Coffee Mug Swap

Tuesday, September 18, 2012

Thank you, Dalayna from Pointing Up, for having a huge stroke of genius and inspiration.

I got the opportunity to participate in a coffee mug swap! I have to say, this really is a fun way to meet people and to learn more about them.

For the Love for Coffee Link Up

Monday, September 10, 2012

I love coffee. I know that I've already written at least two posts about my love for coffee, but seriously, I love coffee. I'm one of those people who travels out of her way to avoid going to the same Starbucks because the baristas will remember that I was there at their store earlier that day. Yes, that's me. The one watching her rearview mirror before pulling into the coffee house hoping, praying that her friend doesn't see her pulling in...again. I'm one of those. And I'm proud of that. Show your coffee pride and link up with us today...or this week...or at least sign up for the giveaway. It's a good one.
See you in the html, Danette

Hey all you coffee lovers! Today is the day that we celebrate our
beloved drink, COFFEE!

We are linking up our stories, recipes, favorite flavors, and memories

made with coffee in hand. Anything about coffee and how much you

love it goes! Best part is you get to meet other coffee addicts,

yay!

Let's get things kickin'!

This is only our 3rd month for this link up, and I am excited to see
how it has grown. Shooting for 40 link ups this week. Yes, this is
much smaller than the average link up, but I am hoping this small
(shall I say intimate?) kind of link up allows for more interaction,
more networking, and more READERS rather than followers.

1. Link up your post about your love of coffee

2. Follow all of your hosts (the first 5 links)

For the Love of Coffee Link Up

This is a copy of a post that I wrote about coffee a month ago. I hope you enjoy and I really encourage you to link up with us!

It was Christmas morning after a long Christmas Eve. I was about nine but I always thought I was an adult and I always acted more self-important than I actually was. After all, I am the oldest grandchild on that side of the family. As I sat at my grandma's kitchen table with my great-grandma sitting next to me I got up the courage to reach over and take that mug.

This was it. This was the moment I proved my adulthood. I made the journey and was ready for my task.

As I felt the warm heat from the dark liquid my heart began to race.

If I had only known that my life would be forever changed.

This one addiction would drive me to spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars.

I would drive all the way across town for one smooth drop of that dark, chocolate liquid.

So here, on Christmas morning, I began up the road of addiction, one that I still haven't quite gotten under control.

Coffee--the bane of my existence. If only you were so good.
