Coffee Free for Two Weeks

That's right... it's been two weeks since I've had coffee, no drip, no mocha, no latte, no caramel machiato, not even any coffee ice cream or tiramisu.  

I've decided I'm not addicted to the caffeine, because if that were the case I'd be going crazy and be overly bitchy to everyone first thing in the morning. I really just miss the ritual I think.  The warm feeling of the paper cup from Starbucks, or the smell of the coffee as you stir in the cream and sugar (or coffeemate in my case)... curling up with a cup of coffee and a good book on a saturday morning, or the latte to get through the tiresome hours in the library on a long project. 

I'm not sure if the point of lent is to give up something for 40 days, and then make that sacrifice permanent, or if it's just to practice the art of deprivation for shortish periods of time...  I'm surely hoping it's the latter, because on Easter, I'm bringing coffee back.  BIG TIME. 

until then, I'm going to go make a cup of tea or something.
