Scrutiny by the Masses: Do Not Get in the Way of My Cup of Coffee

If you know me at all, you know I love me some coffee. I joke about it, certainly, but every night when I go to bed, I think to myself: Well, you get a cup of coffee when you wake up.

Most mornings, I desperately need that cup o'joe.

About, oh, 90% of the time, I make my own coffee. I have a Keurig, and sometimes, I might use the K cups - but, mostly, I use the refillable filter and I make my own. I use packaged coffee, most often a dark blend. Every morning, I have two cups of coffee with 2 spoons of raw sugar and low fat half and half.

Every afternoon, before I leave to get my kids from school, I make another cup of coffee. About half the time, it's over ice - but I must have that cup every day. It's necessary fuel to get me ready to face the onslaught of kids pouring out of the school building, the ones who climb in my car and then ones who simply must all talk.at.the.same.time.

Dunkin Donuts - one of my FAVORITE places to get coffe, yum! - knows how much people love (and live for!) their daily coffee. They've started a promotion to see the Mugs of America - in more ways than one, this "mug" is both your face AND your favorite cup - and just by uploading a photo on the Mug Up page, you could win one of the weekly prizes of $100 - or the grand prize of a $10,000 grocery card.

That would buy an AWFUL LOT of coffee.

I'm not eligible to enter, but here is a photo of my favorite coffee mug:

Fortunately for you, I'm not showing my face today - I haven't had enough coffee yet.

Take two minutes, grab your phone and your best, most favorite coffee cup - the one you grab out of the clean dishes every day - and take a photo. And when you win the gift card -

You'd better invite me over for coffee. I'll bring my own mug.
