My new favorite afternoon pick-me-up: iced coffee.
Last week I bought a large catering size pack of coffee for a class I taught on a Saturday. I overestimated their like of coffee a bit and ended up with two huge containers of delicious yet too-expensive-to-toss coffee. So, I made room in my fridge and invested in some Half and Half and some sweet and condensed milk, and at any given moment am only one minute away from iced coffee. No brewing, no cooling. Just pour, sweeten and let the caffeine flow.
I love the brown on top, the creamy middle and the bottom coat of Sweet and Condensed milk at the bottom. Swirl it around with a fun straw and I can enjoy a little taste of happy!

This, too, is my favorite afternoon pick-me-up, but I have yet to try the sweetened condensed milk -- that sounds fantastic! Have you seen PW's post on iced coffee? She makes some sort of super concentrated coffee that she keeps in her fridge so it's always ready. I've never tried her method, but have always wanted to!
Mmmmm! My favorite "treat" when the day is getting loooong is to take a little coffee left-over from the morning and making it "iced." ANd yes, I get on the sweetened condensed bandwagon sometimes too.
One of my friends swears up and down that coffee tastes better in a glass mug/cup. I think it's the aesthetic appeal.
