Coffee: America's Pick-Me-Up

Coffee and I have always had a hate-hate relationship . Ever since I was little I thought it was ridiculous to drink coffee for any reason. It was black, bitter, hot and only grown ups drank it. I could never understand why so many people drank coffee. I remember my parents making coffee every morning and hearing the coffee grinder going off at 5 o'clock in the morning when my dad left for work. Members at my church would go nuts for coffee as they socialized around the coffee pot. I mostly thought the people who couldn't function without their coffee were crazy!

Then something came along called nursing school and I am one of those people! I'm hooked! Now it's all about the love. I drink it every morning to get my day started and get crazy if I can't have it. It's warm and sweet and puts me in a better mood. I usually just have one cup, but sometimes I'll sneak two. And I love the sound of the coffee grinder in the morning because it reminds me of my dad [and because I know I'll soon be drinking a delicious cup of coffee].

Plus coffee mugs are too cute. My roommates and I have a whole cupboard full of coffee mugs, and by the end of the week the entire cupboard is empty. I think we only to dishes to wash our mugs, then whatever else gets washed is a plus!

I don't know what I would do without coffee ♥ It's definitely my pick-me-up.
