Coffee Junkies Rejoice!

With regards to the name of our blog, we've often heard that we cover the meows and the mysteries, but where do the mochas come in? I guess I never really intended to write about coffee, I just wanted to choose a name that reflected some of my favorite things. Pure bliss to me is being curled up with a book, a cat, and a hot beverage. If not for wanting to use alliteration with the "M" in my name (this was pre-Mudpie) I could've used the name Coffee, Cats and Cozies!

Yes, I am a total coffee junkie; I only wish there was a way to pipe it through my veins intravenously. And mochas are my favorite because of the added chocolate factor!
