So how bad is this obsession really?

At one point (not now, but not that long ago) I could wear a different shirt, different jeans/khakis/shorts, different socks, and different boxers/briefs every single day for just short of 2 months.

I think I have a problem.

Come back when you can do it for at least 6, then you'll have the START of a probbo

Working at a bike shop is about fashion and coolness. There's nothing cool about coveralls.

You just shattered every preconception I had about you.

In my imagination, you just turned metro.

next thing you know, he's gonna like frappuchinos and latte's

Erm.....

I have a confession to make.

After all of my ranting against Starbucks and it's clientele...... I've been frequenting Starbucks for several months now. I still despise the clientele, but I'm afraid I have a weakness for Cinnamon Dulce Lattes. I can't indulge very often though, due to their caloric content. Also, the shop buys coffee every day I work, so I've been chugging down free large coffees for months. I still think it tastes burnt/over-roasted, but it's free and I've grown used to it. If it weren't just a few doors down from the shop, however, I doubt that I would be frequenting Starbucks.

my hubby has a million times more clothes then me and now he tells me that he doesn't like any of his t-shirts and wants some more.. his problem is that he just buys things without trying them on

I fianlly got him convinced taht he should try on shoes before buying them turns out he was wearing a whole size bigger shoe then he actually was

For free, it may be worth it. I still believe that buying your own freshly ground beans (not over-roasted) and making your own brew, whatever that may be; is a much better choice.

I currently have a pound of Caribou Coffee in the kitchen. Whole bean. I have a coffee maker w/grinder thanks to my lovely Mags.

Coffee = good.

I go shopping a few times a week and sometimes every single day. I have a major problem.

We generally buy whole beans from "Whole Foods Market", which are roasted in store. If we can't do that, the Target brand "Archer Farms" of whole bean coffee is a surprisingly excellent alternative at a reasonable price.

Edit to add: Are you anywhere near this store?
