You know you drink too much coffee when...

1. Juan Valdez names his mule after you.

2. You chew on your roommate's fingernails.

3. You can jump-start your car without cables.

4. You do twenty miles on your treadmill before you realize it's not plugged in.

5. You can't remember your second cup.

6. You have a picture of your coffeemug on your coffee mug.

7. Starbucks has a mortgage on your house.

8. Your birthday is a national holiday in Brazil.

9. You don't sweat -- you percolate.

10. You grind coffee beans in your mouth.

The coffee pot

Well I walk in every morning to work and I can smell the scent of coffee in the air. When I first started working at my job, there was always two pots of coffee on the counter, but about a month ago it was changed to one. That was good news since before you had a 50/50 chance you were not drinking the coffee made yesterday or hours before.

I just wonder how certain people actualy sleep at night. I see them with a mug in their hand all day. They have to have caffine in their veins 24/7. When these people see an empty pot, they freak out since they have to wait an extra minute to get their coffee. At least it is fresh, but it does not seem to matter.

There are some people that leave their coffee just sit there and get cold. I have no clue how they can even stick that in their mouths! There are the people that stick ice cubes in their coffee, you have people that use half of the sugar container, you have people that drink it black, and you got the people who use enough cream to dry out a cow.

Now I am lucky if I drink one cup of Java a day. I perfer my big blue glass of iced tea that I make from the canister. But if I do drink coffee, it is with creamer and no sugar.
