Hi, My Name Is Nicky, And I---

I guess now is as good a time as any to tell you guys.

I, Nichole Elizabeth Newman, am addicted to... it's funny, because as I sit here typing this, I am actually about to indulge in a huge cup of:
 caffeine.

And, not just any caffeine..the coffee variety. (Although, sometimes, I turn to Diet Coke)
Yep, it's true. I just can't help myself! When I wake up in the morning, I smell the heavenly smell of fresh coffee brewing in the coffee pot. I NEED to drink at least one hot cup before being FULLY awake!
   This one time, I spent the night at my best friend's house, and, alas, there was no caffeine in the morning. So, as a result of this, I had a terrible headache the whole day. Yeah, not fun.
But, coffee is pretty special to me, as weird as that may sound.. I drink it black. Not because it wakes me up, but because I like the taste of it. Now, don't get me wrong..I like stuff in it too! I am a big Starbucks addict!! I just can't help myself..it's so yummy! :D

So, soccer season started this past Monday. I am pretty excited! Soccer is, in my opinion, the world's greatest sport. Sorry if you don't agree..this is my blog, not yours :P haha anyways. I decided that, just maybe, drinking a ton of caffeine during soccer season isn't the brightest idea. So, I've been limiting myself to one cup each morning. ONE CUP! Boy, let me tell you..IT'S HARD!! Granted, I still let myself drink decaf at night..I just can't help it! I love the stuff!
And, I've been indulging on the weekends. But, so far I've kept my challenge to myself to keep off of the caffeine.
I've also been trying to hydrate, and let me tell you, it's harder than it seems!

So, now that I've let you all in on my little secret (which I guess now is no longer a secret) I guess you can say that life isn't really "My Cup Of Tea"..it's definitely "My Cup Of COFFEE"
