Teafee

I feel sleep deprived terrible today. I don't think caffeine does anything for me, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to consume a lot of it ... just in case it does. "What'll it be?" I thought, "Coffee or tea?" Then I remembered Jennie's post on the topic and our subsequent comment exchange about trying a coffee/tea blend.

I went downstairs, steeped a standard teabag in 4 ounces of hot water, added another 4 ounces or so of coffee, 2 packets of sugar, and, since there was no fatty dairy left, a splash of 2% milk.

It tastes like ... coffee plus tea? Nothing special. It's just funny flavored tea with a mostly coffee aftertaste. I don't think I like it any more or less than either one alone.

What I really need is to go for a walk, perhaps to the nearby gas station, where I can pick up some chocolate. Mmm ... chocolate.

I used to be addicted to this...this might taste better. Take a cup of coffee and dump a half packet of hot cocoa mix, and one of those flavored coffeemates in (hazelnut was always my fav). Instant caffeine/sugar high! :)

Mmm, hazelnut mocha! Sounds yummy. Wait, you guys get flavored coffeemates at your company? I'm missing out!
