At Home IV - Keurig

Last December, I decided that one of my New Year's Resolutions was going to be quitting coffee. I get a massive headache if I don't drink my morning coffee, and I'm not a fan of that sort of addiction. Well, any addiction, but specifically those that give me headaches.

So I quit cold turkey (no post-Thanksgiving pun intended, I love cold turkey) in December, and I was completely clear of my addiction for a couple months...until a trip to San Francisco. The trip there was exhausting, and I thought, "Well, just one cup couldn't hurt." I'm assuming this is also how smokers or cocaine addicts relapse. Not to compare coffee to cocaine because, y'know, there's no way something is more delightful than coffee.

My one small victory has been keeping a coffee pot out of my home. I get coffee at work some days and Starbucks or Shipley's on others, but by not keeping easy access to coffee in my kitchen, I can't just pound the stuff. At least until Black Friday.

My first cup of coffee from the new Keurig.

So, in short, this was a blog post to blame Black Friday for me finally caving, buying a Keurig and giving up completely on restricting my coffee intake. Damn you, Black Friday! Damn you, Bed Bath and Beyond! Damn you, low low prices!
