I recently got my drink on...coffee that is. Wouldn't touch the stuff 'til I turned fort...oh, never mind. I like the fancy coffees though. Whipped cream, a swirl of chocolate, chocolate shavings, caramel...you get the picture! Nothing like starting your day with a large (venti) non-fat,white chocolate, iced latte to get things moving along. Some things your mother won't tell you, ahh, but I will. Like, the benefits of coffee when you need to get things moving...
My friend, Sarah admitted to her coffee addiction to me. Get this...she now takes to running each morning, yes... running to her new local coffee house, Saxby's. This coffee house serves special latte concoctions like: Almond Joy, Kit Kat and Snickerdoodle. Suddenly, you feel like a kid in a candy store. They basically market their coffee for adults who "miss" candy bars. And, I think the candy bar would have less calories. Not that I count calories.
A double shot of addiction - chocolate and caffeine. Ahhh, I can feel the caffeine "high", and the shakes, too.
As I said, this friend runs to Saxby's daily, with her debit card and "frequent drinker" card (hidden in her sock), drinks her "candy bar coffee" and then with a little more pep in her step...heads home. She can't return home with the evidence (you see, her twelve year old daughter likes a little "Saxby's fix" too) so she quickly drinks up. Then, and I kid you not...she confessed that she tosses her cup in the dog park's poop receptacle. She claims its the only receptacle along her path home. Evidence... gone.
Now, I don't wanna be the one to say she has an addiction. And, her brisk daily walk (for liquid candy bars) is a great exercise. I can't fault her for that! But, when you begin hiding coffee cups from the family, ahh...you might have a problem.
I am planning an intervention soon. A real coffee talk...for Sarah!
If you have an addiction, an "innocent addiction" that is...(I don't wanna get my substance abuse license out and have to counsel ya) please share...I would love to hear what secret addiction you have! Post below...

I have several addictions, but I'll limit it to the top three:
1. Ice cream, though now I'm into sherbet. There's nothing like Dreyer's Swiss Orange, with little bits of chocolate in it. I'm on my third bowl right now. I kid you not.
2. Lipstick. I can't get enough.
3. Sleazy $7.99 Ross Dress-for-Less blouses. The lower the cleavage, the better!
Geez, hard to believe that beer didn't make the cut!
Linda-I have so many lipsticks...they are an obsession! If I had your cleavage, I too would have those blouses. lol
