Its Starting to Look a Bit Like Fall

Fall fall fall. My favorite season of all.

I'm sure I've mentioned this before. How could anyone not like fall? The leaves change to these wonderful colors. The weather is just right with the sun shining but not burning. Its the perfect temperature to cuddle. And although I drink coffee and tea regardless of the season, something about fall makes these hot beverages extra wonderful. Besides food and drinks, there's the fashion to admire. Fall jackets, wool coats, parkas... they're my absolute favorite article of clothing. Next to the boots whether ankle or knee high.

The ultimate best part of fall of course? SEASON PREMIERS!!! I just badly need to know which Stark would be dying next. Or if Jo and Alex would be the only happy ending from last season's Grey's. In fact, I'm still trying to figure out how the women from Walking Dead are surviving without tampons and pads... and if they are extra vulnerable during their time of the month? Its also been so long since I've last seen my TV hubby Jensen Ackles, better known as Dean Winchester. Will they be revealing a new clone to join Orphan Black's clone club... although I really am liking the change in dynamics by adding the ditzy one.

Oh fall. I do hope you come sooner and stay longer.

Frankly. I'm done with wearing shorts and flip flops. And if I may be an honest woman... lemme just say shaving every damn day just to go out, even if its just grocery shopping, truly sucks. Especially when you now got a niece who's old enough to complain about "pokey" legs.

Coffee shmoffee

I've been drinking coffee since I was 11 years old.

I remembering seeing my parents everyday making their own coffee every morning before heading to work. They take their mugs spoon in some ground coffee, add sugar and maybe some cream. I figure this must be something only adults drink since not once have they offered me a taste. One day, when both my parents were gone, I decided to make my own drink. I felt like such a big girl because I'll be drinking coffee for the first time. I got a mug and added 2 spoonfuls of ground coffee, spoonful of sugar and spoonful of cream. I slowly add hot water and began stirring. It smelled really nice. I took a small sip so that I don't burn my tongue but that one sip was enough to make me gag.

Why didn't anyone tell me to put only 1/4 (or 1/2) spoonful of ground coffee. I seriously thought it'd be the same as making my own Milo or Ovaltine chocolate drink. Needless to say, it took a while before I decided to drink coffee again. 11 years old seemed liked the right age to retry.

Now I drink 2-7 cups a week. Not to stay awake or keep the withdrawal symptoms away. It's just one of my favorite hot drinks. However, despite this classic coffeeholic habits of mine, I actually do not know what the difference between some coffee drinks are. I don't necessarily feel (taste?) that one has a stronger taste than the other. Drip coffee all taste the same to me. Latte and cappuccino do too, except I think cappuccino is foamier.

So I'm really glad to see my sister post this:

It gives me an idea now. Plus this is the first time I heard of doppio. Kinda cool but I'm not sure I'm ready to try it. I do know I am a latte person.
