Usually at this time of the day I am sitting back with a cup of heavily creamed coffee, putting up my feet and relaxing until the baby wakes up. This is a part of the day I look forward to the most, dog is lightly snoring in his crate, all is silent. The only sound I hear is the incessant hammering and jigsawing coming from the soon to be built house next door.
You know I was told about 3 months ago that this house would be up in a few weeks and all the NOISE would end, yeah right!!! Anyway that is another topic, back to coffee.
I have finally admitted I have a problem with coffee creamer. I am sure I have added a "few" extra pounds to my weight with creamer along. So I had a idea, reduce the cream, that seemed simple enough. Why is it that coffee without incredible amounts of sugar and other edible oil additives tastes like burnt dirt? I can't do it, I NEED all that hydrogenated goodness so I can enjoy my afternoon alone mommy time and it goes without saying an addict, going cold turkey, has withdrawal and I hate that dang headache.
So after watching Dr.Oz one afternoon he talked about tea and all the health benefits, and I thought, OK I'll give it a try. I have been drinking it for about a week now and I actually enjoy it. I was drinking green tea for the first while and I never got the headache, yahoo!!
So with my new found love for tea I am hoping the extra pounds I have poured on will soon melt away.... Ah if only it were that easy.

Is it the really good flavored creamers?? LOL! That is some addictive stuff, you are right. I've tried the green tea and hated it. I can semi-enjoy the chai tea, but with lots of sugar.
My real addiction is General Foods International Coffee - Cafe Francais to be specific. I try to limit myself to 2 cups/day, but it is difficult. I do love the quiet time of the day.....just me, coffee and a good book!
I hear you Cocotte, nothing seems as relaxing then being curled up on the couch, with a book, blanket and a hot cup of Java.... ok I just may go make a pot, put the kids in front of the tv in the basement and recling with a good book! I am weak...LOL
My favorite flavour is International Delight hazelnut... soooo good!!
Just so you know... reading this made me get up and make a pot o joe. *sigh*
And I totally wish for some time to tackle a good book or two. Any suggestions?
I LOVED 'The Glass Castle' by Jeanette Walls.
