My Addiction
Or should I title this "One of My Addictions" because I'm sure I have more than one. Today, I decided to venture to the new Macy's store in our local shopping mall. It used to be a Jones Store - it still pretty much looks like a Jones Store. But I hadn't ventured into the mall since the big change, so that was my Friday afternoon outing. I did buy a new pair of jeans and I do have to take them back because they were too big (rock on!), but that's not what this is all about.
When I left Macy's, I began to get a little jittery. My mind was foggy and my teeth started clenching together. What was I feeling?
And then it came to me. The Starbuck's that I visit on an almost daily basis was across the street. I hadn't been there today. I fixed coffee at home today. And like I said, it was just across the street. I could be there in less than 30 seconds, 20 even...
So as I'm driving across the street, I get behind a silver van that starts to drive slower than normal, and then just stops - as if he's lost or something - but for no reason. He just stops. And what do I do? I honked at him. I mean, come on, I needed my Grande Iced Shaken Black Tea Sweet, please, and I needed it now.
What is wrong with me?? I have a serious caffeine addiction. I'm honking at innocent people to get closer to my fix.

Very funny. I find that with the Starbucks thing, the more I go, the more I "need" to go. If I manage to break the cycle for a few weeks (like lately actually), I don't even get those times when I have to have a latte.
Congrats on the jeans. That's awesome.
If I don't get my coffee, I get a horrible head and feel very unlike myself...until I realize, "Hey, I never got my coffee this morning!" Then, a little bit of caffeine later, and I'm back to my normal, pleasant self! :)
And - Awesome about the "too big" jeans. Yay!
I'm a serious caffeine addict, too -- though, mine's in the forms of Coca-Cola & chocolate. :-? I just posted to my blog a day or two ago that I'm saying goodbye to caffeine... It's causing too many *issues* in my life....
PS... Congrats on the jeans! That's an awesome feeling! :o)
