    Hey startover, I'm already at the drinking coffee stage, 2 cups and still going.

    Men are like... coffee.

    The best ones are rich, hot, and can keep you up all night.

    LMAO... :D
    I have a big ole problem when I don't set the timer on the coffee pot... that means it won't be done right when I wake up... it also means I have to make it (how do people function without a cup of coffee first), I just don't even know how I go on some days... I hate waiting on the brew! :rolleyes:

    I'm not blond but I am sweet (sometimes). Did you read my "Prison versus work" post? I thought you might get a kick out of it.

    Hey Start and HC - I'm going for my 4th 16oz cup in a second. My bad.

    Oh, found our morning prayer;

    The 23rd Cup

    Caffeine is my shepherd; I shall not doze.

    It maketh me to wake in green pastures;

    It leadeth me beyond the sleeping masses.

    It restoreth my buzz.

    It leadeth me in the paths of consciousness for its name's sake.

    Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of addiction,

    I'll fear no Equal for thou art with me;

    Thy cream and thy flavorings they comfort me.

    Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of Juan Valdez.

    Thou anointest my days with vigor; my mug runneth over.

    Surely flavor and aroma shall follow me all the days of my life

    And I will dwell in the House of Maxwell forever.

    Amen!

    Third cup here... and gaining... :)
    Feeling better, now on with the Yoga... (maybe)
    HC, you will make it through, it's Friday... WOW, you can handle a lot if you can handle the coffee beans! Chin up girly!

    I'm actually being very restrained today, I've only had one cup. Might explain the headache though, perhaps I'm in withdrawal. Had a nap before lunch instead, fourier transforms make me sleepy.

    I love the fact that the amount of time I spend on this forum is directly proportional to the amount (a) x the diffulucty of work (h) I have to do.

    AMHD a x h

    Oh dear I just learned how to use LaTeX embedded into this forum to avoid work. I'm getting worse. Well now is just about time to check the The Daily Puppy....

    And put the kettle on.

    I think the espresso beans are finally kicking in...

    Either that or this buzzing in my head is a sign of a much deeper problem... :D

    Just got done with my midterms.

    11 venti americano trip shooter @ sbucks = $40
    4 midterm booklets = $2
    3 boxes of pizza = $20

    walking into your last midterm on 54 hours of no sleep... priceless.

    "Making it through" - can you define that? Lol...

    Technically? Yes.
    Physically? Except for those random twitches and lips buzzing, sure.
    Actually? That's a whole different story! :)

    So... I woke up this morning thinking, I'm going to grab a cup of joe and look up what I missed in my slumber.

    ... nothing.

    For shame. All of you.

    Yes. I am done with midterms. No worries, though... there's another round of midterms in a month. Am I excited? Who isn't?

    Walked into my sbucks yesterday. Looked at my barista and said...

    Me: Should I have hot or cold?
    Barista: cold
    Me: make me... whatever you want

    The barista went to town making me a iced venti white mocha with 4 shots of espresso.

    ... and in the end, didn't let me pay. Mmm...

    Suprisingely, I don't like starbucks. To strong for me. I'm more for Dunkin Donuts. I'm obsessed with their blueberry coffee, iced or hot! Every time I go... medium, 3 cream, 4 sugars.

    I like flavored coffee as well. Is anyone addicted to the flavored coffee mate's creamer such as hazlenut, amaretto etc? I love 'em all!
  • Mar 3, 2008, 11:04 AM

    I'm a gourmet junkie, but I'm also a flavored coffee nut. I simply like coffee. If I had my choice, I'd be independently wealthy and travel the world looking for the best cup. It would be divine.

    Hazelnut is my favorite flavor. :)

    Have you tried Green Mountain? Green Mountain Coffee Roasters - Fair Trade, Organic & Signature Coffees & Gifts They have some pretty amazing coffee. The Southern Pecan is to die for, as is the Blueberry! Their Kenyan is divine as well.

    Gevalia is great, but I love Green Mountain.

    I actually have NOT tried green mountain. I will look into that.

    My midterm week last week is taking a toll on my body.

    After coming back from the gym, I was supposed to go to sbucks and do some work, but I ended up crashing hard until about 11pm.

    Went to dunkin donuts for my usual large hazelnut coffee.

    ... now I gots ta do some work.

    I'll wait for my sbucks in the morning.

    I will say that I am and addict to coffee. I drink like 4 to 6 cups in the morning. I do love star bucks but I am starting to like Tim Horton's. I take my coffee with 3 cream 1 sugar. Fattening I know. But love the taste of it. Anyone else like Tim's?

    Coffee is a condiment, and an excuse, for drinking baileys.

    Yum!!
