a little weekend cheer...


I woke up with a case of the Fridays. Or rather, I went to sleep last night with a case of the Fridays. You know, that feeling when all you want is for it to be 4 o'clock (or whenever your weekend truly begins), and that's the only thing standing between you and relaxing!

Plus it's as dreary as can be over here on the East Coast. All I wanted (besides the weekend to be here!) at work was a hot drink to get me through my morning. 

Last night, when I was in that barely-awake-but-not-quite-asleep state of mind I had an idea. I created my own little recipe for a little holiday treat for myself.

This morning I filled my coffee tumbler 3/4 of the way full with coffee. Then I added:

4 creamy peppermints (the smooth kind that dissolve fast)
A teaspoon of hot cocoa mix 
A splash of chocolate milk (replacing plain white milk/creamer)

I mixed it all together with a spoon and gave the peppermints a couple of minutes to dissolve. I must say I was pretty impressed with myself. Chock one up for my pure genius-ness ;)

It's no Starbucks, but hey, it sure brightened my morning! Such a season-appropriate drink too! I should have listened to Christmas music while sipping :)
