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!
NO COFFEE!! But coffee is so so so so so so so yummy!
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…)
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……
I am a coffee girl myself, and when I drink pop I think it is the sugar more than the caffiene that sends me for a loop. good luck on your quest
Story of my life 🙂
My husband drinks Diet Dr. Pepper in the morning when I grab my java.
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.
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!
