Knock, knock, knock, anybody here?
I just finished my second iced café au lait. I think I'll call it quits on coffee for today.

I keep trying to get myself out to do more than just grocery shopping. There is a coffee shop about 15 miles from here that offers a MA roasted coffee, Dean's Beans. I'm eager to try a cup or three of their varieties because I'm getting a little tired of Green Mountain. After a dozen or more years of being in GM's Cafe Express club everything is tasting alike to me. Time to give the ol' taste buds a change. Maybe next week...

The last time I checked the kitties were doing fine. They are still as feisty as ever and full of play. 
Shrek picked up some Jamaican Blue Mountain, whole bean. We put it in the solofil cups and into the Keurig. Was perfectly ground and tasted so good.
I'm still floating around. Just too crabby to post most days. Getting better.

I tried Chai tea for the first time a couple weeks ago and I LOVED it! In general, I don't like tea - it usually has really weak flavor, to me. The only other one I enjoyed was mint tea.
But I love spices and the mixture of cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, fresh ginger, star anise and black peppercorns steeped with a little black tea, then mixed with milk and honey was amazing. So good, I asked DH to buy some black tea since I already had all the spices. He was overwhelmed by the choices, so he decided to buy a box of chai tea bags.
Oh, well. I'll drink those and then get some black tea myself.

Does anyone else drink chai tea?

I do. I love chai. I actually prefer mine without milk and honey most of the time.

I'm guessing you have probably seen this already. It's been pretty viral on TV here and also online. BUT, in case you haven't, it's a really cute take-off on a popular song from Disney's "Frozen" movie. Thanks to a friend with small kids I've probably seen every parody of "Let It Go", but this one is more appropriate for the coffee room. The original song is "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" Enjoy! I did...but then, I'm one of those "theatre people".

Stopped by a little while ago to scritch the kitties. With LittleBit gone I need a kitty-fix at times. Meanwhile, in case you were wondering, this pretty much sums my day up today:

I can "officially" join the coffee clatch! My Keurig Rivo Espresso machine arrived on Friday and I practiced with it on the weekend. I am only able to use decaf espresso, but I can once again enjoy my lattes in the morning. 
No kidding, I needed at least another 6 cups for today.

LP, you could have joined before you got the Keurig, although I'm happy that you can enjoy your beans again. But tea drinkers are welcome, and they had better let those few of us who still don't have (or want) a Keurig stop by here too. In fact, I've not only declared our house Keurig free, I'm about to make it Green Mountain free. Moving on to a smaller, more personal bean pusher. Good coffee, better prices, what's not to love?I can "officially" join the coffee clatch! My Keurig Rivo Espresso machine arrived on Friday and I practiced with it on the weekend.

Oh, I know that CG!
It is just that it would be hard hanging around knowing others were enjoying their cup of java and I couldn't! I am surprisingly better with espresso than regular coffee (decaf or not). I get headaches from the caffeine. But lattes with the espresso and lots of milk doesn't bother me so much....unless I have six a day PF!
