I have a confession. I have the right to recant this or, on a whim, just change my mind back to my prior musings.

I'm bored with ... Coffee. Yes, you read that right - the coffee addict is kinda bored with her coffee. I love[d] Pumpkin Spice, but after the desire for yet another Blueberry Iced Tea thing,* it seems too much for me (right now). Perhaps I'm still in a summer mood frame (tho with slowly growing fall wardrobe). Perhaps I just need a change. All in all, lately I just haven't felt that morning drive for a cup o' joe. I haven't been entirely bitchy when I haven't had my daily dose of java. I even haven't freaked out when I haven't been able to a lunch or 20 minutes and run across the street for some peace and quiet. And it's not just Starbucks, it's any ice coffee/coffee/Dunkin' Donuts/McD's, etc.

What led to this revelation? Well, last night, I went to the Altamonte Mall to use up a Barnes & Noble coupon that expired. In wandering through Macy*s, Lane Bryant, Bakers and a few other stores, I passed the 'Bucks and, out of habit, I stopped for a Pumpkin Spice Nonfat Iced Latte. In sipping my coffee, I just realized that "hmmm.. not lovin' the stuff as much". It might be an after effect of this damn cold/flu/bug/hellvirus or perhaps my body is on caffeine overload. (I went almost a week without coffee) The feeling still stayed with me today when I did the "cheapgal's latte" (9to5 provided café latte from their espresso machine - not super good but it suffices when I can't leave) and tossed a little pumpkin spice creamer into it.

Someone call the doctor - there must be something wrong. After 35** years on the sauce, I've NEVER felt like this.

*Apparently Starbucks was not prepared for the success of the Blueberry Iced Tea and ran out! This is my notice to them: BRING IT BACK! You would think, as a stockholder, my word would carry a little bit of weight - notsomuch! Seriously, Starbucks just needs to add that to the menu more than some of their other offerings.

** My mother had ice coffee all while pregnant with me - so I consider myself an addict from before birth.
