If we're going to be spending quite some time with each other here, you might as well know about my love for coffee.
No, I didn't start drinking it at a very young age, nor did my elders encourage me to foster the habit growing up. (In fact, my parents told me repeatedly that coffee isn't for kids and that drinking it can be quite unhealthy.)
However, with the advent of Starbucks shops, I inevitably tried gourmet coffee on an afternoon out with one of my closest girlfriends sometime immediately after my college years. Not being a big fan of mood-altering substances, all throughout my life I'd steered clear of even the most basic over-the-counter cough, cold and flu medications as much as I possibly could. You can only imagine then how that sugar-filled blast of coffee hit me.
All was right with the world in my eyes at that moment in time, and I did not hesitate to tell my friend so. I was so thrilled to be living the first day of the rest of my life, standing on the edge of a new beginning and all that jazz... My heart, jumping with the caffeine racing through my veins, felt to me to be jumping for joy.
A coffee aficionado was born that day.
It remains the only "drug" that I regularly ingest, as I never built up a personal fondness for alcohol, tobacco, and friends.
...unless you count salt, which I crave from time to time.
But shucks, enough with this chatter I'm using as an excuse to keep from cleaning up before a special surprise shows up at my doorstep about an hour or less from now.
Once I post a vlog and/or blog after this wonderful new love that's coming into my life, you'll know why picking my makeup, books, and most everything else off of the floor is going to be essential from this moment on.
I'll be back with word on the surprise as soon as I can.
For now, I'll put my half-eaten red velvet cupcake back in its box and begin tidying up (and I really should hop to it if I want to have any makeup left to do YouTube tutorials with, as this "surprise" might not be so aware that lipstick is made to be applied instead of nibbled on).
I'll see you later!

P.S.: In case you were curious, that coffee in the photo above is a Vanilla Biscotti/French Vanilla blend.
such a cute post! I love coffee too!
