Buh-Bye Again...

For YEARS I didn't drink pop (soda for you weird non-midwesterners)  I'm talking age 16 to 21 I didn't touch it unless it was the only option to drink at a party or something.  When I had to drink it because it was the only option I never cared much for it.  Then I moved in with Tony and his Coke addiction eventually became my Coke addiction too.  Eventually things like Mountain Dew sneaked back into my life, then I traded them all in for the wonder that is Cherry Coke Zero...oh how I love thee... But I'm giving it up, going back to my old ways.  Nothing but water & non-carbonated stuff for this chick.  Even one pop a day is just too many, I'll never give up my coffee so this is my first major health change for the year.  While I wish I had time for that gym membership & trainer to kick my ass, I just don't.  Even if I try to make time its not feasible with our schedules, so I'm trying to make the little changes.  I think a lot about my Dad's heath and what effect that had on his passing, I'm all for making whatever changes I need to to be around to torment my loved ones as long as possible! :)

  Buh-Bye old friend, from now on I'll be the one drooling longingly for you from outside the vending machine!

More & More Thanks

I didn't get a chance to do my thankful post yesterday but I'll make two things today.  First I am thankful for my husband, not to mention the normal day to day things to be thankful for with him.  But I am thankful that he's been so great with allowing me time to start my photography business.  I have always had a huge love for photography and wished for a long time that I had the right stuff to do it along with the know how.  It's still a trial and error learning process but I am loving every minute of it!  I'm lucky that he's been a good sport about the extra time out of my already crazy filled week with working extra weekends lately to go take pictures for an hour or more and then sit at the computer and edit them for hours at night!

I am also thankful for root beer.  Cheap store brand root beer, I can't get enough right now.  My Cherry Coke Zero obsession is still there but right now taking a back seat to Dollar General brand root beer.   Seriously I should just quit it all...but I need some kind of vice to hang on to.
