Morning Coffee
Every morning, Betty Please and I share a cup of coffee. This is a new thing for us. I used to consume close to a pot a day on my own. Now I'm down to between 1/2 cup and a cup a day. It's hard because I LOVE coffee, but I don't have nearly as many headaches as I used to and oddly, I'm less tired in the morning. I'm not going to lie though, caffeine withdrawal was a mega bitch that royally sucked ass. But now that I'm the other side of that 10 days of hell, I feel much better.Anyway. We got a Keurig coffee maker as an early Xmas gift from the in-laws, so now we can make one cup at a time. I make a travel mug for BP to take to work, and then I make a cup for her to have with breakfast, and for me to have a "taste of". And everyone knows that "I'll just have a taste of yours" ends in I'll have half of what you're having. So we promptly jumped straight to sharing a cup. Since it seems crazy to me to make a mess trying to divide a cup of coffee into two coffee cups, we share.
Now that we're sharing coffee, every morning while enjoying every last ounce of the little taste of coffee I get, I am reminded of this couple we "met" on the cruise we on last year. I say met because we sat behind them on a bus ride during an excursion and listened to them bicker for the entire time. The fight that started it all? Water. They did not think to buy bottled water before they left the ship to spend all day in some remote area out the hot Caribbean sun. A bottle of water was provided by the excursion company, but seriously who doesn't think "gee, I might get thirsty while sweating my ass off in the 90 degree heat between the hours of 9 and 5." I'm just saying. So the short of the long here is they were fighting over water. One of the girls had finished her bottle and was still thirsty while the other girl still had half a bottle left. Now call me crazy, but if BP had finished her water and was still thirsty, and I had half a bottle of water left, there wouldn't even be thought. I would give her my water. What kind of girlfriend wouldn't offer her water to her thirsty other half?
We ended up giving them one of our bottles of water. Cause we're just nice like that. It didn't stop their fighting, but I couldn't stand the thought that someone I didn't even know was thirsty while I had extra water. I really don't know why sharing coffee in the morning makes think about those two, but it does. I wonder if they are still together. I can't imagine that they possibly could be. Or if they are, how they could be happy. What I do know is that sharing coffee in the morning makes me happy, and thankful to have Betty Please to share my life, and water, with.
You two are the cutest couple ever.
Well at least relative to a couple who wouldn't share water, we are.
just reading about their bickering made me squirm. Glad to hear you ladies are the sharing kind!
Years ago when I lived in England and we took tours to the Continent the Brits would all take tea with them to brew rather than try local teas.
I had to laugh as they would argue about the best tea and how bad tea was on the Continent.
Oh well, I enjoyed your post while sitting here enjoying my home brewed Kona coffee from my Keurig B70 coffee maker and remember those trips.
BOYCOTT AMERICAN WOMEN
Why American men should boycott American women
http://boycottamericanwomen.blogspot.com/
I am an American man, and I have decided to boycott American women. In a nutshell, American women are the most likely to cheat on you, to divorce you, to get fat, to steal half of your money in the divorce courts, don't know how to cook or clean, don't want to have children, etc. Therefore, what intelligent man would want to get involved with American women?
American women are generally immature, selfish, extremely arrogant and self-centered, mentally unstable, irresponsible, and highly unchaste. The behavior of most American women is utterly disgusting, to say the least.
This blog is my attempt to explain why I feel American women are inferior to foreign women (non-American women), and why American men should boycott American women, and date/marry only foreign (non-American) women.
BOYCOTT AMERICAN WOMEN!
