Caffeine High!

I can’t sit still any longer!

Have you ever had one of those days?

You just want to get up and dance, or go for a run (and I hate running) or heck maybe stand on your head in the corner and stack bee-bee’s with your nose…. (yeah don’t ask)

Well today… I’m having a case of the Friday’s where I want to do something besides just sit.  I think part of my problem is I had way to much caffeine… and that’s not much seeing as though I’ve been weening myself off of it.  It’s a slow process but I’ve been trying to up the water ante (you know, like poker). 

I used to drink pop (or as some of you call it Coke or Soda) by the gallon fulls.  And then one day it didn’t taste so hot.  Today I was in the mood for a Coke (literally, that’s my fave) so I got one.  For usually only drinking a couple sips of pop a day, going to a 20oz Coke will send your system in to over drive.

I don’t drink coffee usually… really only drink that when I’m in desperate need to stay awake (like around New Years).  My Sophomore year of high school I fell asleep 10 minutes before midnight, so my junior year the guy I was dating, his family pumped me full of caffeine so bad it made me sick.  Coffee with hot chocolate, creamer, and sugar.  Wow that’ll send you into overdrive.  I didn’t go to sleep that night well until 8am the next morning when I crashed for 8 hrs.

I know, how American am I for not drinking coffee.  My grandparents couldn’t believe my mom didn’t drink it.  They spent many nights over a pot of coffee making horse deals.  That was their income… selling/trading/breeding horses.  In fact they had the #1 stud to breed your Arabian mare to in 1978.  Yeah he was that good.

So when I started out here to work my then boss (and even my now boss) live on coffee.  She couldn’t believe I didn’t drink coffee and lumped me in with the now day adults who drink pop as a morning wake-up call.  But anyway… I’ve been trying to give up pop… wish me luck 🙂

Happy Friday!

    Have I ever told you that I sing Christmas songs year round?  Well, it’s true.  I’m sitting here in an air conditioned house, while it is 91 degrees outside and supposedly feels closer to 100 and yet I’m sitting in here, in the house, singing We Wish You A Merry Christmas in my head.  Am…

  1. My husband and I drink wwaaaayy too much pop. I dare not reveal the true number. (It's scary.) I've tried to cut back, but I'm not very good at it. Some days I can limit myself to two, but if I get nervous or bored I just keep drinking. Good luck with it. I try to drink more water. I can do it if it has crushed ice and I can crunch it. It makes me feel like I'm eating something. (Or I just have that iron deficiency thing…)

  2. LOL, you are so funny. I don't drink coffee either. I've got two aunts who drink it by the gallon, but that's about it in my family. I'm a tea drinker, but I've switched to decaffeinated several years ago. I can drink TONS of tea though……

  3. Pop! Diet coke is the only one. And don't give me that generic stuff either. Blah! The most I can handle is two. I prefer to be at one but such is life. haha. Good luck.

  4. I used to not be a big coffee drinker, either, and I guess compared to some I'm still not, but I do like my Starbucks 🙂

    Very cool about the Arabian stallion. The market is sure different now days. It would have been very neat to have been a part of it during the heyday, back then. I bet they have all kinds of neat stories!
