Keurig is King!

Queen Bea was sooo naughty yesterday! I have been lusting after a Keurig ever since my Bunn coffee maker decided to leak more than it dripped. Now mind you, I've been watching all the Keurig shows on the Q religiously and nearly had a caffeine-induced nervous breakdown when it was the TSV a few months back, but I stayed strong and resisted.

Yesterday was the last stir straw. I had no more will power left.

But I didn't get it from QVC. Nope. I didn't want that silly little mini, personal, wanna be Keurig they had as yesterday's TSV. No, ma'am! I wanted the big daddy. I took a little trip to Sam's Club and came home with my brand new baby. Check it out:



I love my Keurig! I've had it less then 24 hours and I'm already a spoiled rotten little gourmet coffee brat. I want my cup organic, free trade, dark roasted coffee and I want it now! No one should have to wait for an entire pot to brew. How pedestrian.

In all seriousness, I am the only coffee drinker in my household, so something like the Keurig--while certainly still a luxury--is much appreciated. Not to mention the way those soft blue lights illuminate the water tank is nothing less than magical. *sigh*

Two Things ...

First, according to godFreako on the QVC message boards, the big, pave hoops from the Diamonique commercial that I've been drooling over will be sold for ... drum roll, please ... $248.12!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Has QVC lost their minds? Two hundred and fifty dollars for CZ and silver ... for real? Is this supposed to be a joke? That must be a helluva a lot of platinum that they're plating on those earrings.

Y'all know how much I love my fake diamonds and I've been hunting for a big pair of pave hoops for a while now, so I was primed and ready with my wallet open and credit card in hand to buy those earrings tonight, but there is no number of Easy Pays that can make up for a ridiculous price tag like that. And for once I don't even care about free shipping. That price is just insulting.

Maybe they will realize the enormous error of their ways before tonight ... the Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise!

Second, the TSV--Keurig Ultimate Coffee Brewer w/ 54 K-Cups & My K-Cup Filter--is a rocking deal. Mr. Queen Bea wanted to get me a new coffee maker for Christmas and I do believe I have helped him find it!

My Bunn, which was supposed to last forever, now leaks more coffee than it makes. Although I'm sad and disappointed in my Bunn, I'm pretty sure that I can drink my sorrows away with this little baby.

The reviews are almost uniformly glowing (the naysayers seem to expect their own personal tree-hugging Starbucks barista to pop out of the machine to make their morning brew) and I can't find a better price. Plus you get 54 K-Cups, a coupon for more coffee of your choice, half-price shipping, and the K-Cup filter so you can use whatever coffee you want with it. And did I mention the 5 Easy Pays?

At least someone at the Q still has a clue. Oh! And I forgot to mention one of the best benefits of this coffee maker--watching the already hyper hosts get juiced up on caffeine all day!

So, when all is said and done, at least I will have a tasty cup of coffee to sip while I fume over my hoops (and they are mine even if they aren't technically in my possession).
