Enjoy a cup or two of coffee (or tea) every day, if you please. Just be sure that if you add anything to the brew — like cream, sugar, or cocoa powder — you take those calories into account. What’s more, those calories might not make you feel as full as the same number of calories eaten in solid form.

Another coffee concern is sleep disruption, which new evidence reveals is linked to weight control. At least two studies have shown that when people are sleep-deprived, they produce more of the hormone ghrelin, an appetite stimulant, and less leptin, an appetite suppressant.

I hate a bathroom that stinks, smelly one, yuck!!  I always find a way to clean it everyday, just before taking my shower.  I spent 2 to 3 hours inside the bathroom including my bathing time.

I am obsessed in making it fresh smelling.  Tried all the scent available in the market.  But since air fresheners are getting expensive nowadays,  I thought of something cheap…..the coffee granules.

I placed about 1/4 cup of granules on a saucer and let it sit inside the bathroom.  Everytime I open the door, the smell of a fresh coffee envelopes the area.  What a nice smelling place. And it is cheaper…..

Even in our living room and kitchen area we use it too. Another way of being frugal.

Yesterday Starbucks was giving away free coffee to voters, then later changed it to everyone.  I thought that was good since 1/2 of New Mexicans voted early so it was not fair to have to show an “I Voted” sticker.  Well, I didn’t go get a coffee since I’m not addicted to coffee or anything.  But today as I was cleaning, I thought, I should make some coffee.

So I made one of those pods and using my Coffemate creamer I got free, in the Caramel flavor, I poured some into my coffee with Sweet-n-Low (since I was out of Splenda) and tried it.  Not bad.  I’m still not addicted, though.

The stimulant became fashionable throughout Europe. By the late seventeenth century, the drink was enjoyed under numerous names—English coffee, French and Spanish café, German koffee, Finnish kahvi, Dutch koffie, Swedish and Norwegian kaffe, Russian kofe, Polish kawa, and even Yiddish kave.

As the drink traveled around the world, it was given more names—Japanese koohii, Malay kopi, Mayan kaape, Thai gafae, Tagalog (Philippine) kape, Punjabi (India) kaafii, Hindi kofii, Hopi kaphe, and Navajo gohwééh—all phonetic derivations from the Arabic qahwah.

Linnaeus really did not have much of a choice but to Latinize the name to Coffea [cof’ fee]. The species was given the epithet, arabica, for everyone ‘knew’ the trees grew in Arabia. While the world believed coffee came from Arabia, the Arabian name appears to have been for the origin, the Kaffa district of Ethiopia.

I think I have at least one of every coffee cups from Starbucks that has been and is currently out there. When I was in California and went to Pete’s coffee, they had a lot of unusual accessories. For example, there were hand painted dishes and coffee cups. I found that to be a little different to be displayed in a coffee house for sale. I see that in dept. stores, but not in a coffee house.

As much as I love Gevalia coffee, I alsways see them advertising their coffee pots, but I don’t have one as of yet. Maybe I need to put that on my Christmas list this year.

I am the only person that drinks coffee at my house and my husband surprised me with a 1 cup coffee maker last Christmas. I absolutely love it! I no longer have to make a pot a coffee and feel obligated to try and drink all of it so that it won’t waste. I just use a pod for 1 cup and I’m off!

I’m sure I will get some type of coffee gift for Christmas again this year….great idea!
