Yeah, I walked out to head to work this morn and water was running all over the place from the melt... A nice little respite from the bitter blast, I must say...
It got absurdly warm here last night, and it's fairly warm today, too.

I'll take it and everything, to be sure, but this schizo weather has got to go...

I went to a show at Reliant Stadium a few weeks back and went to buy a coke (16 oz plastic bottle)... 6 bucks. 6 bucks for a coke. I didn't buy it.
Flying back to c-c-c-cold, dreary Pittsburgh this evening. Wish the weather was more cooperative, but at least I'm otherwise more than ready to come home. Miss everyone and miss the regular routine.

That's just sick, isn't it?

On the cruise ship last week, the only drinks you had to pay for were alcohol and soft drinks/soda. And not cheap, either. So I went virtually soda-free all week in favor of water, juices, and coffee (for caffeine). As much as I adore soda, the more I read about it (especially sodas with artificial sweeteners like aspartame), the more it unnerves me. That stuff is just nasty, and since I don't want all the sugar of a regular soda, I'm trying to get back to healthier drinks like water and light juices.
Hi,Antie! there you are.
Hi Jacquie
I'd stop drinking coke, but then I'd have to kill people.
I could care less about caffeine. It just needs to taste good.
I usually drink two diet cokes a day whenever i get up. On weekdays, they're gone by 8 am. On weekends, it might take 'til afternoon. I hate coffee and I stopped drinking tea, so I probably drink about 15 Diet Cokes a week, so Schlemmer's alright by me.
I gave up "regular" soda years ago and switched to Diet as part of a no-sugar vow. There were still times when I was drinking amounts comparable to yourself; 2-3 liters a day. Usually in front of the computer, of course.

These days I've settled into a more reasonable pace of 2-3 cans a day during the weekend, and significantly less on the weekends.
