What You Need to Know About Caffeine…
…using a case study of one…Moi!
You’d better brace yourself dear readers, I’m about to talk about me in the mornings….
Be afraid, be very afraid…. 😉
Actually, I’m going to talk about caffeine using myself as a pitiful, sad example of addiction.
Alas, it is true. I’m as shackled to coffee and diet coke as my Inner Domestic Diva is addicted to her tiara and bon-bons.
Sad, Sad, Sad… Sad I tell you….
Well, I’m going to try to make another attempt at knocking that monkey off my back. I did it once just before I lost my job. I can do it again! I shall overcome! I shall rise above! I shall triumph! I shall persevere.
As soon as I finish my coffee.
SLLLUUUURRRRPPPPP…… Ahhhhhhhhhhh

How do you get to Radio City Music Hall?
![Radio City Music Hall [CC]](https://txcowboydancer.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/radio-city-music-hall.jpg?w=185&h=246 "Radio City Music Hall [CC]")
I feel like the butt of that joke :
“How do you get to Radio City Music Hall?” And the answer is “Practice!”
Well today I did just that and it was an AWESOME PRACTICE! I am such a “high” and want to share it with everyone! No, I’ve not been taking drugs. Hmmm.. Does an extra large diet coke from Jack in the Box count as “drugs”? Well, if it does then that’s it, and that’s all I’ve had! 🙂
But I digress… I do that don’t I? LOL
Ok, ok, I just got home from a most AWESOME practice with my fabulous dance partner Donna. We worked for just under an hour and a half on 40 beats of our Two-Step routine. I don’t know how many steps that works out to because there were some syncopations involved.
All we were doing was going through every step, every move, very slowly and thoroughly and applying what we already know! It is amazing how many things we were able to correct or fix simply by slowing down the process so we could dig through the memory banks and dredge up those things our coaches have already told us to do. And *ahem* [BLUSH] do what we’ve been told. Then once we figured out what to fix, we did it over, and over and over and over and over.
I may be putting some teachers out of business here by depriving them of repeat business from inattentive students…. Read the rest of this entry

Seismic Event Recorded in North Texas…

… the tremor was felt throughout the blog-o-sphere. One injury reported.
One good thing which blogging about my efforts to get into shape does is that it caters to my inner actor/performer. As I move step by step forward on my journey toward fitness. I get to share my successes and revel in the thunderous applause [cue canned applause soundtrack] 😉
The bad part about blogging and sharing my experiences with the whole world, is that when I mess up, well, the whole world knows. Or at least the dozen or so people who are actually reading this blog knows when I fall from grace.
Yes, it is true. I fell off the fitness wagon. The large bang heard throughout the North Texas area and ensuing earth tremor was not the cannons announcing the opening of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, it was me. Hitting the ground. T-H-U-D! Falling from grace. Hitting the gutter. Succumbing to temptation. Crossing over the dark side. I transgressed. I frolicked with chocolate! I was a baaaaaaaaaddd cowboy. *sigh*

We’ve struck an Iceberg in an ocean of Green Tea…
People are slobs. I should know because both my roommate and I are both bachelors. We. Are. Guys. Do the math.
I prefer, however to view the situation at home as “having my priorities in order.” After all, when the great tally at the end of life is done and folks are standing around with little cups of punch balancing small plates of snacks, I don’t think that “He kept a clean house” will be an epitaph by which I’d care to be remembered.
So, what does this have to do with the tea in China? Actually it does have to do with tea. As in the Green Tea that I’ve switched to now that I’ve mostly given up Diet Coke. I’ve only had two (maybe three?–can’t remember for sure) glasses of Diet Coke over the past 2-3 weeks. Yay Me! Go Team Tony! Uh-huh Uh-huh Uh-huh!
So.. I’ve been working on getting everything in place so that can drink Green Tea at work instead of Diet Coke:
- Buy four jugs of Organic Green Unsweetened Tea from Whole Foods — Check!
- Take half of my supply of Stevia from home to work. — Check!
- Snag a handful of individual packets of lemon juice from QT. — Check!
- Feel ever so slightly guilty at snagging the aforementioned lemon juice then getting over it quickly. — Totally Check!
- Remember to buy an extra “souvenir” spill proof container from Disney World while I was on vacation to use as my “Tea Glass” for work with lots of fun Disney Characters on it to make me smile when drinking tea. — Check!
- Take all those items to work. — Check!
Awesome! I so rock! Woo Hoo! You *can* tell this is going too easy right?
