Mmm. Coffee. My husband drinks his black. No cream, no sugar, no nothing. I, on the other hand, like my coffee to be a little fancier. I often pour skim milk into my magic bullet to make fluffy cream then nuke it for a few second to puff it up even more before spooning it onto my coffee. Depending on my mood I may sprinkle cinnamon on top or add a spoonful of vanilla extract.
More recently, though, I have been going the way of convenience and just using refrigerated creamer. Over Christmas I tried CoffeeMate's warm cinnamon sugar cookie, cafe mocha and peppermint mocha (my favorite).
Now that the holidays are over, I have reverted to generic french vanilla flavor. My 13 year old has grown fond of coffee made pale with french vanilla creamer.
I am a seasonal coffee drinker, only in the fall and winter. Hubby can drink it year round, very strong in the morning at lunch or before bed. I don't seem to be affected by the caffeine, which honestly, is a little disappointing.
On Saturdays I have to get up before 5 to travel two hours for class and I set the coffee maker to make 6 cups before bed. Some to drink while getting ready and the rest for the road. I'm always a little sad when I finish my Bubba Mug full of coffee before I get to campus.

1/4
1/4 doesn't seem like much. It's half of the half. A small portion of a whole. It doesn't matter whether your say one quarter or one fourth or say 25%. For me 1/4 is huge. It means I am one quarter of the way through my master's degree.
The social work master's program is challenging. The quantity of work is phenomenal. I spent my entire last semester stressed and had lots of tears. I know the end result will be worth it. My classes officially start on the 7th and my Saturday classes start next Saturday. Every Saturday up at 4:45 for a two hour drive to school.

In addition to working full time and going to school full time, I also do a 16 hour per week practicum and I also must complete a minimum of 5 group counselling sessions. Each of my classes have a group project. It makes it very challenging when students in the online classes are sprinkled across the United States.
One fourth. Such a small number to so many, but to me the first step towards achieving my goal.
