Tremendous Blondette

I am saddened by people who do not drink coffee. Not because it’s really sad, but because of the happy I associate with coffee. I have a weekend ritual to have coffee with my bff (yes, I just said BFF- HI TAMMI!) and it often motivates me to get out of bed and tends to lead to interesting turns of events (evidenced here here and here.) (did I get the pluralization correct? eh.)

Other benefits of coffee aside from the caffeine content:

• coffee is warm
• coffee is family in the morning- people come together to ensure coffee is brewed and sit around drinking, chatting, and figuring out what to do. I like these times. I might like it more because it’s not an everyday day thing for me. But, I like mornings and sitting around with someone you like/love, waking up, chatting, and having the entire day ahead provides a contentment of which a cat would approve.
• coffee provides topic of conversation and camaraderie with coworkers

So, while you wait for the coffee that bring such wonderful feelings consider filling your time with the following:

• put your dishes away
• clean your kitchen
• moan
• be bitchy
• bathe
• start laundry
• check the internet for new things
• tweak your blog
• feed cats (or you know, other pets)
• pick out clothes for the day
• sit on couch and watch morning news
• stare at coffee maker
• admire your mug collection- you may or may not know that one of my “things” is loving mugs and glasses. I like drinkware and I’m particular.
• admire your glass collection
• Rubix cube
• solve the mystery of life
• figure out the whole evolution vs creation thing
• go back to sleep

The great thing about some of the items on the list is that you feel even better about getting them done because you did them before you had your coffee.
