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!
