A fond farewell...

I have a very sad announcement to make.  I've been putting it off because I wasn't really sure how to word it but I figured that I should just come right out and say it.  Like ripping off a band aid.

I'm giving up Diet Coke.

Yes Yes I know.  But before you get all judgy and say "oh so you're giving up Diet Coke for that abominable harlot Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper!"  The answer is no.

I'm giving up all soft drinks all together.

AH I know.  All I can say is it's a good thing I'm on vacation from work for the next week because I'm going to be very fussy.  The truth is I'm giving up a lot of things.  We as a family are doing a sort of cleanse and following a new eating plan.  Which is good.  

Although I've said some mean things about water in the past.  And I hope it doesn't hold a grudge.

.....

maybe Crystal Light can soften the blow.

for future reference

You can file these under the "things that have dramatically altered Vanessa's life" category.

Also....I'm sad to say the love affair with Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper has ended.  Diet Coke has been restored to it's rightful place as the only carbonated beverage in my heart....love really does prevail.

Speaking of love that isn't real has anyone been watching The Bachelorette?  I'm so not into Ashley but I've ALWAYS blogged about the Bachelor/Bachelorette so I'm kind of having a moral dilemma...
We'll just have to wait and see I guess.

And speaking of waiting (ahh you see what I did there?!) your wait for the giveaway announcement is almost over!  Pics of the giveaway happening tomorrow!!!
If you want to up your chances of winning I mentioned 2 things in this blog you can send me...

Hint: It's not a venereal disease like the ones the contestants on the Bachelorette get.

Public Apology to Diet Coke

As you all know...I've always had a deep and passionate love for Diet Coke.  On numerous occasions it has actually saved either my life or the lives of the people around me.

One day I was shopping at my local market.  I just wanted a 20 oz of something.  None of the Diet Cokes were cold. But there among the other beverages it sat.  The hot blonde 20 something in the bar to my 40 year old mid life crisis male. 

Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper

And that was the start of my adulterous affair.  

 

So I want to take this time to publicly apologize to Diet Coke.  I am deeply sorry.  We've been through this before with Diet Mountain Dew.  We survived it.  We can survive this as well.  You know you'll always be the one I come back to.  

Please wait for me.

All my love, 

Vanessa
