dangling my feet off the edge of the wagon...

... looking longingly at pop. It's true. After a solid six months of being pop-free, I've found myself thirsting for its crisp, fizzy, sweet goodness. I'll be honest and say that I've even succombed to the pressure to drink a can recently. Sad, but true. In fact, at this moment right now, I will openly admit that I am enjoying a 20 oz. bottle of Diet Dr. Pepper. For me, Diet Dr. Pepper is the perfect pop, with the exception of a can of Mountain Dew after a day of horseback riding. For some reason, that combination is unbeatable. But, if no horses are present, I'll take me a Diet Dr. Pepper, please.

I'm not ready to say that I've fallen off the wagon for good yet, but I will say that I'm dangling my feet of the wagon. I did jump off the wagon and am walking beside it right now as I drink my Diet Dr. Pepper. I'll jump back up on the wagon as soon as I finished it. Ah, self-discipline. You've escaped me yet again.

On another note, I realized something depressing today as I was paying for my lunch. I paid $3.92 the morning for a medium decaf, sugar free vanilla, skim latte this morning from Caribou. I paid $3.76 for a delicious lunch of a huge ham and cheese omelette, hashbrowns and a big bowl of fruit. I'm right to be disturbed at the price of the coffee, right? Especially in comparison to the price of my lunch. I feel kinda sheepish for actually buying lattes.

Drip coffee it is. I'll hop on that wagon, too.

Two thoughts, said in love:

1. Um, hate to break it to ya but you ARE off the wagon if you are currently drinking a pop.

2. What is the point of spending nearly $4 for coffee if all you get is decaf? I'm just sayin'...

:)

Very good points.

1. I was in denial. And I'm back up on the wagon now that my pop is officially gone. I'm not ready to totally abandon this process yet. :)

2. I think I shall make my answer to your question a blog. Because, my friend, my husband asked me the same thing. I am disturbed that the answer isn't obvious.

Too funny!

I've NEVER fallen off the wagon, I've just been nice enough to relinquish my seat to someone who needs it more, after all, we can't ALL be on the wagon can we?
