Nectar of the gods

Coffee warms my heart

Add some milk, maybe sugar

And never should us ever part!

My addiction to coffee is well-known in my family. I’ve been drinking it since I was three, but grandmother did start me out on coffee-milk. More milk than coffee. Pair that with some of my uncles working for Coke, and they created a caffeine addict. I’m healthier today, thank goodness, and limit myself to one big cup of coffee a day and I only drink Coke 0 if I drink it at all. (and my “sugar” is actually Stevia. :)

Thanks to Ana-Maria Schweitzer for the nice prompt, and Kathy, Harper, and the rest of the Chalkboard team!!
