I spend a lot of money on coffee. I'm not going to deny it. I could write poems about coffee, lengthy odes declaring my love. I only drink it once or twice a day, which is minimal in some people's books, but I still feel like it's something I need to get under control. I'm ready to tackle this.
Coffee is my Guilty Pleasure #1 because:
1. It's energizing. But the jolt of energy is superficial.
2. It tastes oh-so-delicious. But occasionally I opt for gas-station coffee, which is not so delicious.
3. It's cheap. But what seems to be a tiny luxury adds up fast. I probably spend $1500/year on coffee.
2. It's convenient. I'm surrounded by coffee shops so it's a quick stop on my way to work. But, I'm often late from having to stand in line.
4. Coffee shops have a lovely atmosphere that is comforting and the entire experience puts me in a great mood. But, if I don't get my morning coffee, I'm in a horrible mood. And, I get horrible headaches. Addiction? I think yes.
5. It's a great social excursion. Hey, let's go for coffee! But... hm... well, I think this one is ok.
So, what's a girl to do? I'm going shopping! Does this defeat the whole purpose? Hopefully not - I'll be sure to assess before buying anything.
