I am so excited that it is getting close to the holidays. Not because I enjoy the freezing cold weather. (I am still trying to hold off from turning up the heat until the first snow, which feels like it could be tonight.) Not because I enjoy wearing my Thanksgiving pants from the end of October until I can get back into my normal pants sometime mid March. Not because I look forward to going further and further into debt because we feel the need to go crazy at Christmas. No, no…It is because the Christmas Blend coffee will be coming out at Starbucks!

When Jonathan and I were so harmoniously wed, we had registered for a nice coffee maker. Not only did we not drink coffee, but we really did not have an interest in trying to become coffee drinkers. It was more for the people we “might” be having over, who “might” want to have a cup of coffee.

Well over the last year we have both become coffee drinkers. Although I think that I became a coffee drinker because I could put French Vanilla Coffee-mate in it. I love French Vanilla Coffee-mate! It has gotten to the point where I crave it in the morning and if I have coffee leftover in the afternoon, I will have iced coffee with Coffee-mate because I just love it so much. I think if I could, I would drink the coffee-mate straight from the carton. Oh man, talking about it makes me want to have some more. I will be a nice wife though and spare Jonathan the pain of coming home to his wife bouncing off the walls because of a caffeine overdose.
