My Coffee comes Cheap - Sorry Starbucks!
Posted 7/2/2008 @ 11:26:03 am by mywetplanet.com
My wife doesn't drink coffee at all ..... she piles out of bed in the morning and, like a shot out of a cannon, she's wide awake and taking on the world! Some would say that she is a "morning person". No coffee, no smoking, just as if by magic, she is always packed full of energy!
I, on the other hand, fall out of bed five minutes later and start stumbling my way to the bathroom sink to brush my teeth. Brushing my teeth is an excuse to not having to think for three more minutes! Everyone would say that I am "not a morning person".
Three days a week we both go to the gym at 5:30 a.m. and workout for 45 minutes. She loves to swim and its good for her arthritic knees. I go upstairs and do weights and walk sixteen laps. By the end of this, I guess I'm as awake as my wife ..... at least it seems like it when we drive home.
I've drank coffee for 35 years or so. Never had a Starbucks brew .... can you believe that?!! I just buy the cheapest coffee on the grocery store shelf and plaster three scoops into my "Mr. Coffee" each morning, loving every drop that comes out! It doesn't matter to me that it's the store brand instead of "the best"! It tastes just as good, no matter what that expensive stuff tastes like! You could say that I've simplified my life a little bit more .... just settling for anyone's good 'ole java!
My wife is six steps ahead of me by now. We smile at each other and go about our merry ways, neither one of us giving a thought about the Starbucks coffee shop 1/2 mile away! Drink up, America!!
