I’ve enjoyed getting to know you through your blogs here. I thought I would reply here about your being a non-coffee drinker. I said the very same thing about having made it through college without starting and was not embibing until the whole coffee shop gig hit it big. I was over 40 when I started. At first it was just mochas, then eventually I moved toward creamed coffee, to now being nearly black. I prefer de-caf, don’t care for the buzz. Steve and I consider ourselves coffee snobs now, with our bean grinder and French press at home. Steve is thankful he can enjoy conversing with me over an aromatic fresh cup, now he’s working on getting me to enjoy beer. Don’t think that’s gonna happen.
Glad you’re at Hope and look forward to getting to know you better.
We too have a daughter in heaven. We only knew of her presence growing in my womb for a week before she left us. So not quite the same as your having known and anticipated life with Felicity. God did give me a dream though a few days before I miscarried and I was arguing with him over her name. The dream was all about “Melissa”, and I kept saying no, it’s suppose to be “Michelle” as that was the name Steve always wanted to name his daughter. So, though this isn’t an absolute that I have a daughter yet to meet, I hold this dream close to my heart.

Had to chime in: I don’t drink coffee OR tea, and was getting tired of drinking Diet Mt. Dew on cold winter days for a little caffeine. Then last year I found “my” thing — Caffeinated Hot Cocoa! By Swiss Miss. It’s called “Pick-me Up”, I think. Awesomeness.

I am not a coffee drinker, either. I’ve tried to like it a couple of times, but I just don’t get it. I do like the smell, though. And the cartoon was cute. If nothing else, I now know what the difference is between all those coffee drinks.

Hi Molly,

I drink coffee and love it, and I love you!

That George Washington quote pretty much made my day, and if I feel sad tomorrow, I will think of that quote and laugh. I love having a jr. high sense of humor, it makes life so much more fun!

so awesome molly. i love that kind of thing. the americano fact was particularly interesting, because i love those and i didn’t know whey they were called that. i know that there are people like you who don’t like coffee, but for some reason i just can’t believe that it’s true! i can’t wrap my brain around that one! it’s like not liking ice cream. now all of this thinking about coffee is making me want to go brew a pot! i think i will.

I won’t judge you for not drinking coffee. Especially since you shared that hilarious cartoon. :)

I have a good friend who made it through college and med school without coffee. She actually drinks Ovaltine every morning.

I can’t stand coffee, but I, too, love tea. This could prove a bit problematic when moving to Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee. Maybe I can acquire a taste for the stuff.

You should try a London Fog. It’s a speciality tea, but it’s amazing!

I hate coffee too. Trust me Molly, it’s a good thing. Most coffee beans are picked by children that are slaves. Unless you buy fair trade.

Same here – Love the smell, hate the taste (except for Mocha, chocolate and just about anything is good). But I am quite fond of tea.

7 years ago, when I had graduated college and was just starting my first real job, my Nana make a connection between being a coffee drinker and having ‘grown up’ and it made me wonder, – ‘will I ever really be a grown-up without coffee?’ I have gotten over that – mostly – and know I can sit *smugly* on Sunday morning as folks talk about needing there coffee fix, =)

Molly,
I just saw that you are pregnant… praise God! What exciting news. I will pray for that precious little one growing inside of you:)

By the way, I don’t like coffee either:)
