my love of coffee

Wednesday, August 02, 2006

When I was in high school I could not stand coffee. Sure, I loved the smell of it but couldn't bring myself to drink it. A good friend of mine would always give me a hard time about not drinking coffee and eventually got me to try a drink from Gloria Jean's. I surprisingly loved it (probably because it was mainly milk and cream). Soon after that I could occasionally drink coffee but it had to have a lot of milk and sugar. After I graduated college I worked one block from a coffee shop. Yep, that's what did me in. I pretty much went through their menu and tried everything in the two years I worked near there. Sometime last year I started drinking coffee every morning. Usually Josh gets up and makes a pot for us and then I take it to work. Sometimes it's the highlight of my morning.

Well, yesterday I decided to give up coffee. For awhile I have wanted to cut down to a couple times a week except I was getting terrible caffeine headaches when I tried. This weekend I had absolutely no appetite which meant that everything even coffee sounded gross. I didn't have a cup of coffee from Friday through Monday! I figured I made it that long I might as well keep going.

I think I'm past the caffeine headache already but I did linger around the coffee pot at work this morning just smelling... Once I'm through the cravings I will enjoy a cup of coffee occasionally or stop at Starbuck's for a White Chocolate Mocha. But for now my mug is empty...
