Hooked on Horton's

This is not even funny.  I love my coffee but there is nothing like a Horton’s. I was just fine, going through life having my coffee with no name brand creamer every morning, sometimes I would splurge and have real half n’ half or that fancy flavored creamer.  No biggy.  Once in a while I would go all out and get a latte’ somewhere.  I wasn’t particular where, just a latte’.  Life is good.
One day last spring, Frito shows up on my porch sporting two T.H’s for a girl visit.  It was amazingly delicious.  Medium coffee with 3 creams and one sugar. I don’t even drink sugar in my coffee. She would add extra sugar in hers when she arrived here at my place. Next thing you know she was showing up on a weekly basis, bringing coffee, and more girl talk.  The fun stuff that life is all about.  Loved every minute of it.  Still do. 
Here in lies the problem.  She created a coffee monster.  I am not only addicted to Tim Horton’s coffee, I now prefer sugar in my coffee.Thank you very much. I have actually left my apartment in my pajamas early in the morning to get a Tim Horton's coffee. I mean who wants to get dressed on an early Saturday morning just to chill with a nice cup of Joe.  Just what I need, another thing to keep track of.  Points, points, points.
To take this whole coffee thing a step further, last week I went to her house for a visit and she introduced me to a decadent creamer that tastes like an Almond Joy bar.  No lie.  It really does, and boy oh boy, talk about good coffee.   
My point here is that my friend Frito has the skinny on coffee. I am seriously wondering why she doesn’t just buy a franchise location.  Imagine the heaven she would be in and I, as her friend, could probably get a job there.  Think of the benefits.
 The other point is I need to finish school and get a job real soon because $1.55 adds up quick.
