Calling August Secret Sisters

I don't drink coffee or tea.

I do love Hot chocolate and I love mugs! I guess I am going to play so I can get some very cool mug. It is so much fun!

I don't think there is a price limit, but I think most people spend $10-20. I guess it depends on your own finances. I didn't realize the first month to throw extras in (if you want/can of course). I got my box and it was like Christmas in June!

I'm glad I can get OT at work! When I sent my info, I asked for flavored coffee. I'm the coffee wimp. I drink a lot- like three cups a day or more on weekdays, more on weekends if I'm sitting around in front of the computer, but when I make coffee, I count two cups for every measuring spoon. BF is the opposite- he fills the basket to the top, heaping, for a pot. That's why we have two identical really cool coffee makers sitting side by side on the counter...He won't even buy ground coffee- has to be whole beans, and he has to grind them the second before he brews it. I make a big pot- like 10-12 cups, and reheat all week. Well, as long as it lasts. At work, we have to drink yucky commercial coffee. So I make my secret recipe- two cups at a time! Two Splenda (used to do four sugars) two powdered creamers (used to be eight!) and a sprinkle of hot choc mix. Top off with ice! At home, I mix my flavored coffee (Santa's White Christmas, from Barnie's, mostly) with the Splenda and creamer and ice. not to make it cold, but to make it warm, and more dilute.

bf is very picky about his coffee. whole bean... not to strong or weak... i'm the nice one and make it for him. i love the smell of it, but not a fan of the taste. if i have a cup (usually on one of those very ssssslllllllooooowwww days) i need lots of cream and sugar.

but i drink my tea with a bit of honey or one lump of sugar.

When I sent my info, I was not certain what to send besides my name and address. I did indicate I like strong, black coffee. I prefer to grind my own beans, which I did not mention. I have a French Press, and drink strong, black, throughout the day. I am s serious coffee addict and I adore mugs.

I too PM-ed mountainpuddles, but having never done this before, I am not sure if I did it right. Coffee - Tea - don't matter to me. I like/drink both.

**DrBee** · 07-25-2006, 03:48 PM

I'm in! I used to drink coffee (have a french press and all), but now I pretty much just drink tea. So I'm going to request some yummy tea. I can't wait to get a new mug! Yippee!

**jeannierides** · 07-25-2006, 05:21 PM

ok, I'll play again too!

**laughlaugh18** · 07-25-2006, 05:47 PM

I'm in, too. First time playing. Seems like I'm the only one so far that's asking for decaf.

**extra-vert** · 07-25-2006, 07:34 PM

I'm in, what do I do? Who do I tell?

**Nanci** · 07-26-2006, 01:51 AM

Go to the very first post of this thread. On the left is the name Mountainpuddles. Click on that, and then you will get a bunch of choices- send her a private message with your name and address and what you would like to receive- coffee or tea.

Hey,
I want to play!! I am not sure how to but I love play. I love teas and coffee! How fun! What a neat idea.

Hey Laughlaugh,
I also asked for decaf, so don't feel alone!

**kerrybelle** · 07-26-2006, 10:34 AM

I'm in, too. I'd probably prefer hot chocolate or tea, but will take coffe as well. I love coffee, but decided to stop drinking it after being asked how many cups of coffee I drink in a day, by a breast specialist. I will have it on occassion though.
I love this secret sister exchange.....

Kerry, is that because you complained of tenderness? I've heard caffeine causes that.

**kerrybelle** · 07-26-2006, 11:45 AM

Nanci, yes I have two lumps (one one on each breast), they are painful, but not too bad. They aren't anything to worry about, both had needle biopsies. I think they are lipoma's or something

At my initial exam, the health history had the question about coffee. Also, asked about cigarettes and how much chocolate you eat in a week. I couldn't omit chocolate though, it's just too good

I just don't eat as much, which is good since I'm trting to watch my sugar intake.

Thanks for asking.

Kerry
