Prompt 5. Sept 5.
Music Prompt with coffee.

The video didn't work for me.

If the video doesn’t work: Tommy Cash, Espresso Macchiato, Eurovision Song Contest for Estonia on YouTube.

I usually do my writing in the evening. So, I took a look at everyone else's blog entry to get a feel for what the video was about. Thankfully, a few of the other blogs had the video in it and I watched it there. So, thank you to all who added the video to your blog. You helped a fellow blogger out.

It was an interesting video. I am currently learning Spanish using the Duolingo App on my phone. That was a bit fun to hear the mixed language music video. I love the coffee bean balloons at the end. Nice touch. I usually don't listen to this type of music. I tend to favor gospel, country, eighties, instrumental, and classic. I guess I could be considered an eclectic type. I like a variety. I like to experience different types of music and experiences. Getting outside of your comfort zone is how you grow as a person. I tend to get out of my comfort zone a lot.

Now let's talk about coffee. Coffee is a subject I can discuss. My favorite coffee is Dunkin's French Vanilla Iced Coffee with cream and Splenda. I usually drink the Folgers Original Blend brewed daily with a flavored cream. I try to be careful how much sugar I consume, but I am not hugely fond of the artificial sweeteners.

I kind of wonder at times what is the worse of the 2 evils. Artificial sweeteners aren't good for you either. Neither is real sugar. I'm diabetic. So, what do you do? I try to limit both. Moderation I believe is the key in pretty much just about everything in life.

I also really like frozen flavored coffee. There is something soothing about those frozen slushy drinks. I like the Slushes from Sonic too, like their cherry and strawberry slushes. Caramel is probably my favorite coffee flavor though.

Yes, I like to drink my coffee hot too. I usually consume about 2 cups of coffee per day. Somedays, there is nothing like a good cup of coffee to start the day or to give you that extra boost of energy. I don't tend to like it really strong though. I assume I am a medium blend kind of woman. I like it enough to give a little kick but not so strong that it is thick and extremely bitter. I've heard some military people like it like that. Everyone to their own. Right?
