Heaven…I’m in heaven…
Heaven
I’m in heaven
And my heart beats
So that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find
The happiness I seek…
…coffee, keeping the world safe for thousands of years. To paraphrase Ben, and I think I have before, “coffee is proof God loves us and wants us to be happy.” And that He wants everyone in my house to survive mornings, obviously.
Trivia: Coffee was first consumed in the 9th century, when it was discovered in the highlands of Ethiopia.
Text *Boink*
BeckyB: ON SALE! 30% off!
Me: I WANT!
BB: Really?
Me: YES!
Trivia: Coffee was first known in Europe as Arabian Wine.
I can totally see that. With fewer calories. And I’ve heard that the caffeine burns a few calories. Not as many as running, but every little bit counts.
Heaven
I’m in heaven
And the cares
That hung around me
Through the week
Seem to vanish
Like a gamblers
Lucky streak
….like the cup of Donut Shop Macadamia Nut freshly brewed into my mug is quickly vanishing. *Yum*
The dog is safe, the cat is safe, the Hubs is safe. I love you all. I love the world. I love the idiot squirrels stripping branches off my trees and burying the hickory nuts in MY PLANTERS dammit.
Trivia: The heavy tea tax imposed on the colonies in 1773, which caused the “Boston Tea Party,” resulted in America switching from tea to coffee. Drinking coffee was an expression of freedom.
I know I like to drink it freely.
Oh
I love to climb a mountain
And to reach the highest peak
But it doesn’t thrill me
Half as much…
…as perusing greenmountaincoffee.com and giving serious consideration to Chocolate Glazed Donut and Cinnamon Roll. Then I will go for a bike ride with the hubs this afternoon. And I rode yesterday: 21 miles, 1:18:05.
Trivia: In the ancient Arab world, coffee became such a staple in family life that one of the causes allowed by law for marital separation was a husband’s refusal to produce coffee for his wife.
This would never happen in my household. Hubs is an extremely intelligent man.
Oh
I love to go out fishing
In a river, or a creek
But I don’t enjoy it half as much…
…as watching someone else fishing on the lake while I brew another cup and curl up on the patio –
GOODBYE!
Run. Dog. Cat. Cat. Me. 
I have the exact same Keurig. I use it every single day, and I love it. Rejoice and be glad!
It’s a beautiful day in Keurig Land! 🙂
I might have to switch TV over to QVC again… Love it!! When I went on vacation in Kona, Hawaii, some years ago, I went to a coffee plantation and a coffee tasting. So much better than wine tasting. I was in heaven then! Enjoy!!
I’ve heard it’s the very best! There used to be a little coffee shop nearby and one Christmas they had some real Kona Coffee – it was like $18 per pound or something. My dad loved coffee and we got him half a pound, it was really good!
Yes, worth every dollar! 🙂
I found myself singing along… Love that song…and my Keurig. 🙂
LOL! I had it as an earworm for about three days!
I actually sang the song in jazz choir in high school, so now I think you’ve passed that ear worm to me. “When we’re out together dancing cheek to cheek”…
So sorry! A friend and I seem extremely susceptible to earworms for some reason. Apparently some people aren’t (hubs, for instance). I had the Mahna-mahna song stuck for days. I posted those two words on her FB page and she started SCREAMING —- LOL! Now we’re forever trying to sneak one in on the other; email subject lines, FB, etc.
That’s awesome. I actually didn’t mind that ear worm. And I have a couple of friends who do that with me, too.
I agree about the coffee-heaven connection. Ahhhh…especially when the pets stir early in the morning. My Dad (whom I trust with all things culinary and who makes what my husband calls “cowboy coffee”) gave me a surprising coffee tip lately: Sam’s Choice Sumatra coffee is one of the best ever, even better than Starbucks Sumatra (which he beats into submission as a fine powder). Guess what–he’s right! (you Keurig fans won’t know what you’re missing)
I’ve had a Cuisinart Grind ‘n Brew for years that makes the best. damn. coffee. ever. And I still have it. But something about fall coming and cooler weather has me loving Cinnamon Roll or Coconut Mocha in the morning right now. I do not think it makes the best plain coffee, tho. I think the plain coffee in the Keurig tastes slightly metallic. I’ll have to tell my mom about the Sumatra, tho!
The Sumatra was a great surprise. I’m not a great fan of WalMart, but not totally against the place either. I’m going there regularly now. I was given a great gift of a coconut coffee from Hawaii once–I think it was Tiger brand. Not for Keurig, but luscious stuff!
About the Cuisinart…I would love to have one that ground the beans right before brewing! However, we bought one Cuisinart that sounded the most obnoxious alarm when the coffee was finished brewing. It was NOT the thing you needed when trying to be quiet and not wake the rest of the family! The company told us the only way to disarm the thing was to cut the wire. That was the last Cuisinart we ever bought…
That’s funny, but sure bad marketing on their part! This morning I’m sipping Kahlua…yum…

You’re welcome…:-)

I’m afraid to click the link…LOL!
LMAO! Ok…luckily I won’t have issues with THAT one getting stuck…;-)
hahaha!
GIRL!!! I feel like a jerk, I’m just finally getting to this. I don’t want you to think I wasn’t honored, I was very much so – your’s is one of my very favorite blogs and it meant a great deal for me to have you award this to me, and I wanted to give it serious consideration. In the craziness of the holidays and the house full of people it got put on the back burner and this afternoon I thought – DAMMIT!!!
LOL! I’m soooo not offended. Believe me…I have a whole bunch of awards on the “back burner” because I don’t want my blog to become one big giant award back and forth thing… Am I making sense? 🙂
definitely – and thanks!
