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!

    Hi, have we met? I’ve been in a funk here lately and I really hate it. In fact, yesterday a couple friends said hi to me and I barely acknowledged them. I promise, I’m not a snob. Life has been throwing me curve ball after curve ball and I’m just in a funk. I think…

    Blog Crisis

    Why do you blog? Why do I blog? Why does anyone blog? Lots of questions with lots of different answers depending on who is answering the question. There is no black and white to the answer, it’s all gray. I’ve been debating why I blog a lot here lately. At one time I had a…

  • The Saturday That Was

    Saturday morning I was going garage saling with my sister in law and mother in law. It was the city wide garage sale. So I set my alarm for 6:15am to get up. They were supposed to be here around 6:30-7. At 6:40 Tbug came in waking her dad up telling him someone was here….

  • Let there be rain….

    And there was rain. Lots and lots of rain. And flooding. Did I mention the rain? The day after Christmas we got rain. And flooding. And the rain. And flooding. They compared this to the flood of the fall of 1993, I’m not sure it was quite that bad, but it was bad. We lost…

  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!
