i wish i could quit you.


oh, who are we kidding? i would never* quit diet coke!

so one of the many perks of my marvelous job is that you can literally have all the diet coke you want. it's back there in this fridge thing, and you're allowed, nay, encouraged, to have at it. the one complaint i have about this system, if i may make one, is that the stock is never really up to par with my coldness standards. picky i know, but when you once drank diet coke from a sippy cup (or was it tab? i don't remember. i was 1. jk. i don't think my parents gave me tab in a sippy cup...), by the time you're an adult you kinda like what you like if you know what i mean.

i like a dc that's been waiting all day for you in the back of the fridge. you pop it open (chipahhh) and ice forms on the top. the can looks frosty when you set it down. you wonder who invented diet coke, and if they're still alive to accept some fan mail or maybe a big kiss from you. you suddenly remember stuff you have to do, and you have the wherewith all to actually do it.

but i've gotta say that this week, the work coke has definitely gotten colder. definitely. and i could not be happier.

the end.

*unless i got an ulcer. then i would have to quit. you can die from those things, you know?

The best coke in a can is from Your G. Woolums garage fridge. You know the one, the ice thing is happening and everything. Some day I will have my very own cold garage fridge.
Diet Coke totally helps me diet too. But here is the thing, I only have a Diet Coke when I have had at least 3 bottle waters in the morning. I like to pick up a 44 from my fav Mr. D's because they are 59 cents right now around noonish. Then sometimes one when I am cooking dinner.
Now that you know my diet coke schedule now you can go on living.

As a person who suffers from ulcers, I can tell you that you don't have to quit carbonated beverages... you just need the super-sized Pepcid Complete nearby! My favorite flavor is Berry!
