Looks like a plain boring cup of coffee, right? Exactly.
Let me explain, I have always wanted to like coffee. Throughout high school and college it seemed like the "cool" thing to do. I went to a college full of Swedes- coffee was a way of life and something that was consumed 24/7. And yet, I really hated it. I figured coffee was like beer and in time what I once thought was totally disgusting would suddenly transform into something I loved. But it didn't. At 27 years old, I had pretty much given up on being the cool coffee drinker I had always sought out to be. And then came Calvin. Blame it on the hormones or the sleepless nights but I decided to give coffee one last chance. And then it happened, the realization that COFFEE IS FREAKIN' AMAZING! I am now one of "those people". The people that are out getting coffee early in the morning and chugging decaf in the evenings. Gone are the days of chai tea and apple ciders, I'll have a coffee- black- because I'm cool and hardcore like that.
(I know this post is probably the most ridiculous thing I have even written but I just had to let the world know that I am finally cool, even if I am coming into my coolness 10 years too late.)
Personally, I love this. I am that person too - maybe after having a few kiddos of my own I will grow into my very own brand of coolness!
ReplyDeleteOh Jessica! You have left me in the dust! I will sip my English Breakfast all by my lonesome... I have not yet arrived and at this point in the game will probably not ever. I do extend my congratulations to your awesome achievement! Truly!
ReplyDeletei must say, i am proud! although, i cannot yet bring myself to drink it black and i've been consuming it for about 23 of my 28 years of life (probably quite literally----thanks dad).......cream and sugar it is for me.....and all the other sweet flavors that are added to coffee/espresso. kudos to calvin for transforming your life in yet another way---let's just hope that if there is another little ondrey-to-be someday, that he/she does not reverse this accomplishment!
