The Bed and My Addiction

We've all had them.   Days when you just can't win for losing. The alarm doesn't go off, you forgot to set the coffee maker the night before and then you can't decide what to wear. You go through the motions anyway...get dressed in something you really don't like..and blame it on the fact that you haven't had your coffee.

OK the coffee is ready now. So you head back to the kitchen...pour your first cup of Java...and use the very last bit of your favorite "french vanilla" creamer. As soon as you reach for the cup... you spill it all over you and the clothes you WERE going to wear. After changing clothes again...you realize the jewelry couldn't be more wrong for the outfit. At this point of course...well you get my drift...a girl's gotta do the right thing!

A half hour later...you are scrambling to get out the door...and it suddenly occurs to you that you have NO IDEA where your keys are. After 20 minutes of looking under everything except your toothbrush (having wrecked you house in the process) they suddenly appear hidden under the phone that didn't ring to wake you up this morning.

You get in your car...start to leave the house and realize that you forgot your cell phone...oh crap...can't leave home without it...head back inside to get the phone...lock the door behind you and get back in the car.  A quick trip through the drive through at Port City Java to FINALLY get a cup of coffee will make everything alright...UNTIL...you get to the window and realize you left your purse at home...

Now we have heard that Crack Addicts will do anything to get a fix...and at this point I was willing to do anything for a cup of coffee.  I considered jumping out of the car and panhandling for enough money to get that coffee...but as I looked at my hand...it became obvious.  MY RING!  It's just a tiny little princess ring...but it's 18K Gold...and I figured it could buy me the time I needed to drink my coffee and run home and get my money. 

So I DID IT...I pawned my ring to the girl at Port City Java for a cup of coffee...(at least for a few minutes).  YES I have a problem.  I'm addicted to having that first cup of coffee...and if I don't...I am better off  just staying in bed!
