have paid attention to my Twitter/Facebook posts, you'll see that my espresso machine broke. It was a devastating day. I replaced it the other night with an inexpensive French press from Starbucks. I love this thing! I buy whole bean and have a grinder for it. The smell of freshly ground coffee is heaven, almost better than chocolate. I know, shoot me. It's okay...laughs.

I have the syrups, too. I love creating the coffee shop coffee drinks at home. The cost is much less and the whole playing with recipes is fun for me. I do this with my baking, too. And my cooking. Does that make strange? No, don't answer that.



I'd change that Caramel Cappuccino, but, the sentiment is the same...

As you can see, I didn't have much to write about today. NaNoWriMo is sucking the life out of me at the moment. Or, maybe it's the edits. Could be the fact that I'm sick. But, it's probably that the holidays are being forced upon me before I'm even slightly ready for them, thereby driving me to drink...more coffee. I took my daughter to her usual Wednesday night hang-out and no lie, the town has put Christmas decorations up on the streets already. *headdesk*


I love the little dragon. He's so cute.

And for those that don't do coffee...

Have a good Thursday! By the way, I've signed a contract for my second Ellora's Cave book, an Exotika titled Simple Need. I've also signed a contract for my second Loose Id book, currently titled Driving Lily but it will be getting a new name soon... So...SQUEE!
