Posted by Alli on May 17, 2009

We went camping on Friday and prior to the trip, I had only one real worry: how would I get my morning coffee on Saturday morning. I could have worried about how Tebow would behave, the weather, or if Fuller would fall into a poison ivy patch. Instead, I was obsessing over how to get my morning coffee.

I have to admit, I’m not a coffee snob. This is why it was perfectly natural for me to head to Wal-Mart and found the Folger’s Coffee Singles. I even found creamer in single packets. I knew I could boil water on Damon’s camp stove, so I was set. Or so I thought.

In the stress fun of packing for the one night in the great outdoors, I neglected to pack a coffee cup for myself. In fact, I didn’t pack any cups for us to drink from. Fuller and I had our Camelbak’s and Damon had his Coke Zero. But I just forgot about the coffee cup.

So, the next morning, I used the smallest pot from Damon’s cook kit and had a Grande coffee.

Next time, I’ll make sure to pack a mug. And maybe some cups, just in case.
