Monday Coffee Talk

Good Monday morning everyone!  It's Monday.  All day long.  Make it a good one!   Our challenge today is to be teachable.  Being teachable at any age let's you gain wisdom and insight and also makes you aware of things you never would have known.  If we are not teachable, we'll end up putting ourselves in situations we may not want to be in.  Being teachable is a good thing.  ALWAYS!  So don't be a know it all.  Let yourself be teachable.  Listen.  You'll be glad you did! So, who's up this morning?  What cha sipping on?  Me?  It's Harry & David's leftovers.  The mix of several leftovers from bags that couldn't make a pot.  Guess what?  They are awesome together!  Coffee surprise!  Go figure!  HEHEHE Ya'll have a wonderful Monday and remember!  Be teachable!  Speaking of which, I better go get some studying done.  I have a test next week on a book and 6 lessons.  It's been a long time since I've had a test!    

I'm not a big coffee drinker, but when I do drink coffee, I prefer it to be flavored.  Other than getting flavored coffee from Dunkin' Donuts (where you can go sugar free)  or McDonald's (where you can't--but you can get their regular coffee without sugar), I do the flavoring myself using DaVinciGourmet sugar free and fat free syrups.  The flavors I've used in coffee include:Amaretto, Caramel, Chocolate, Creme de Menthe, English Toffee, French Vanilla, Hazlenut, Irish Cream, Kahlua, and Peppermint Paddy.  They make other nut flavors such as Almond, Macadamian, and Praline, but I personally think they are too weak in coffee.  They also make syrups to be used in ices, shakes, or just with water.  Just be sure to order the sugar free ones because they make all of the same flavors with sugar also.  I get mine from www.netrition.com and they only carry the sugar free.

Im in the pre-op stage, maybe i should say pre-pre-op stage since I'm still trying tog et the insurace to say yeah or nay.  But I'm trying the liquid diet to just see how it goes.  This stuff isn't that bad and is pretty filling.  The only thing I'm adding to the liquid diet is fruits.  I'm on day 2 and so far so good.  I'm also documenting all that I am doing to show the Dr. and nutritionist when I go to see them.
