SO...I'm sitting here in the middle of my "night," slugging back hot chocolate with marshmallows, because sleep is NOT happening/ Drat it.

I got a $25 Starbucks gift card from a White Elephant exchange, so we went through the drive thru after seeing the pediatrician and I tried the sugar cookie almond milk latte. I was not super impressed so at least I didn't have to pay for it.

Do you work nights? It must be hard sleeping during the day. I like tea rather than coffee, "not that there is anything wrong with that". I have black tea (various varieties) in the morning, switching to Herbal in the afternoon and Green tea in the evening. It works for me.

Dark roast black this morning and a very hot Americano this afternoon.

LOL, now you've opened my can of worms. No, I'm retired. I worked 2nd and 3rd shifts, by choice, my entire life. My mom told me that when I was VERY tiny, 2-3 months old, she'd wake up to check on me, as new moms do, and I'd always be wide awake, quiet, happy, looking around and taking in the mysterious, lovely dark. And it kept up all of my life. LORD, I'd go to school so groggy I could barely move, only to start waking up after noon. my mother would move heaven and earth every year in my high school days to make sure that I had my easy classes scheduled for mornings, and stuff I had to concentrate on in the afternoons. I do sleep VERY well during the day, though, usually!

I think chai spice tea tonight. I've already had my coffee, with Irish Cream creamer. YUMMY

M maggiedemi : I've been thinking of you, as Christmas gets nearer. Now that your Mom isn't in the house, have you or your Dad considered doing something a bit Christmas-y. Maybe even something simple like this.

Dark roast black this morning and I treated a close friend to lunch this afternoon. Her husband passed away two months ago and I can tell she's lost so I thought a girl's afternoon out would perk her up. I stopped counting how many coffee refills I had though.

 

[maggiedemi]

Tim Hortons French Vanilla Cappuccino one with Gingerbread syrup, one with Peppermint syrup. Ridiculous! Stupid Xmas blow up dolls on all my tables! I complained to the guy and he said they might be able to give me my table back

I stopped at Dunkin this morning to grab a few gift cards for J's teachers and got the cookie butter cold brew with extra cream and sugar.

So good. So sweet. I loved it so much.

 

[artiemom]

That reminds me.. I have to pick up a Dunkin card, tomorrow, after church.
I bought a box of Green Mountain Christmas Cookie k-cup... I tried ONE. OMG.. so delicious!
This morning is Peet's Holiday Blend.

 

[Kat0121]

Peppermint mocha cold brew from Dunkin. Very good.

Rainy day here so I made two extra strong cups of my dark roast black. As much as I enjoy going out for a coffee drink I still like my fresh ground beans best, i.e. rich, dark, strong flavor.

 

[maggiedemi]

Medium French Vanilla Cappuccino with peppermint syrup added. They must be trying to market to kids. But it's a coffee shop! They didn't take the stupid blow up dolls off my table. And they have Xmas stockings sloppily taped on the shelf where they hand you your coffee. So unsanitary! They can't wipe it down anymore, so they set my coffee in a pile of sludge. Gross! Gonna email corporate

 

[furmonster mom]

I tried something different today, and added some licorice powder to my coffee as a sweetener alternative
I may have gotten carried away with it. Apparently, a little bit goes a long way.
Might have to make a new cup.

 

[maggiedemi]

Pumpkin Spice cappuccino at local place, vanilla cappuccino with maple pancake syrup at Tim Hortons. Dad had hot chocolate both places. Then mixed English Toffee Cappuccino with vanilla cappuccino at a deli.

I'm going to be up late this morning, so a cup of hot chocolate, I do NOT care what kind, when I get Hek back from the vet!
