Monday. Already living up to its bad name. ..


So I wasn't going to post for a couple days, but I thought this worthy.

I got up and really needed coffee. The children quietly do their morning bible reading right away. It is a very peaceful house for 15min and I seized this moment today to make coffee and snarf down my toast(I did my reading earlier!)

Pot #1. I added my four cups of water from our water pitcher, my two tablespoons of coffee grounds and hit Start. 4 minutes later I had a pot of coffee and grounds...shoot, the filter had caved in.

Pot #2 I empty the pot, wash the basket and fill the maker with the same coffee from the pot to re filter the grounds and recycle the coffee. Don't say ewe. I tap my fingers impatiently waiting. Finally, I pour my nice cup of coffee, grab my toast and head up the staircase. I plop in my chair take a bite of toast and a swig of coffee. YUCK!! It is nasty! I remember that I had put lemonade in our usual *water* pitcher for our Koinonia last night. Lemonade coffee. I am NOT calling Starbucks on this new discovery. Back down the staircase.

Pot #3. Fresh water, everything washed, fresh grounds(3rd batch) and as the children are all starting their morning bouncing off the walls, I quickly snarf down my cold toast and wonderful cup-o-coffee at the puter.

Gotta go direct energy.

That is terrible! I am so sorry. Last Tuesday I had a bad day too. I tried three cups of coffee at home, yuck, a mocha from Cruisin Coffee, yuck, and then coffee at book study, yuck. For some reason, I hated coffee that day. Fortunately, I am all better now and coffee and I resumed our friendship!
