Every morning I have a coffee with a big scoop of cocoa powder in it!!:)
I am a bit of a chocolate snob! My favorite cocoa is Scharffenberger, which hubby orders for me online- we get 6 tins at a time. When I open the last tin, I let him know so he can order more!!! :p
I just love the smell of fresh coffee.
When it's made or just when you open a tin, packet, or even a jar of instant.
Bliss!

Happy old New Year's Eve, friends!

Warning! A bit of history is coming!
In 1918, the Soviets adopted the Gregorian calendar over the hitherto used Julian calendar. Religious institutions are not generally known to be at the avant-garde of social reform, so the Eastern Orthodox Church uses the Julian calendar for major holidays to this day. Thus, we celebrate Christmas on January 7 and Easter at (usually) a different date from the Catholics and Protestants, and many people still observe the old New Year, January 14. :cool:
Happy New Year's Eve, Lena.:)

Me, too.
A mug every two hours or so from when i get up until when i go to bed at 4 in the morning or thereabouts.
Good morning , Grandpa.:)
I didn't use to drink coffee until I got a job as a copy-editor. That really started the addiction. I didn't drink much coffee even as a student. But then again I probably just couldn't afford good coffee as a student. :rolleyes:

An old photo of Elsa from 2 years ago- but hubby took it with his "real" camera and had her properly lighted!
She really is beautiful! :) Jacques gets more attention because she lives in an aquarium here inside our home 24/7 and Elsa lives outside about 9 months of the year. But she's a sweetie!!! :)

I used to drink mainly tea (still like tea, but drink a lot of coffee).
I can't remember when or why I got my coffee addiction.

I LOVE when Elsa is relaxed enough to keep her legs stretched out when she's basking!
Her real color is much nicer than this: the flash on my cellphone camera makes her look waaaaay too yellow, and causes that glare on her carapace. :( She really is a lovely gal.

Charming! :tort:
I love it when Tidgy does this.
And then she puts a front paw under her chin and stretches her head up as far as it will go.
Delightful. :<3:
