Feeding the Addiction


Coffee is the necessity of life right now.

Actually, the MOCHA.

Nick and I have always loved and craved the occasional mocha and even got into the habit of walking to the local coffee shop every Saturday and Sunday mornings for the past couple years for our mocha treat.

Now that we are onto the 2nd month of averaging 4-5 hours of sleep each night, the "occasional" mocha treat has evolved. It is no longer considered a treat. It has become our lifeline. We need the mocha to stay alive and function as normal people, and now we have one EVERY morning.

This new addiction can not just be blamed on the twins. Nope. My parents and my sister are mostly to blame for feeding the addiction. My parents decided they needed a new espresso machine a couple weeks ago. Therefore, they gave us their old machine as a present for our new kitchen. Then, they gave us lessons on how to make the tastiest mocha (just the right ratio of chocolate to espresso). So, we were set up for our addiction. BUT, that's not all. Shalene works at the DBC (Dunn Bros Coffee). She gets FREE bags of espresso each week, and she gives them to us!


FREE espresso machine and FREE beans-
Talk about feeding the addiction! It's like giving free drugs to the junkies! We're so sleep deprived we can't say NO to the free mochas...so we drink.

Thank you to Connie, Kevin & Shalene...


Cheers!
