Tea Is My New Coffee
Since giving up coffee and soda for lent, I've really not had much of either since. I have been drinking a lot of tea. I'm not sure if that's any better.
My double chai is my new coffee. I usually put two teabags for every big mug and add a little soy milk. I drink it everyday all day. I haven't looked into the caffeine content, but it seriously doesn't stray far from how I felt with coffee.
Well... that is until I have coffee, then chai is no longer on my mind.
My addiction to coffee amuses me. It's unhealthy to be addicted to anything, but I can be worse than a smoker going cold turkey when it comes to my cravings. I get cranky, I pout, whine, scowl, shout my declarations for needing and wanting coffee... I throw things, punch the wall, bite people, cry, push the coffee table over, throw myself into walls, suck my thumbs, crawl around gnawing at things, foam at the mouth, speak in tongues, my head turns around in a complete circle, I start liking George W. Bush, I hate koalas, I carve the table legs I chew off into sharp steaks, I bite the neighbor's dog, I bite the neighbors...
It's really quite ridiculous how violent my cravings for coffee get.
That's why I love my chai. It saves me from a whole mess of Hallmark "I'm sorry" cards. No one seems to appreciate the Shoebox line of Hallmark cards, the funny ones. Something about being insensitive to their losses. *shrug*
And I won't even get into what CHOCOLATE cravings does to me ::shudders::
