Addictions

[The Berkley Babes] — Jolie @ 12:53 pm

Congratulations to the February Berkley Babes contest winners!! (Check out the post below mine!) If you haven’t signed up for the Babes’ monthly newsletter, there’s a link over to the right of the blog screen. Not only will you find lots of great news for your favorite authors, but there are montly prizes!

Did anyone used to watch Allie McBeal? There was the one episode where all the attorneys were assembled at the firm, and they couldn’t go off to their important court date or whatever appointment until their coffee was delivered. The camera zoomed in on Allie’s lips as she lifted her cup for the first euphoric sip …

That particular scene was like a porno for java junkies. I could completely relate to the excruciating moment before the coffee arrived, the impatience, and the ultimate satisfaction (as she licked the foam off her lips!).

Coffee is one of my addictions. Starbucks will do, but a more local spot, Sweet Eugene’s, is the best. I have a good handful of addictions:

1. Books

2. Coffee

3. Tex-Mex

4. News Channels (mostly Internet, but if my TV’s on, it’s usually on CNN, MSNBC or FOXNews)

5. Bubble Baths (where I read books, drink java, and eat TexMex while watching the news — only kidding, but I’ll probably try that out one day)

6. Oh, and now that I’ve hit my mid 30s … skin care products.

What are your biggest addictions?

  4. Chocolate, surfing on the net–and doing nothing productive, buying books–particulary on health–that i never read, and heck…shopping in general.
