Are you ready for Wednesday? Maybe another fresh hot cuppa joe will make it easier. ☕️😎
I'm trying to get into the holiday spirit, I really am...
Starting off the day with a fresh cup of coffee, a piece of home baked biscotti, and a whole bunch of mentions about a conversation involving fruitcake.
Today is #NationalBrownieDay. So, of course, I'm having an organic fig bar for breakfast instead of half a tray of brownies which is what I really want.
Oh, and coffee, too, of course.
Ever have one of those mornings when caffeine isn't strong enough, but the alternatives all come with visits from law enforcement?
Happy Hump Day! Grab a mug and celebrate that it’s… um… the middle of the week?
Okay, maybe I need more coffee. ☕️
"Hey, can I ask you a question?"
"Can it wait until I finish my coffee?"
"No."
"Well in that case, no, you can't ask me a question."
(coffee people understand)
My traffic reporter just asked me, “Gee, think that shirt is bright enough?“
I told him not to be jealous. He just snorted and rolled his eyes. 😎
They can make me rise, but they can’t make me shine… at least not until I’ve had my first cup of coffee. ☕️
Time to get that big dose of artificial energy running through our bodies. ☕
Someone is feeling nice and peppy this morning. Someone is also on their second cup of coffee already. ☕️
I'm not saying coffee is a necessity, but would anyone like to live in a world without it?
THE HORROR, THE HORROR! 🤬
Good morning and welcome to Cyber Monday, which is just like every other day except with more annoying online ads.
At least I have coffee. ☕️😎
Good morning CoSo! It’s Black Friday… let the wild rumpus commence!
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and here in Tennessee the weather is finally changing to make it feel like autumn. So to celebrate the change of seasons, I decided to go with a more subdued floral print today. 😎
I just have the feeling that today is a multiple cup of coffee day.
Kicking off Monday with a new shirt and a fresh cup of coffee. It’s gonna be a good day. ☕️
“That Gary guy sure posts a lot of coffee selfies.”
“Maybe he just really likes coffee.”
“Good point.”
"Give me a shot and leave the pot."
"Sir, this is a coffee shop, not a bar."
(looks at the barista with a thousand yard stare) "Leave. The. Pot."
This week on We Try Wednesday, Keely and I taste-test Mr. Brown’s Iced Coffee.
