...is a steaming cup of coffee that I can sit & enjoy while watching something on TV, chatting with a friend, reading, etc. (Remember a WAAAAAAYYYYY earlier post when I said I was just doing that, shortly after quitting my job??) Well, now that Hannah is Little Miss Busy-Pants, I am not able to drink more than a couple sips without the coffee turning warmish--lukewarm--cool--and finally cold. Since I am a mom, I am not above reheating it in the microwave (although before becoming a mom, I would have scoffed at that very idea as disgusting), but I do wonder what happen to the days of having to sip gingerly on my coffee because it was TOO hot. It doesn't take much to cool my coffee (a crashing sound in the next room; a realization that the laundry must be switched over--and when you are dealing with diapers that MUST be transferred to the dryer because Hannah is wearing the last one in the house, it is an emergency situation--; or just that it is too plain quiet & I need to check to see what Hannah has found to play with (see my post "Why is it so quiet?" for more on that.) When I finally get to sitting (or standing) to drink my coffee, I usually have to sort of gulp it down, which is not the most enjoyable way of consuming it.
Needless to say, tonight I am going out with my good friend Kara, and we are going to Starbucks. I am going to be one of "those people" that asks for her mocha EXTRA hot (as in, scald-my-mouth-if-I-drink-it-too-fast-hot) in a "for here" cup & savors every last drop.
