Wow today I am in a mood to write, write, write, and I hold the double shot espresso I had after 10 pm completely responsible for it.
You see my brother has a thing for espresso...make that caffeine...period! But he especially has a soft spot for espresso. It all started when he needed a "WAKE ME UP" when he use to work at 5 am. During his break he would chug TWO double shot's of espresso! Yes, he is one crazy man. Anyway, that was when he worked at an establishment that was actually supplied with an espresso machine. These day's, working in the family business he needn't wake so early, therefore the need for "espresso" isn't so strong. Instead, we would go to starbucks after work and get our fix...
...however I am not a big COFFEE person so I technically don't need a "fix".
Anyway, since starbucks is so far out of our way, and the fact that soon he will have to be waking up early again he had been in much yearning for an Espresso machine.
Guess what he got for Eid?
That's correct...an Espresso machine!
You can JUST imagine the fun he's been having with his new "toy". Yes, correct again...LOADS! Honestly, one comes in to work and he asks, "Can I make you an espresso?" It's really quite funny, i keep telling him that his calling is not with food (he is a chef) but with a nice coffee bean plantation in Columbia. I think he quite likes that idea...
Anyway, so since I tend to be quite the procrastinator I decided to leave some homework to the last minute. I know....mothers out there, scold away! Well I had been working on it all day and have not yet finished, therefore before coming home to finish I asked him to make me an espresso. There are two things (I do not know there names) one for a single shot and one for a double, well kind brother that I have decided to make me a double. MAN!!!!!!! Who drinks this stuff...honestly? People drink this quite often...why? Why would you do that to yourself?? Seriously, I think I might have died if he hadn't put all the milk with it. Maybe I am just an amateur...
Anyhow, since then I can not sleep! Which, in accordance to the incomplete homework still flying around my room is probably not such a bad thing, concentrating on my actual homework...now that is where the challenge truly is.
Ah well, live and learn...the sad thing is I will probably submit myself to this again tomorrow night.
Till then.

P.S. I almost forgot this vital information. If you haven't tried a Java Chip Frappachino from Starbucks please do so now! RIGHT NOW! They are the only good thing that Starkbucks has to offer!

Wassalam,
Welcome to my blog sister! I have visited your blog as well, I shall leave a comment next time insha'Allah!
A gerbera is a part of the daisy family. It's one of the most gorgeous flowers in my opinion. Just for you I will post a picture of one. ;)
Take care! :D
Assalamu alaikum helwa,

Who drinks this stuff??!?!! hehe...I do. Cuban coffee is basically an espresso...I grew up on the stuff. It's your and your brothers fix but I used to drink that as a kid everynight to go to sleep! LOOOOOL and every monring before school. It was just sooo normal for me. However, I don't drink much of any coffee now as a big girl ;)
