I just purchased an Oxo Good Grips LiquiSeal Travel Mug. Hoping to save myself some money on coffee every morning. Plus, I’ve heard good reviews about this mug. I’ll let you all know how it is when I get it in.

Apple Care works miracles

I’ve been having a pretty amazing streak of luck lately with just about everything. Tonight is another fine example of my good fortune as I somehow managed to get an entirely new keyboard from Apple free of charge despite having water-damaged my previous one. A $150+ repair was more or less gifted to me and for that I am incredibly grateful.

SIGG Trend Line Thermal bottle

I live close enough to my new workplace so that I don’t really need to wake up “early” to catch trains or anything like that. This leaves me plenty of time to wake up and get ready and make a cup of coffee. I thought I’d save some money by investing in a thermos so that I won’t need to go to Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts every morning to get a cup of joe to get me started. And just in case I’m running a bit late, maybe I’ll look into buying one of these SIGG Trend Line Thermos bottles so I can pour my own homemade coffee into it and take it to work. At $9, all I need to do is bring homemade coffee twice before breaking even on this purchase. What say you? Do you have a better thermos alternative? Something that holds about the same amount as a standard mug and doesn’t look like I’m carrying camping gear…?

Coffee By Week

coffee-by-week

Mike Harding has created a website called Coffee By Week to track his coffee consumption through the end of the year.

You can click on each day of the week and see how many coffees he’s had. Mike also tracks the total of cups of coffee and how much he has spent on coffee which has so far totaled over $1000 for 199 days. I’m afraid to even begin tracking my own coffee consumption habits because I feel like they’d be greater than Mike’s.
