The Joys of Coffee

Well, I only recently discovered why we're best friends.

Believe it or not, I only started drinking coffee this summer. I've tried in the past (all during WMACS week since those are the times I put my body to little to no rest--3 hours of sleep tops) but I didn't know how to drink it. I drank it tons of packets of sugar and it just made my fingers numb. Recently I discovered that serious lack of sleep make my fingers numb, not caffeine. This time at WMACS, I first put some ice cubes in my cup before getting the coffee, pumping a few pumps of creamer, and adding some sugar (pure ice coffee style). Now that was heaven! Since that first day, I shocked myself when I didn't even add sugar one day and couldn't notice it. Ever since then, I've appreciated coffee.


So obviously when the seasons rolled around and Starbucks debuted their pumpkin spiced latte, I had to try it. But I kept putting it off...so I ended up not having it. There's always next year!
BUT, I have tried Starbucks' peppermint mocha and caramel brulee latte. Thanks to their holiday happy hour a few weeks ago, I bought a caramel brulee and gingerbread latte for myself and my family. They all shared the gingerbread. I didn't get to try it because I was sick with a cough and didn't want to get them sick; instead I just chugged down my caramel brulee latte.
