Day 6
Can you believe I gave this up?
What was I thinking?
EUREKA!!
I found my bicycle! (my new old bicycle) The funny part is where I found it. Yesterday after finishing my post, " I'm longing for a new bicycle ," I was lamenting to my husband about how badly I wanted a bicycle of my own. He looked at me and said, " but you have a bicycle." (our vintage Colombia tandem beach cruiser) I said, "I know, I love the tandem but I would like my own bicycle." He said, "You do have your own bicycle... remember you bought one at a garage sale late last summer?" The light bulb went off and the memories came flooding back! All of a sudden I remembered the day I scored my awesome vintage bicycle at a garage sale on Briggs Avenue for $20! I ran to the backyard where it had been covered up with a large brown tarp for the winter. I squealed with delight at the sight of it! I remembered when I bought it it had several small American flags attached to the front basket from being ridden in the 4th of July...

Me too! I reached a threshold where drinking it wasn't even working anymore, especially in the afternoon!
GASP! no coffee? how. on. earth?
i tried it once and i got the worst headaches....green tea was the only solution...
iced green teas from starbucks are my aid on battle the coffee.
but i could never win the battle.
sigh.
yay for you.
(ps. wearing another long tube dress today...made me think of you)

I get those horrendous headaches too. I have to take a couple of Excedrin first thing in the morning for at least a week. I'm only taking one pill now, so it's getting a little better!
Thanks for reminding me about the iced green teas at Starbucks, I love those too!
Thanks for your support:)
Love you!
Hugs to you Theresa xx
I did it twenty years ago, and here i am on round two ....
only two little doses every morning in a white ironstone mug!
mmmmmmmmmm
Madness?
Insanity?
Crazy?
WHY?!
Oh wait... We're supposed to be supportive of people who give up addictions.
But what if it's my addiction too? And I can't give it up? Don't tell me this made you feel better! Please! :)

That said, I can understand your craving and my heart goes out to you...
You are crazy...you need at least a little. Starbucks stock is going way down...better sell. BTW...loved the stuffed dog so much that I had mine stuffed....Love Elizabeth.
Thank you so much for stopping by and to leave a nice comment on my post!
Have a wonderful weekend!

mmm..perhaps you should try more tea or even decaffeinated coffee ?
In any case, have a great week end !
:-)
I can't give up coffee, but I only drink 2 cups in the morning, and then decaf tea later. Sometimes I wake up when it's still dark out and just lay there waiting for it to get light because I want my coffee so badly. Not that I need it - just that it's so enjoyable to drink.
Good luck. I'll catch up with you when I get back.

Thank you for your kind congratulations on our wedding day. If my trips ever take me back to California (and I believe they will), I will surely let you know.
Those first two weeks are going to be HARD....
some hot tea might feel good to replace the routine, they make lots of yymmy decaf ones too!!!
So am I (and my husband). We are on day 7 and have 7 more to go..
Hang on in there!
