Alright, before I wax philosophic about the local Starbucks closing, I think I need to address an issue that has popped up a few times in my comment section. It has been implied more than once that I might have an caffeine addiction problem.First of all, you can't tell me anything. I am fully aware of my addiction and frankly, do not consider it a problem. The problem (as I see it) is I don't care that I have a problem.
Sure, from time to time, I think about my health and wonder about making positive lifestyle choices. When I get on this vein of thinking I will list the reasons why I should stop/cut back on drinking coffee, they are:
- The only fluid I consume is coffee (or some other form of brown, like Dr. Pepper or tea). I'm sure that can't be good.
- I only have one kidney and at this point I'm sure it's mocha colored.
- My resting heart rate is 120 beats per minute. RESTING! The doctor prescribed a Beta-Blocker to get it down some. I take the pill every morning with a cup of coffee. Ironic?

Okay, I just read my email. I am going to call you in a bit, but I am also going email my new digits.
Regarding the coffee addiction, that by the way, I am very proud that you admit you are an addict, that is the first step to recovery. BUT YOU NEED TO DRINK WATER TOO CATHERINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gosh! I would almost bet your heart rate would go down a wee bit if you subsituted a bottle of water for a DP. Now I understand about the coffee. Have you ever tried the Stripes "coffee"? It is very good. I believe you are just one of those "preppy" people that thinks it is so cool to hang out at Starbucks! They pamper you there!
Also, regarding the scrapbook store. I never said I would want to scrap outside, who would? It would make a stinkin cute store though and you know it! Ha!
what does that mean "cruise director" or whatever for 2009? I was on your quilt clubs website and saw that>>>>Guess that is where you are according to the day of the week? nice talking to you last night by the way!
Denise,
I am the "cruise director" for the quilt guild because I help pull of the annual Shop Hop Bus trip every year.
Hello....quilting rules!

Cathern: Why don't you add smoking to your caffeine addiction. You would be really cool then!
As long as you do not black-out and can remember everything in the morning, I guess you're okay. Next time you are strung out on your third or fourth cup, try saying the alphabet backwards very fast, excluding every other consonant, and every sixth letter. If you can't do that, you might be in deeper than you think. Gotta face it, dude. ;)

There may be some emotional or psychological reasons behind our obsessive use of caffeine. It simply means that in order to quit successfully you need to be fully aware of what you are thinking and feeling when you miss your caffeine.
