Coffee in the shower!

So you woke up late again this morning. As you struggle to pull your sheets aside, a war resumes from yesterday morning in your mind. Should I sacrifice the coffee; the nectar of the morning gods, for a chance to lather my head in that new 50$ shampoo made from organic milk and honey my hairdresser talked me into? Or, do I pass up that sweet aromatic kick start, for a lovely head of glistening locks? 

This is a battle we all (those of us who drink coffee and shower) seem face on a regular basis (be it from burning the midnight oil catching up on all three episodes of last weeks american idol and survivor in one night, or for those of you who boast to have social lives; you know who you are). 

Well fear not fellow fellow sleeper-inners, I believe I’ve come up with the perfect solution! 

“What?” you ask with bated breathe, “a way to solve my morning woes, and the battle of clashing swords in my head?”. 

This solution came to me based on a technique we invented in the younger years when we were going to bars and clubs four times a week. Often times on big stints, we would get to a hotel later then expected, and need to shower and get dressed to make it to a bar or club on time. Well, being as how we were students and obviously didn’t have much money, we would pre-drink before going out at night. So, in the crisis of having to get ready, and wanting to get buzzed enough before leaving, we invented the shower-drink. While taking turns having showers we’d bring our pre-drinks with us. Brilliant right? 

So all I needed to do was apply that model to my old age and bingo, thus became the shower-coffee! 

Like every new creation, the idea began as a crude time saver; I’d make my way to the kitchen after waking, make my coffee and head up to the shower with it. Turned out it was actually quite delightful as the coffee aroma’s filled the shower quite quickly, and spilling no longer became an issue!  However, also like every creation, the process needed to become more efficient, so I decided it would be even faster if I kept the machine in the bathroom! So, I cleared out one of the drawers below my sink and set up a small collection of mugs (which are oh so easily washed while showering) along with a stack of those Starbucks single cup packages that the Tassimo machine takes! 

So, the moral of the story is: not all the stupid things you do when you are young go to waste, it just takes a bit of tweaking to make them new again
