    Ants in the Keurig Means No Coffee in the Momma

    If I seem a little stabby today, it’s because my caffeine levels are low. You see, there are ants in my Keurig.   Now, apparently if you live somewhere sugar ants can be a problem, this is NOT an altogether unusual thing, at least not according to Google. (Also – you probably found this post after a Google search, and I’m sorry, because the results it provides are kind of gross.) Let me back things up a bit. Last week, I noticed the occasional, teeny, tiny sugar ant wandering on my desk. I would promptly dispatch him from his simple life, then clear off my desk in a panic trying…

    Wake-up Call

    At 6:02 this morning, I was woken by a nudge in the back and a wet nose in my ear – the dog, looking for her breakfast and a play with the ball.

    Coffee is a Food Group. Isn’t it?

    Coffee….oh my, how I love coffee. *excuse me while I have a sip* Do you know what I like even better? A latte. Sitting in a cafe or coffee shop. Out of my house. Which probably needs cleaning. It’s funny how some of us need coffee. In the mornings, I can’t function without a big cup of coffee! I even read an article (DailyBayonet – 5 Tips how to make a great Espresso) to learn how to make my own espresso’s in the morning. I seriously love coffee! Now, the Hubs – he cannot drink coffee on an empty stomach. But he has a delicate constitution. Which means more coffee…
