National Coffee Day!

I was planning to write a post on my lack of perfection and why I *might* be okay with it, but then I heard that it is National Coffee Day, so obviously I had to post about coffee.

I love coffee. It makes me feel good in the morning. There is nothing better first thing in the morning that a smooth cup of black coffee. When I have time, I love to curl up with my laptop and coffee and browse the interwebs. I find it extremely relaxing.

I'm not sure when my affair with coffee began. I think that really it was sort of a right of passage. I started to feel I was being treated as a grown up when I got to start drinking coffee. Which is, of course, a little ridiculous because I was a young teenager. But it's all about the feeling, right?

Anyways, Happy National Coffee Day to everyone! How does coffee affect you?

The Answer to My Problems

I have finally found it. You know, IT. The answer to my problems. No longer do I feel tired, unmotivated, lazy, stressed, overwhelmed. All due to a miraculous thing - coffee. I'm serious. I used to be a die hard coffee drinker. Then I decided that wasn't healthy and I started drinking green tea. Then I decided to not have any caffeine at all because I was working out a lot and I had enough energy. Well I haven't been working out lately (which is another post in and of itself) so I have no energy. But today, oh yes, today I drank coffee. Not just any coffee, either - Dunkin Donuts French Vanilla coffee. And not just a little coffee - four cups in one afternoon.

The result? I feel great! I worked over nine hours, drove home (hitting every red light), cooked dinner, caught up on my reader feeds, and am now posting on my blog. Coffee is a miracle elixir!! Apparently, it has even been linked to liver health, fewer gallstones in women (who are 50% more prone to them than men), and clearer skin.

I pledge to never swear off coffee again. Hooray for coffee!!
