all grown up

My husband and I recently bought a coffee maker. A gorgeous Cuisinart stainless steel coffee maker. We can program it at night and wake up to the delicious smell of coffee - every morning! Just like the commercials in the 80's. No, it's not a new invention but up until now, we would go out for coffee; Coffee Bean, 7-Eleven, the mom & pop donut shop, etc. We finally realized that we could just as easily brew our own delicious coffee and not have to leave the house.

What was completely unexpected is how grown up and adult it feels to partake in the coffee ritual. I look forward to mornings now, drinking coffee and chatting with my husband. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside ...wait, maybe it's the coffee.
