The sad part about this, is that I am guilty of all of the above at least one time in the past!

I remember the first holiday my parents came for dinner after we were married. My mom asked "where's the coffee?" I said "probably at your house" I couldn't make a cup of coffee if my life depended on it. Now tea...that's my weakness.Sabrina L.

No wonder you have bruises on your arm. <br><br>I skip the 2-3 cups and make a bee line for the espresso machine to whip up what is fondly known around these parts as "Jeanne's bucket o' latte."
