Personal Note
I'm a very obsessive and addictive person when it comes to things or people and when I like something or someone, I reaaallly like them. Luckily I stay away from hard drugs preferring softer drugs like cake, pastries and tea. My obsession with tea or specifically chai lattes became a bit of a running joke lately when I went away to do a story on regional NSW. Wherever I was, there would be a chai latte not too far from my reach because it was so chilly.
Admittedly I am a bit of a strange tea drinker. I would collect chai lattes to take away with me from every place that we had breakfast. Soon I found myself with a little collection in the car. I would then stash them in the fridge and then heat them up in the morning and drink one before exercising-it was my little treat before my punishment!
So tell me Dear Reader, do you have an obsessive personality? What or who are you currently obsessed with? Do you drink tea or coffee in an odd way?
