ob-ses-sion (n.) 

1. The state of being obsessed with someone or something.

2. An idea or thought that continually preoccupies or intrudes on a person’s mind.

The reason we started the obsession header is because of my obsession with coffee! I love coffee. I dream of coffee. I think about when I can have more coffee. When I walk into a coffee shop I practically groan because I love the smell of coffee so much. I set my coffee maker up right after dinner for the next morning. As I am walking away, I’m always a little sad because I wish I could have coffee RIGHT NOW! Even though I drink a lot of coffee, I never drink coffee after 4:00 p.m., so I have to start early! My coffee maker goes off during the week at 5:05 am, so that gives me many hours to get my coffee in. While I truly love the smell, taste and affects of coffee – I think that part of the love is the routine and how comforting that warm cup of coffee feels in your hand. Mmmmm – I think I need more coffee now!

Another of my favorite mugs…which is also an important part of my coffee obsession.
