Goooooood morning all! My coffee this morning consists of a big bowl of cheerios, not quite what I was after in regards to waking up, but I'll adjust this issue in due time with a mug full of Brazilian roast

Sorry I've been on the silent side the last couple weeks, I haven't had much time to get online now that I have a second job. But wait! Totally worthy excuse and related to this very thread itself: this second job of which I speak is at none other than a local coffee shop, where I gets me lotsa fantastic coffee stuffs (while on shift anyway) for free Plus, the bi weekly paychecks from both of my jobs ended up getting staggered so I now get a paycheck once a week, plus the tips peppered in here and there from the coffee shop; man life is good

^ I love white mocha. I swear, it makes anything taste good!

About to have my first cup of the day. Plain with some sugar.

^ You ever have a tan mocha? Its the best of both worlds; half white chocolate, half dark, pure amazingness

Cragman- never thought to try that. I'm not a big fan of the white chocolate mochas, but I love the regular with dark chocolate. Next time I head to get some coffee, I'm going to try it...

I think you'll be quite surprised at how smooth and delicious it is. I did the same thing, was always all about just the dark chocolate and not a huge fan of just a white mocha and then someone recommended trying the tan mocha and it blew my mind, definitely try it and let us know what you think.

I think it's also called the zebra mocha. Yeah, I've tried it. They both complement each other and just make the taste THAT much better! It's really rare for me to drink anything that has either mocha or white mocha in it, calorie kills!

I'm about to down a late night cup of coffee right now. It has been a great day so far. Only 2 more days before the weekend starts!

I tried the tan/ zebra last night shortly after my post, and it was quite nice. But, like Krip said, lot of cals in them mamma-jammas.

Got off work this morning and went back to the tent. It's at least 95 in the tents during the day, even with 6 AC's blowing full blast. So, I decide I will just go to sleep sweaty and shower when I get up for work. Slept like crap and woke up an hour earlier than I intended because day shift was filtering back in and voila, I'm awake. Go to take a shower and the AC is broke in there, and the damn shower trailer looks like it hasn't been cleaned in a few days. 60 something dudes, AND third country nationals all using the same shower trailer, and no one is cleaning it? As you can imagine, it's getting quite nasty in there. So, my night is off to a shitty start, and it's way to early to go to work, so I decide to head to the sandwich shop for a bite and go to the coffee shop.

I ordered a 4 shot mocha frappe and drank it while sitting in the AC. For some reaon, my night just doesn't seem so bad anymore

Happy 4th... rock on, damnit. Someone drink a cold one for me (beer, I hate iced coffee).
