A little coffee chat.

Coffee.

When I need to catch up with someone and have the time — it’s always a quick cup of coffee at the local coffee house.

When I need a neutral site for an interview — it’s always over a cup of Joe at the local java palace.

I’m obsessive about collecting coffee mugs.

I get excited about caressing the curve of a coffee cup like men must fantasize about fondling the curve in the small of a woman’s back.

And it needs to feel right. Very warm. No tepid cups need apply.  Not too big, not too small. The handle need not be too thick or too thin.

I’ve got mug issues.

No doubt when linking up with MamaKat this week I had to select prompt:
1.) Friends are on their way to your house for a coffee date…what kind of afternoon can they expect with you?

 

First, I’ll answer the door out of breath because I’ll have way underestimated the time and stamina needed to straighten my house.

Then we’ll go to my $9.96 coffee maker that I just bought. I buy a new one every six months so this time I thought why spent a lot of money?

My son says it’s too small. My husband said it looks like it is made out cardboard. Which it might be, but I’ve started to feel at home with its quirkiness.

And so far, it makes perfectly fine coffee.

Second you’ll pick out a mug.

Right now I have all my Christmas ones out.

I drink mine black but I try to have milk and sweetener for my guests.

If it’s nice we’ll go sit on the porch. If not we’ll sit in whatever room looks the straightest.

The dog will come and bother you to death. So I hope you are a dog person.

Then we’ll talk whichever way the wind blows our conversation.

Right now, I’d probably start in on money and the holidays.

What do you think? What would you talk about over coffee?
