Who gets told by 2 completely separate people at different times of the day, to stop drinking so much coffee. Come on!!!! I was informed; at the early years by a super cool outdoorsy kind of hippie dad (he made soy milk for us - fresh) that coffee is acid! It corrodes your insides.... Uggg but how can I give up yet another addiction. I squashed salt, neutralized sugar, cut out all processed foods and junk and I have seriously cut down on the amount of exercise I do at the gym.... But coffee??? I really don't drink that much, I average about 2 cups a day. Then my massage therapist informed me that she was leaving finger prints on my gluts so that I must be dehydrated - I just did 2 hours of exercise and drank a liter of water??? Isn't that enough, not to mention the other 2 liters I had during the day! She suggested that I switch to decaf? Oh man!!! I'm running out of safe addictions here. What is a person with an addictive personally supposed to get addicted to? water? writing? Come on!
ok rant over, moving on to the next topic that has flown into my mind like a butterfly... I was thinking about my day in general, yesterday I had this plan that I was going to get a million things done all before 5! So then just for kicks I thought I would type out what I did today. Don't worry I won't include everything! Just the stuff that makes me look awesome. But first you need to know that sometimes, I actually lie down for a little siesta after lunch. I mean I read Luke his stories and I practically put myself to sleep. It doesn't happen very often but maybe once or twice a week I get a one hour nap! But ohhhhooooaaaa... it is so wonderful. I think I should feel more guilty about telling everyone my little nap secret but I don't, I actually highly recommend it! So there you have it people, I don't make money but when I really need it, I can have a short nap! Seriously how much would you pay for a nap, in the middle of day, after snuggling with your cute little kid :) Warm bed? Ok back to the butterfly thought.
