no shakes, no headaches

Update on the ever-exciting topic of quitting coffee: I'm halway into my second week off the junk, and it's going better than expected. I truly don't miss the stuff like I thought I would. There were probably only 2 days when I had to talk myself out of buying a cup in the morning to help wake me up, and the self-battle was pretty short. I would've thought those self talks would occur daily. Over the weekend, I had one cup of coffee each day, and it was later in the afternoon. Drinking it was more like a special treat than a lifeline. Amazingly, coffee wasn't the first thing I thought about when I woke up on Saturday. Everything's going according to plan.

I could have written a blog today about Rummy stepping down or the victory of the Democrats, but I figured I'd let the rest of the Internet take care of that. Only here, on Zesty Armpit Dance, can you learn how to quit drinking coffee daily and see Condi bust a Thriller all in the same post.
