National Coffee Day – September 29:

I can't stop drinking the coffee.

If I stop drinking the coffee, I stop doing the standing and the walking and the words-putting-into-sentence doing.

NOOOOOO not the coffee!  I need that to live!

OK, two words - need coffee.

I think, therefore I've had my coffee.

Coffee has a unique aroma that makes you forget how painful it is to be awake.

The coffee I ordered just came in. That should last me for about a week.

Procaffeinating (n.) the tendency to not start anything until you've had a cup of coffee.

When you order a coffee and they ask, "decaf or regular?"

Coffee? Only one cup please ...

/

Give me a minute. I'm waiting for my coffee to kick in.

Lord, give me the coffee to change the things I can .... and music to accept the things I can't.

First I drink the coffee, then I do the stuff.
