No coffee!

We have a major crisis on our hands, people! It is 4:30 a.m. at my house and I cannot find the coffee my DH said he bought when he went to the store! I think he forgot. I repeat, it is the butt crack of dawn here and I am out of coffee!

Okay...I found a random pack of Starbucks Beans that I can grind up. He better hope this works...

Re: No coffee!

  • In my house the Death Eaters would be hovering....... we don't put up with forgetting to get the coffee...

    Very! I am seriously considering one or more of the unforgivable curses...totally justified in this situation.

  • Don't quite kill him, but scare him close to death so it never happens again.  Works for me.

    Huh...you just gave me an idea...maybe I should sick a Bogart on him instead. After all, I just had to confront my worst fear...being out of coffee...so why shouldn't he do the same? :)

  • Touche.....
  • Oh no coffee is a crime against humanity. I agree with @kmmssg- don't quite kill him, just put the fear of God in him.

    My DH is a man of faith. :) Perhaps I should remind him that this will be one of those moments that St. Peter will project on the big screen as he stands in judgement at the pearly gates...lol

  • That would be a Def-Con One crisis in our house. The National Guard would be mobilised, the Terror Alert would be raised, shelters would be erected, etc.

    You think Mother Nature is scary? Bitch ain't got nothin' on an un-caffeinated HisGirl.

    Lol, same here. We were at code red status until I found the random blonde roast beans some saint had given us. I am sure I have already written a thank you note for that gift but I feel like that is just not enough now...

    Okay so I think I have moved on from the crisis management stage to being pissed. (Not really) I just don't understand why someone who says he loves me would do this...

  • I keep a container hidden away in the back of the freezer for emergencies. I'm not coffee-dependent but FI gets downright evil without it. Since he's the only drinker, he's expected to add it to the grocery list, something he consistently fails to do.

    He thinks I take care of his coffee because I love him. I do it so I don't need to bury him in the backyard!

  • This would be a non-issue in my house.  I do not drink coffee.   SHOCKER., but yeah, I do not touch the stuff.

    DH drinks it but he normally wastes more money than I want to calculate going to Starbucks on his way to work.  Which is in the opposite direction from where work is.     We have a real nice Keurig that just sits there waiting to be used.  






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

    I've dispatched a police officer to your house to assist with your crisis.

  • DH rarely drinks coffee, and when he does, he stops and gets god-awful Rutter's coffee.

    BUT....and this is why I love him....he used the last of my half-and-half the other day to make tomato bisque soup. Since he had done this after I left for work, I wouldn't have noticed until the next morning when I attempted to put half-and-half in my coffee and we were out.

    He stopped on the way home from work to buy half-and-half and brought it home. Bless him.

  • Ladies, I have to go and get ready for work but I just wanted to thank you for all of your support during this difficult time! :)

  • I used to be very coffee-dependent when I worked in retail, but gave it up about 6 years ago (except on social outings, like a treat). However, if there is no Coca-Cola in the house, you do not want to be anywhere nearby because the Crazy Asian Lady is coming out!

  • I have to say that you must be a very loving person. The fact that your DH is still alive is proof of your mercy. My FI would not be. :)

  • One morning I woke up and there was not coffee on my nigh stand (FI leaves it for me every morning) so I went to find the coffee (and make sure she hadn't died) and she was standing in the kitchen staring at the coffee pot and says "It just won't work", I started crying. We ended up going to a gas station in our PJs to get coffee just to figure out what to do about the non-working coffee pot.

    Fiona no work with no coffee.
  • I love coffee and am a hopeless caffeine addict, but my GI doctor said no more....my stomach doesn't tolerate more than one little, tiny, pathetic cup. That's just wrong! 

    Glad you had a reserve!  I'd send you mine if it'd get there in time!  :D

    This may or may not literally be making me cry right now.

    You know I was really impressed and was ready to say you are my new hero for kicking the coffee habit...But then I realized that you just switched caffeine addictions. :)

    You scared me for a minute. A lack of coffee is definitely a cause for alarm.
  • When I was substitute teaching, I never knew if there would be coffee available.  I bought Folgers coffee single serving bags.  They're like tea bags, wrapped in foil, so they last a long time.  I always kept a couple of bags in my purse so I could make hot water in the microwave and brew a cup.  There was one school that I hated to go for a day job because they had no coffee and no cups for visitors!  How rude!

    Coffee is proof that God loves small children and protects them. Or at least that's what I told myself during religious ed this past year.
