Coffee Talk

I'm seriously about to write an entire post about coffee. Brace yourself for the most interesting edition of "Jen the Newlywed" ever. Or go ahead and click your way into someone else's blog. You probably got here and were like "A whole post about coffee? Wow, Jen. I'm gonna go read Big Mama" or something like that.

Go ahead. I understand. Heck, I'll even branch out and say that I forgive you. Have a great day.

For those of you who are still here.... I give you.... the coffee blog.

My relationship with coffee has developed slowly over the last 15 years or so. I've never absolutely loved coffee, but never hated it.

My first consistent coffee drink was the Starbuck's Caramel Macchiato. This was my highschool coffee of choice when we would all go to the Starbucks on 1960 by the mall and sit on that little grassy knoll.... all 100 of us.... and watch the cars go by.

Occasionally in college I would go to Starbucks but Diet Coke has always been my best friend so if I needed caffeine, Diet Coke was always there. I enjoyed coffee, but only socially. Once every few months I would get a coffee craving and go get something warm and sweet from Starbucks but I have never been a daily coffee drinker.

A few months ago, I betrayed Diet Coke. I was forced to quit due to something horrible called a stomach ulcer. I went an entire month without Diet Coke, and now I have only 1 or 2 a week. However, during the time of no Diet Coke, I really needed caffeine at work. So, I started drinking coffee here at the office.

We have this neat little machine called a Senseo and I love it. It makes one really good frothy cup of coffee and I just love it.

I also will soemtimes get a coffee from McDonald's on the way to work in the mornings. I usually get a medium non-fat latte with sugar-free vanilla, which is a heck-of-a-lot cheaper than the Starbucks Grande Skinny Vanilla Latte which is exactly the same thing.

Also, I am known to frequent the coffee section at Valero. Yes, I drink gas station coffee. But it is REALLY good and only a $1.19. Can't beat that!

I guess I can officially say that I am a daily coffee drinker. Atleast on work days.

So what do you drink? Where do you get it from?
