In an attempt to get my sleep schedule back on track from my last job (hectic holiday retail) I tried out 5 Hour Energy which is a 2oz "shot" of liquid energy. The flavor, Berry, sort of tasted like an upscale cough syrup to be honest, heh. I scrunched up my face after the second sip and my boss laughed at me.
Overall, it really only gave me a moderate energy boost...well it was more like a light feeling than a "boost". However, it did keep me from nodding off for the rest of the day at work, haha! Kyle swears up and down by it, saying that he and is wife drink the shot before they go out on the town.
Maybe it only works for certain people or maybe I have to get used to the ingredients or something. I hate feeling shaky or nauseous, so I'm glad the drink didn't give me those symptoms. Anyone have a fave energy drink?
Speaking of my boss, he and my coworker, Kerry, actually are way into MMOs as well! Kyle is heavy into LOTRO and actually has mostly converted Kerry to it from his previous addiction to WoW. After he found out that I actually have an older copy of the game lying around, Kyle sorta talked me into trying it out again too, haha! So I'm actually sitting here waiting for it to update. It has a while to go, lol. Bottom line, I think it rocks to have fellow gamers as my coworkers!
There are a few new photos of Cody on my Flickr page. He's grown a bunch but is still as adorable as ever. I think the most hilarious recent photo is the one we took of him still soaking wet after a flea bath! He was super fluffy after he dried, though, and I think he actually liked it in the water. What a silly cat, right?
I hope everyone had a fab New Years! Have a great weekend as well!

The only energy drink I can stomach is the low calorie Monster. So good!
He he he, what a little cutie Cody is!
The only energy drink I’ve ever really heard of is Red Bull. Apparently it ‘gives you wings’, not that Ms Guitar Angel needs them though ;-) Not sure if it actually works as it’s supposed to but it goes well with a vodka and tequila…
Gem x
Nah - I never drink Energy drinks. I used to drink Red Bull + Vodka when I went out, but not anymore. Those were my teenage-years and I just wanted to get drunk - fast
Cody looks scary in the wet picture. Cute in the others, though.
I’ve wondered if that actually worked, but I generally avoid energy drinks either way. Caffeine does bad things to me.
So have you seen National Treasure yet?
I cannot drink energy drinks. I already have issues with the highs & lows without it.
Max has hubby trained like you all seem to be trained by Cody. We call that something… lmao!
Hahaha my mother used to drink those energy drinks. Frankly, they scare me just a little.
The reason why you didn’t feel it, but your boss swears to it can be put down in one word: placebo (or is it two words? - oh well, I know it isn’t but it could be funny if it was!)
