GTKY-- ::yawn:: Coffee

How do you take your coffee?  



Or, if you don't drink it, do you have another favorite hot drink?
Just curious on this Monday morning following a looooong weekend.



Me:   Milk and spoonful of sugar.  I'm slowly working my way towards black because I really don't need the extra calories.

I did milk and sugar for years but recently discovered flavored creamers. Now milk and sugar doesn't do it for me.

At work, I usually have cream and sugar and at home I have just flavored creamer.  I can drink coffee black, but it's not my first choice.



TTC #1 since August 2011
September 2012: Start IF testing
DH: SA is good
Me: CD 3 blood work is good, HSG all clear, 7 DPO blood work shows low progesterone
October 2012: Clomid + IUI = BFN
December 2012: Consultation with RE#1. Not impressed with RE#1.
January 2013: Consultation with RE#2
January 2013: CF screening shows that I am a carrier of CF. Thankfully, DH's screening shows that he is not a carrier of CF. Sperm antibody tests are negative for both of us. According to our RE we are Unexplained IF
March 2013: Post coital tests show possible hostile CM. So, maybe not so unexplained?
April 2013: Unmedicated IUI after yet another bad bad PCT. = BFN
Cultures find a bacterial infection that could harm fertility, DH and I both start antibiotics.
May 2013: Clomid + Trigger + IUI

Black with two splenda (or stevia if it's available).  I used to take it with milk but cut that out when I was on Weight Watchers, since coffee/splenda were 0 points.  Now I can't have milk in it at all, it grosses me out.  My mom once took a sip of my coffee and almost threw up- it's probably really gross to everyone else but I love it!

How do you take your coffee? One packet of Splenda, and an unnecessary amount of creamer. Right now I'm using the salted caramel mocha one, it's amazing!

Or, if you don't drink it, do you have another favorite hot drink? I also like hot apple cider, hot cocoa, and all different kinds of tea. This is MI, it's cold enough for a hot drink throughout the year!
Just curious on this Monday morning following a looooong weekend.

Me:   Milk and spoonful of sugar.  I'm slowly working my way towards black because I really don't need the extra calories. Blech, I say live a little. I cut calories elsewhere to make my coffee more enjoyable. I only have two cups a day, so adding delicious things to those cups isn't terrible. I skip the fancy coffees from Starbucks, McDonald's, Tim Horton's, etc. because they're far worse than what I make at home.

My husband loves coffee. I got him a Keurig for Father's Day a year or so ago. I try to like coffee, I just can't! Although Caramel Frappe's from Starbucks/Mcdonalds are delicious! ;)

I don't drink coffee or tea or anything like that. I'm a water, juice, or milk kind of person. I do occasionally drink a hot chocolate though.

At home I do it black. I do love it with real cream but I save that for if I happen to have cream in the fridge for something else.
If we grab a coffee at starbucks or something I might get something flavored.

Hubby and I have never acquired the taste for coffee, much to my parents' disappointment...they're huge black coffee drinkers and still always trying to convert us!

We do drink lots of tea, many flavours, although my standby fave is always earl grey. I make a mean London Fog!

Starbucks is my favorite.  I became a hardcore addict in law school spending like $10 a day on the stuff.  I got better about it and then back slid into my addiction.  NF caramel macchiato is where it's at.  This time of year I also like a peppermint latte.  My habit today is approx. $4 per day :( 

 at home I have a keurig  which I love bc DH doesn't drink coffee, so it's nice to not make a whole pot.  I love the coconut cream and Italian sweet cream flavors by coffee mate.

I've never been a coffee drinker, or tea.  My favorite hot drink is hot chocolate with whipped cream from Dunkin' Donuts.
