I've been flirting with the idea of giving up coffee. Clever minds have told me it's addictive and unhealthy, and I've found myself agreeing. Of course, I do a lot of other stuff that's much more unhealthy, like drinking every weekend and eating cake, but quitting coffee is much less hassle than the immense lifestyle changes the other two would entail, so I figured I'd start there.

Until, this morning, as I headed off for work and passed the open bakery right by my flat. The moment I smelled the coffee I was enticed and I found myself entering the bakery (which was a good idea since I hadn't had time to eat breakfast and there was no food at work). I bought a morning cup of coffee even though I wasn't supposed to be drinking coffee in the mornings anymore and from the moment I held it in my hand I knew. This is something I don't want to give up. The smell of it. The feel of the warm paper cup in my hand as I rush to work. That first sip of the perfectly brewed coffee. It's heaven. I think I might give up chocolate before I give up coffee. Hell, I'd probably give up alcohol for coffee.

*bliss*

Coffee. Sweet nectar of the gods. I'm not surprised the smell smacked you with its awesomeness. *is a proud addict*

Much as I hate it, I find myself agreing with a character in a book by Weber; there is something very wrong with a brew that smells so divine and tastes so foul...

I hate coffee, both the smell and the taste of it. Whit that said, it's not entirely true that it's unhealthy. It actually contains loads of antioksidanter (sorry, word in norwegian here) which is good for you in so many ways.
So keep drinking your coffee, as long as you don't overdo it it won't do you any harm ^^

For the moment there, you had me very, very worried.
