Off the Caff

I've been going to the doctor for various medical problems- nothing serious- but bothersome and each doctor has asked, "How much caffeine are you consuming?"

......

{ crickets }

......

The last doctor said that I should be having no more than 1 small cup of coffee a day. 100mg of caffeine should be the max, and if I want to improve my health I should cut it more than that. She said, "I stopped drinking caffeine to improve my health and my gut."- Whatever that means.

Well maybe I am having too much. So I decided that I will stop drinking coffee, iced tea, soda, and taking medicines with caffeine. How hard could it be?

By 10am yesterday, I felt like I had the worst hangover headache. I never ever sleep in, and yesterday I was dragging myself out of bed at 1:15pm. The headache lingered until about 3pm and then it was just a dull pain in my head and neck. I'm feeling better today, but if it has such an effect when I stop, maybe I was having too much. Hopefully, I will see some health improvements very soon. :)

Rack-O!

A couple of years ago, I went to a tag sale (I love going to flea markets and tag sales in the summer!) and I found this game that I LOVED when I was a kid. I haven't seen the game or played it in years. When I saw it, I knew I had to have it- especially for 50 cents.

Mike isn't a big fan of games, but I convinced him to play against me on Saturday night. After all, I did take him to Arby's earlier, so it was only fair. It was his lucky night because he beat me twice. Maybe these wins will encourage him to play against me more often.

What are other awesome games that you don't really see anymore?

My New Ride

Well, Ronda the Honda wasn't cutting it anymore, so it was time for an upgrade. I went and bought a Subaru Outback. I can put my kayaks on top of it, fit lots of groceries in the back, and it will kill in the snow.

Both Mike and I were acquainting Willie with his new spot to ride in the car. Unless I get a compartment separator, he will be trying to scoot over the back seats.

Can you guess my favorite story?

What do you think?

This was my Photoshop project for class. It was done in the fifth hour of the class after a long day of work. Clearly, I'm not getting my masters in educational technology.

A Kid at Heart

I finished this one and really liked it!

Then I started this one and I'm loving it!

They're making it into a movie and like an obsessed teenager, I've been googling who they are casting for the characters and checking out pictures of the filming. No trailer yet- but I can't wait!

Also like a little kid, I'm counting the number of days left until summer vacation. 8.

I've been throwing the frisbee in the backyard to the dog every night.

I may or may not be drinking coffee out of a Minnie Mouse mug every morning.

This makes its way into the grocery cart every week.

I wouldn't consider this the "#1" source of whole grain- but whatever. :)
