My coffee addiction.
I had not planned ahead for situations where my precious half and half was unavailable!
I had thought to bring some in the cooler but we decided to leave on Friday night at the last minute and that thought slipped my mind.
The next morning I was seriously regretting that slippage because I learned something very important.
Non-Dairy creamer is flammable.....and Super 8 was trying to kill me! Look at all of the chemicals!
I immediately asked Siri to find me some coffee STAT and she led us to McDonalds.
We would end up drinking many of these because.....McDonald's is EVERYWHERE!
In Winslow and Motel 6....I soon learned that non-dairy creamer means N* Joy!
Again...McDonald's saved the day!
Keith picked the Best Western in Kingman. I hadn't made a reservation for that day because I honestly didn't think we'd make it that far.....or we'd pull a Griswald, glance at the Grand Canyon and get the heck out of dodge.
I sang JOY TO THE WORLD when I found out that the Best Western was NOT trying to kill me!
But we still went to McDonalds' for Iced Coffee on the way out of town.
I'm not ashamed to admit to you that I stole little cups of half and half from a horrible buffet restaurant across the street from Disneyland.
A girl's gotta do what a girls gotta do.
A girls gotta have her coffee!
And now poor iKeith is addicted to coffee.
Here is a video about our trip.
oh girl, I feel your pain. even worse? if I don't have my cup of coffee I get a raging headache for the rest of the day that I cannot shake and nothing {not even coffee!} makes it better.
ReplyDeleteWe could be sisters! And thanks for reminding me I better add my favorite creamer to the list for when we take our road trip to Seattle in June. I'm betting not even N*Joy will bring me joy with my coffee on the road... ;)

Oh that is too funny! Welcome to the dark side of coffee loving, Keith!!
ReplyDeleteAin't no sunshine when she's gone
ReplyDeleteThis non-dairy creamer just ain't no half-and-half
Anytime she goes away.....
No? Doesn't flow? I tried.
I love your little video and all the fun pictures! It looks like it took you a while to do that :). It looks great though. I hope when my kids get a little older I can take them to disneyland disneyworld..wherever we can go :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you got your coffee fix!!
I would lose it if I didn't have my coffee. Thank goodness for McDonald's.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I've contemplated becoming re-addicted to coffee...I was a big coffee drinker during college, but kicked the habit when I started working. (The headaches when I missed a cup weren't worth it.) Now I only have a mug or two on weekends. And I've discovered fat-free Hazlenut-flavoured whitener that I just looove. It might make having that cup every day worth it again...
ReplyDeleteDavid drinks non-dairy creamer in his coffee. It is my last resort. I prefer FF half and half or some type of flavored creamer. I'm also a big McDonald's coffee fan.
ReplyDeleteyou know, I am equally addicted and would have scoured the earth to be sure we were on the path of hitting all coffee stops on the way or energy drinks as a last resort replacement. I am so bummed b/c they block videos here at work and I can't see it but I got to see instagram along the way so I feel like I went with you. Super cool!! I need a vacation!!
ReplyDeleteNo coffee addiction here, but I would cut someone if I went somewhere that didn't have Diet Pepsi, or tried to give me generic diet soda.
ReplyDeleteMy coffee just isn't the same without my creamer and I will make a special trip to a grocery store when we travel! Or, I have been known to take a few extra of those little ones from 7-11. Hey, gotta do what I gotta do, right?!?

ReplyDeleteNote to self (or Viv) - make sure we have plenty of half & half!!

I love it. No Joy. I had never heard of that N*Joy brand before this post.... ;P
ReplyDeleteMy favorite drink at Starbucks is a Breve Latte made with half and half. I went to a Starbucks yesterday, and they did not know what the heck I was talking about :/
*sighs*
This is a cute post!
xo,

Bahahahhaha!!
ReplyDeleteDid you steal some of those half and halfs???
I will be the only NON-coffee drinker in Cali. I can't stand the stuff! But I'm glad you found a solution!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see you in 22 days! Thanks for linking up!
22 days!!!!
DeleteI looove McDonald's Iced Coffee. I've gotten random cravings for it, ha!
ReplyDeletehaha there are McDonalds everywhere in California. Yuck, non dairy creamer is so gross!! No Joy is a perfect name for it!
ReplyDeleteThat McDonald's coffee looks like a creamsicle!
ReplyDeleteGlad you figured out how to get your cream without consuming that powered chemical crap.
I am actually surprised that McDonalds has good enough coffee to be acceptable-they actually got something right huh?
ReplyDeleteFYI- most gas stations have a wide variety of mini creamers and if you ask nice and smile pretty the guy behind the counter will let you take handfuls!
ReplyDelete~20 days!!!!!
Glad I am not the only one with an addiction! :) haha Love your blog!
ReplyDeletethat is too funny (and scary too!!). I have a friend who brings her own coffee and all the fixings when she travels or else she is a bear without it!
