Happy Canada Day! I hope you can all sit your bums down on your chesterfield for a while, have a spot of tea (OK that may actually be British) or some homo milk and some Timbits, and dab your face with a serviette before having to run off to the washroom.
Just a little Canadian translation humour at the expense of our friends up North...but I do hope everyone enjoys the day. We would usually put our flag out, but on Memorial Day a strong wind ripped our flag post right out of the bricks. Liam and I did do an online jigsaw puzzle of a Canadian flag though. Did you know there are a ton of online jigsaw puzzles out there? I don't know why, but I was suprised by that.
I'm down South struggling with my caffeine addiction this week. For those who don't know, I drank NO caffeine for years. Probably 4 or 5 years. Then while I was pregnant with Natalie I started to crave it again, and after she was born I had a caffeinated drink...occasionally. Then after our move last year I had a Starbucks or two...and it turned into an every morning thing to have one of those sugary, refrigerated, buy from the grocery, Starbucks frappucino drinks. And sometimes a soda with caffeine in the afternoon. I know, this sounds like small potatoes to most people who drink coffee and soda. But for whatever reason, caffeine has a very strong effect on me. It contributed to my bizarre sleeping issues (won't go there here), and even if I am drinking only one a day, if I skip a morning I get a ferocious headache and become extremely irritable. So I decided to quit again, about a week ago. But then on Sunday, there was a coupon for a Free iced coffee at Starbucks. Curse you Starbucks! I asked them to make it decaf...but they said it wasn't really meant to be that way...so I ordered it the regular way. And now I am on-again and off-again, and have constant head aches. I think I have to decide if I'm for it or against it, as Bush might say... Oh caffeine, why do you torment me so...
