Do you read my sister's blog? If not, you should. My sister is addicted to mountain dew and writes about it frequently on her blog (not the being addicted part, but the needing one, or hasn't had one, or had one delivered kind of stuff). She drinks so much mountain dew that she will actually call the local pizza place and order an entire pizza, that she doesn't want, just to get them to deliver her a mountain dew. May sound weird until you know that she doesn't drink mountain dew out of a can or bottle just the fountain stuff. Anyway, I have never really gotten the whole mountain dew thing (or coke or pepsi since I know plenty of people addicted to those as well)...UNTIL TODAY!
We are not soda drinkers, unless it is mixed with something else (something of the alcohol variety) we really don't drink soda. But for some reason we have a two liter bottle of mountain dew in the house. I saw it today and this morning decided it sounded good. I poured a hefty glass with lots of ice and IT WAS GOOD. But I have been the energizer bunny all day!
The amount that I have gotten done today ranks right up there with the amount of stuff my sister can get done in a day and those that read her blog know that NO ONE should be able to do that much in one day (seriously read her blog!). Don't believe me...here is the list so far:
- four louds of laundry; washed, dried, folded and put away!
- used new carpet cleaning machine (thank you Chris I LOVE IT!) to clean all of Sam's room, stairway landing, and stairs
- vacuumed areas of carpet that I had cleaned plus three other rooms
- shook out rugs
- fed Sam two meals and four bottles (I have only had one meal; too busy I guess to remember to eat breakfast!!)
- raked/blew all the garden areas of our yard
- swept the driveway (it was drizzling but the leaves in the driveway were bothering me!)
- straightened up bedroom and family room
- played and wrestled with Sam
- did dishes and cleaned up kitchen
- swept entry way floor
- did weeks worth of paperwork filing
- and of course checked email, facebook, and read several blogs!
So that is a crazy amount of stuff for me! I swear this mountain dew is like CRACK!
Stay away people stay away!

now that your done doing that stuff.. can you come study, do laundry, and shower for me?? i've had a (fountain) mountain dew and i still don't have the energy to do what i need to do, i guess that's being a college student!
Mt. Dew is a gateway drug.
I started out drinking it for its smooth goodness, but now I have built up an immunity so I have to allow it to evaporate into a powder, then suck it up with a straw like it's a Pixie Stick. Or I boil it down on the stove until it is a thick syrup, and I eat it over waffles.
One question... well maybe two...
Were you able to sleep that night or had the mountain dew worn off? It would be great to get all that done in one day, but not if it continues through the night. I wonder what the active ingredient is in mountain dew that makes you react like that?
dude. it's the only way i survive. and man it tastes good.
so glad you walked a day in my hyper-active shoes! :)
and i'm still laughing btw at this post, and thinking about you vacuuming and cleaning and running around blowing the leaves off the driveway b/c they were just BUGGING you! so awesome!
like pat said, did you sleep ok? b/c i'm so immune to it i can have a huge one right before bed and still pass out. and did you read Fern's comment? she's freaking awesome!
Jodie I totally think you are heading in the Fern direction. Be careful with this powerful drug.
It's funny that Jodie and Pat asked about the sleeping because I totally passed out and was actually snoring on Friday night (so says the husband, not sure that I believe him). So I think by Friday night the ONE glass of dew that I had that morning had worn off and I had just totally worn myself out!
Thanks for the fun comments!
maybe i should try it! coffee get's expensive after a while! could be good with finals approaching...
