Still on holiday, but there are things to share. I WAS going to talk about my New Year’s resolutions, but I’m still pondering them.

One of them, however, I’ve already started. FAREWELL to Starbucks grande soy no-water tazo chai. YES. I’ve officially quit that dreaded drink. Well, it’s been two days. And, Gorgeouses, I feel like ARRRRRRRRRRSE! Not only am I in MAJOR caffeine withdrawal, but I’m also in MAJOR sugar withdrawal. In a word: EXHAUSTED. YOU try to give up your daily sugar-caffeine-fix-in-a-GRANDE-cup, and see how YOU feel. It’s brutal. BRUTAL. I’m exhausted and headachy and a little depressed because that thing had serious pick-me-up powers. POWERS. It’s totally like quitting cigarettes — a lifestyle! It’s like sitting at a bar the day you quit cigarettes (in university): sitting across from this guy, one hand holding a beer and the other hand empty, and you’re all, like, WHAT are we going to talk about…and suddenly bars aren’t so fun anymore….

I WAS able to go to Starbucks today without caving and buying a chai. A good sign. When I got home, though, I was exhausted and weary and NEEDING STIMULATION. So, I grabbed a cookie. And another. And another.

Well, one thing at a time. I won’t be hard on myself. In place of the chai, I’ve been enjoying my morning smoothie in a Starbucks mug….

In other news, I got an awesome haircut from THE MAN Henry at Calia….

I look TIRED. And, of course, that’s Uniqua from The Backyardigans in the background. The Monkey’s obsessed. There are no words. At least not right now. Too tired. Need caffeine. And sugar. Just….

Wings!

Here’s Cat in the Cupboard — Tigger being mischievous….

Oh wait, I know what I need. More water. WATER will help me get through the WITHDRAWAL. Lasts longer than COOKIE and makes hair and eyes SHINE. Going to get some right now.

If I don’t blog before Thursday (still technically taking bloggy holiday), HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Love!
