The secret to my success
Tuesday, April 7, 2009 at 6:09AM
The secret to my success is manyfold. Is manyfold even a word? It better be, because it's part of the secret of my success. I wouldn't want the secret to my success to be a made up word.
Because the secret to my success is manyfold, I shall not endeavor to delineate them all in this post. Instead, I shall give you two. Two secrets.

Please forgive the picture quality. I was taking it with my snapshot camera under fluorescent lighting.
Coffee and chocolate are the secrets to my success. The love runs deep. They both act on the creative, hard-working part of my brain, I think. They have to, there's no other explanation.
I just got this single cup coffee maker for the other people in the studio. I actually don't use it, because I prefer coffee the strength of paint thinner (cream, no sugar), and this doesn't allow me to adjust for that. But the candy? That I do help myself to. With three of us, I have to refill the candy jar twice a week. Sometimes I'll throw a few Jujubes in there for the person who likes them, but otherwise, it's all chocolate all the time.
If you don't like coffee and/or chocolate, I don't know what to say to you. You are foreign to me.
The Yarnista happily accepts gifts of both coffee and chocolate. Just sayin'.

I do agree...chocolate and coffee are the secrets to success. Especially strong coffee and good chocolate.
And the Keurig...it's convenient, but it doesn't give me the volume/strength combo that I need! so I use that for my first cup and then buy my second (and third and...)
I have that machine! and I LOVE it! :) You need to buy one of the reuseable filters - then you can adjust it to as weak or strong as you'd like. :) I think it is about $15 (if you can find one, let me know - I can pick one up for you and send it off!).
If I send you chocolate can I have some of that yarn?
;)
LOL I love that the machine is named keurig which means neat (or, according to my dictionary, dainty or trim) in Dutch.
Prey tell,does Yarnista like whole beans or ground coffee?? Does she like to grind her own beans?
My 4 yr. old Rhonwen said when she saw this picture of the chocolate jar,
" Oh mom I would LOVE one of those" :) Tee hee I would too but I have no self control when it comes to chocolate! When I was younger I wasn't a big fan of chocolate. I couldn't understand why my Grandma loved it so. HA! Now I love it too!
Coffee and chocolate.
I ALWAYS knew you were "good people."
Coffee and chocolate. A match made in heaven. Just sayin'.
They're not Mini Eggs. Fail.
Um...do you think you could maybe make an exception for someone who loves one of two? Despite a little over 7 years in the Navy, I never came to enjoy coffee. But I love chocolate! PLEASE say I don't have to leave!
Coffee and dark chocolate. I'd have to have ice cream as a secret. Quality ice cream. Homemade is best if you're lucky enough to have some near or a churn of some kind. Is planning to use my son when he's older as the churner bad?
