There isn't enough coffee around here.
Well, there IS enough coffee. I just have to get to it in the morning before Gary does. Because...
there isn't enough coffee around here. Image
In a time BG (before Gary moved in), I would make a pot of coffee in the morning and have enough for two or three mugs before leaving for work AND a whole big travel cup full of lovely, aromatic, steaming hot Peets coffee.
AG (after Gary moved in), I'm lucky if I get two mugs in the morning before leaving for work and maybe a third of a travel cup. Oh, and the coffee in the the travel cup are the dregs from the bottom of the pot. Yccchh... French Roast dregs. Not good.
Not enough coffee...
I have this really great coffee maker... one of those timer/grinds the whole beans/brews the coffee into a stainless steel caraf types. I love it. AND Gary gave it to me as a birthday gift. It makes ten cups of coffee. In most households (and in my household BG), ten cups of coffee are quite enough. Not anymore.
I find myself hurrying to take him his first cup of the day while he is shaving. I carefully pour about two thirds of a cup for him... add the cream powder and a cube of sugar... smile, and deliver it. What I'm really smiling about is I'm thinking that I am being sneaky by filling it only two thirds of a cup full... heh Image More coffee for me!
Hey ! I know!! Maybe I'll have his travel mug "full" and ready for him to grab as he runs out the door for his 1.5 hour commute at 0630!!
Or, maybe I should go to work earlier than he does so I can have a FULL travel mug on my 15 minute ride to work.
Or, maybe I should add a BIG coffee maker to the bridal registry..... heh - the kind that is used for meetings at church!!
Or, maybe I'll just make a second pot (half full) later in the morning so that my poor fiance can have a whole cup of coffee in the morning. He's been wondering why he feels so tired lately.... shhhh.... don't tell him!
