Melissa at Such Simple Pleasures and Coleen at Manners and Moxie have this really cool “meme“. You go back in your archives, dig up an old blog post, repost it, and let it get some new love!
A Love Letter
October 11th, 2005
Dear Coffee,
Thank you for warming my hand. Thank you for making me feel nice and warm. And, thank you for waking me up.
I know that for many years I neglected you. I turned to cold bubbly caffeine-laden drinks with massive amounts of sugar. That was wrong! To think of all the time I wasted ordering double-doubles and mochas from Timmy’s. To think of all the sugar packets I added to my cup at Perkins. To think of all the mornings & nights I spent drowning myself in Coke and Pepsi. Oh, how I did you wrong.
Now, I know better. No longer do I mask your ambrosial flavor. No longer do I seek to defy your very existence. And someday I will seek to pay respect and homage to you in the ownership of my very own shop, dedicated to your greatness.
Your Ever Faithful Consumer,
Me

I’m a coffee lover as well though just a 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and cream is needed… I’m not sure I could or would want to live without it.

One day, I was out of cream and sugar, so I tried it black- I fell in love. Why was I trying so hard to cover up the taste? I’m on a mission for black coffee.

Chai tea… cream not milk. But the hand warming thing, is heavenly on a cold morning.

That was great! Happy SS!

I have a love affair with coffee too, only I do like to add a little cream. It enhances the flavor!
WHere are you hoping to open your own shop?
February 9th, 2008 at 9:44 am
Miss Sniz, it’s just a lifelong dream of mine. Maybe some day I will open one, and be able to incorporate my photography somehow.

I take mine black usually. But now and then I like a little cream or even a mocha. Great post.

Share your love. We met in college. We kept each other up all night…. still my constant companion..even though all the others have left….I’ll post a picture for you.
Cheers-

MUST have my coffee…if necessary, I’ll drink it black…but I love to make my own…the aroma of fresh-brewed coffee….YUM!

He he he - this was great. Ahhh coffee!
February 9th, 2008 at 12:40 pm
How funny. Just in the past few weeks I’ve started occasionally drinking my coffee black, and it was really good. Don’t get me wrong - lattes are still my favorite, but I’ve learned something.

I am completely jealous. I have only tried coffee twice and have not fallen in love. I have even been told I am not a true artist because true artists drink coffee. (Jokingly, of course)
I find my curiosity piqued because I find my favorite people love coffee and write blog posts about it as you have. I want to be a member of your fine club. Why does the attraction elude me? *sob*

What were you thinking?!! Poor coffee. I’ll always treat you right my great big mug of Chock Full o’ Nuts.
February 9th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
Ah, the power of coffee!

i kicked the bean a long time ago…and oh how there are days that i miss it!

Awesome!
February 9th, 2008 at 9:17 pm

I’m not a coffee drinker myself, but I live with someone who has your sentiments. I like my sugar-laden coca cola! I really enjoyed your post.
February 10th, 2008 at 5:01 am
Pepsi and Coke in the AM?? Ew! I’d rather drink tea *shudder*
February 10th, 2008 at 5:15 pm
I have a feeling if I piped up with what I drink and when, your blog would start shuddering and hurling. (And we can’t have THAT, now can we???!)
This letter was adorable.
