What's your morning beverage of choice? Coffee, tea, juice? Homemade or store-bought?
Peet's decaf mocca-java.
Decaf because it's better for everyone within a 50-foot radius that I avoid caffeine pretty much all the time. I'm insufferable enough without it. With it, I'm impossible. "Let's go somewhere! Let's go there NOW! Let's RUN!"
It's prepared the night before (purists feel free to gasp now) so that I can wake up to the smell of fresh coffee.
I drink it with a bit of 1% milk. Warmed up first so that it doesn't make my coffee cold.
One of my best friends-who-should-be-in-Vox-and-claims-she-will-try-it-except-that-she-is-too-damn-busy-to-actually-do-something-about-it introduced me to the concept of "baby coffee" a few years back, it's basically a giant cup of warm milk with a tiny bit of coffee. It's super yummy and was great when I was pregnant and not supposed to drink real coffee. I've since given it up. A girl can only have so much milk in a day before she starts to look like a cow...
I saw a bag of Peet's decaf mocca-java on the passenger seat of a car I parked next to today (beige Volvo?) and totallyflashed back tothis post.
(Hopefully that doesn't sound too stalker-like, I just have a strange memory for details like that!)

That's not stalking, that's nice! I don't mind at all being associated with Peet's coffee. However, if you start to associate me with a bannana caramelfrappucino from Starbucks, we might start to have a problem. ;-)
and no, that wasn't me. i like black cars. preferably ones that go fast...

Oh yeah, black and fast are good (as long as people know to move over)! Just as soon as I ditch this company car...
It was so funny that it was the exact kind that you mentioned. Not that it's rare, but probably not all that common either. I looked at it and just started laughing in the middle of the parking lot.
And I didn't even know the banana caramelfrappucino existed until the other day when I had to order one for a coworker. Actually,he might havegotten banana coconut...either way, it was a little frightening. Peet's rocks!
