I keep thinking maybe I should do a blog letting each of my multiple personalities have a say. :-) Congratulations on getting off the caffeine, Beany! Yep, I am inconsistent.

Congratulations on getting off the caffeine, Beany!

One of my husband's co-workers switched to drinking warm water because she realized that what she really wanted was a warm drink, not caffeine. I think Chile herself has admitted many a time to being a contradiction in terms :) katecontinued: That’s a great story.

You know, quitting coffee is something I need to add to the make-a-(green)plan list in a really defined way. It has been vaguely bothersome, but I need to bring this some sharp focus. A friend of mine was a real coffee snob (by her own admission) who accidentally switched to decal one year. She tells this funny account of when her daughter-in-law lived with her for a time and helped with the shopping. The DIL would buy coffee with different packaging than my friend was used to, but chose to bite her tongue. Weeks later she read the label and realized she's been drinking decaf. This was after she even told a doctor she couldn't get off caffeine. And, ironically, the very first post I read of chile's was about her <a href="http://chilechews.blogspot.com/2007/10/pressing-on.html" rel="nofollow">7 French presses!</a> Great irony. Good for you.

I had been thinking about quitting coffee for awhile and am very surprised that this time around the quitting was so easy. I suspect my excitement with my upcoming trip played a part in it. Thanks Jennifer.

I am also happy we aren't the only ones and I too am thankful for Chile and her giving me a kick in the pants to do this. I think it’s wonderful that you are doing this Beany!
