and the beat goes on....

Drummin' in my head! The beat goes on....

Here we go again, Grainiacs!!!  School has officially started in the Strawberry Patch and you know what that means-- crazy-eyed Strawberry!  This is about the time I decide to look for a job or cut my hair or take up a new hobby....read a new book-- anything to keep my mind off my studies!  Or  I become so obsessed with studies that I eat, drink, live, talk all things Christian education.

So how about I go against the grain and act like a true senior (who has a horrible case of senioritis) and just say "who cares!"  You know that book I mentioned a post or two back?  Well it hasn't gotten any better.  No redeeming qualities about it and I'm still scratching my head asking "WTH!!!"  That's the thing about some of these seminary classes.  I like closure.  I like movies that conclude; unless it is a good sequel that I know is coming.  I don't like movies that leave you hanging-- well is she alive or isn't she?  Does the man get the woman?  Yuck, don't leave me wondering- tell me already!!!  So this book is one of those "horrible doesn't end" type of stories.  Phooey; my senioritis is kicking in.

It could be the new semester starting, but I don't think I like my blog anymore.  I started out on a weight-loss journey and I'm still walking that beat.  And the beat goes on....

Earlier I mentioned a crazy-eyed strawberry and I think that crazy is in my head.  Moana is yelling to think of anything other than studying.  So I will push her back and not think about re-organizing a blog or taking up a new project (although I do have some Christmas projects to work on) or.... or.....fill in the blanks and you will be inside my head.

I will tell you one radical thing I did- I gave up caffeine and that includes diet coke (I'm drinking Diet Sprite--I'll give up aspartame as soon as I kick the caffeine habit).  No coffee...maybe a few little chocolates but not huge amounts of it.  Last Wednesday I went on a cleaning frenzy in the kitchen.  Thursday I wasn't feeling well and wound up sleeping most of the day (I'm tellin' ya, housework is detrimental to your health!) so I didn't drink any dark drinks nor did I have any caffeinated coffee.  Friday my head felt like it would explode....so I slept more.  Saturday I wasn't 100% better but I did get out and then back to bed early.  Sunday I was fine.  Imagine, if I get back on caffeine, I have 3 days of detox if I decide to quit again.  I think it will be easier to just stay off the crack and maybe my beat-as in heartbeat- will go on a lot longer.

Happy Monday, Grainiacs.  May the Force be with you (and me!).
