My Pride

3 02 2008

On my way to a lavish Medieval Feast last night, I had a very strong urge for some coffee.  I haven’t been drinking any caffeine since about Thanksgiving, but the urge was strong-it was that afternoon slump time and I had a 2 hours drive…I was all psyched up to savor that real Starbucks, no decaf this time.  Really, you have no idea how much I was looking forward to this!

And then it hit me!  I couldn’t get coffee. 

It wasn’t the desire to keep to my no caffeine plan, it wasn’t a concern that I might interrupt that evening’s sleep pattern, and it certainly wasn’t the sudden urge to prepare for the upcoming recession.

It was my pride.  There was no way I would walk into a coffee shop.  I had just passed the one drive-through Starbucks I knew of.  Aghhhh!  Why had I dressed up BEFORE my drive?!?
