26 Things #19 - Everyday

I love my morning coffee. No, let me rephrase that. I live for my morning coffee. The day just doesn't start off right (or well, usually, for those around me - LOL!) if I don't have a cup o' joe before I get to the important tasks of the day. On days that I walk in the mornings after dropping Erin off at school, I'll wait until I get home to make and drink it, but I still have it's nice, warm, happiness in my belly before I start on anything that will require my full attention. Although I love drinking the stuff, making it's never been my forte, and I always relied on Jim to set up the machine in the morning so all I'd have to do is throw the switch and wait. (Interestingly, that seems to run in my family, as my father does the same thing for my mother. In both cases, the men aren't even the ones drinking it at home!) Almost two years ago, though, while at Costco, I found this beauty and convinced Jim that it would be a great addition to our gadget collection at home. He was hesitant at first, but once he saw how wonderful it was, he was hooked. Not only is it incredibly easy to use (hey, even Erin can use it to make us coffee or herself hot chocolate!), but it's fantastic for everyone to get the kind of coffee or beverage they want, and have it ready to drink in under a minute. Ahhh... Hot heaven in the morning!
