Coffee

My love affair with coffee began when I was in college. I used to be one of those people who couldn't stand the taste of coffee let alone the smell of it.

Then in college homework kicked in hard core, so as a result of being up late working on papers and having to get up early to go to classes and doing everything else I did in college I began drinking coffee. My brain was like ok missy we need to do something to counteract this tiredness, as alas the love affair began. At that point it wasn't quite a love affair more like obligation.

Then after college I began working at a group home when I NEVER got any sleep. I worked with kids who were about to age out of the system and dale house was the last stop for them to learn how to become an adult at the tender age of 18. These kids were getting out of jail or the human services system so needless to say living with them and having to be a parent/friend and making sure they didn't sneak out and do many other things was interesting.

So sleep was even more limited there, thus the obligation to coffee moves into strong like at this point.

Then I went from dale house right into law enforcement as a victim advocate. So we would be the second people to show up to a call/crime scene and assist the victims in whatever way needed. So that was process opened doors to katie seeing lots of things that no one can prepare for. This is when coffee and I turned our relationship serious, had a define the relationship talk and it became a love affair :)

Know I am a forensic interviewer for kids who have been abused and help out in criminal investigations and thus the coffee love affair continues.

Recently I have been told that to really enjoy my coffee I need to grind the beans in a grinder every night so it doesn't bring the oil out of the beans when I get them all ground together and put them in the freezer.

So I have been waiting to get a grinder this week and every morning when I wake up this week have been looking at the bag of whole beans I have and no grinder.

They laugh at me, saying you know you want to drink me. I taste so good in your mouth. Laughing at me.

So today after about the 5th day of no good coffee I was desperate and went downstairs and talking to my friend at work about it and she said I will buy you whatever you want if you run to starbucks and get me my drink.

ok, I am game. So today went and got free coffee

then

my other friend at work brought me in a crossaint wich from BK,

What a great day!
