Just Simply Holly

We had a moment earlier that started out scary, but turned out funny! We had just finished eating dinner and my husband and I sat down to grab a smoke before heading outside with the dogs. He decided to take a drink of his coffee before getting up from his desk and somehow the coffee managed to go down the wrong pipe. The next thing I knew he spit coffee EVERYWHERE and was choking.

I got up and ran over him to make sure he was going to be OK, but by that time he was laughing his butt off and assuring me that he was fine. Since I had just had the crap scared out of me, I was having a hard time accepting that he was laughing until he pointed down to the floor by his desk. I looked down and there was Riley, our white Labrador Retriever, COVERED in coffee, just laying on the floor, licking up the coffee around him. He wasn’t one bit alarmed by what just happened, he was just happy that he was getting one of his favorite treats…LOL!

After we got the mess cleaned up I told my husband that we’d better start checking out life insurance rates because if he did something like that again, I was going to end up dying of a heart attack. Yes, we can laugh about it now, but at the time it was happening, I was terrified!

I’ll be the first to admit that my husband and I are HUGE coffee drinkers. During the colder months we easily drink an average of 4 pots of coffee a day on the weekends and usually 2 a day during the week. Occasionally I’ll stop at a coffee shop for coffee and when I do I always order a cafe latte! The funny thing about that is the fact that when drinking coffee at home I always put cream and sugar in my coffee, but a cafe latte is unsweetened. I’ve been thinking about purchasing a capresso coffee maker so that rather than spending the money at a coffee shop, I can make my own cafe lattes at home. Although they are a bit pricier than your basic coffee maker, I think in time I’d end up saving enough money that I’d more than pay for the investment.
