these vices of mine

June 12, 2012 by Adrienne

I’m attempting to drink my coffee black. I’m normally a three sugars and four cream kind of coffee drinker. I thought that cutting back on the calories in my coffee would be an easy switch.

It’s not.

Taste aside, I’ve burned my mouth thoroughly. Turns out, cold cream cools down hot coffee. Who would have thought?

But the taste. Really, now. It’s awful. Apparently I’ve been drinking coffee for the cream and sugar all these years.

Moving on. Gonna have to cut calories elsewhere, I guess. My nightly ice cream is my reward after a long day with six kids. My morning coffee is the only reason those six kids survive until bed so I can have my nightly ice cream. Oh dear. Who would have known food could be such a coping mechanism? It’s ridiculous. Time to find a new hobby. And some cream non-fat creamer.
