In A Funk!

Ok, it is true I have been in a funk.  Downtrodden, in the dumps, feeling low, feeling blue and in general not a happy camper. (Just in case your wondering I used a thesaurus :)) I swear if I have to hear one more news cast about the state of the economy I am going to cry.  If I have to listen to Bent say one more time, "things are slow because of the economy."  If I have to listen to our Sunday school teacher go on and on and on (and on and on...get it?) one more Sunday that surely the real estate balloon popping is the sign of the end of the world.  Well I am.... I'm going to...well I haven't really decided what I am going to do.  Maybe hit him and Brent and (who do I hit for the state of the economy?) well just start swinging.

Ohh, all that is a bunch of bunk, yes all that is upsetting but here is the real reason for my funk, my dumps,my blues,my lows.

So if you are one of THOSE PEOPLE you can just stop reading right now.  Just in case I need to, let me clarify who THOSE PEOPLE are.  They are the people who have no longing for the wonderful bubbly goodness of a great diet drink.  They are the people who do not yearn for the yumminess of  23 flavors of goodness.  They feel no desire to stop their day and head to the nearest fountain drink provider and fill the largest cup available full of carbonated wonder. THOSE PEOPLE have no hankering to fulfill their thirst with bubbly, carbonated, yumminess. I dare say that THOSE PEOPLE probably feel the best thing to drink when thirsty is water (said with disgust and cringing).  So as I said if you are one of THOSE PEOPLE you can just stop reading right now.

Are you still here, well if your still here then you will probably understand my umm funk. Especially when I tell you that my friend Wendy has hit again.  She has decided, yes I am blaming this all on her, it would be in my best interest to "cut back" on my soda consumption.  I know, right! I mean just because a person drinks more soda then water a day does not mean they have a problem. Right? Just because your husband while watching you drink a soda says, "Umm, I wish you were that happy to see me." doesn't mean you have an issue. Right? Just because your entire day revolves around your favorite soda fountain providers business hours, does not mean you have a problem. Right? Right? Umm, I'm not hearing any "Right Krissi!" Are you all gone?  Hello, are you there?  

Oh there you are. So I guess maybe their might be a chance that I might be a tad, tiny, I mean just the littlest bit addicted to Diet Soda.  But you know nothing that I can't stop whenever I want to.  Just you know it has been a week and I'm kinda trying to remember why I shouldn't have a soda and I'm kinda thinking that it is the fact that I am not buying my soda that the economy is hurting and I'm thinking that all of America would be much happier if I started drinking my soda again.  Don't you think?

Have you really gone a whole week?!? I'm so impressed. I thought I was doing well when I waited until after lunch for my first can. How long is it supposed to take before the longing goes away? Not that I'm ready to give it up any time soon, just wonderin.

I love church. Oh man. *eyeroll*. Your comment about church at the beginning of this post reminded me of last Sunday.... when Brother Random comes up to us and says "the economy's going down. Down, down, down. You know they have 'bout 50 trains just parked up there in Ogden. My horse, Ol' Paint died when the economy was down. Ain't go nowhere, them trains. Just parked. Economy's goin' down. Down, down, down." (hm, I think I'm going to blog this on my site.)

Anyway,
You can help the economy by buying Sobe drinks. Some are not caffienated, but have natural boosts (ginseng), and they cost more than diet drinks per unit. There ya go, both problems solved, thirst and the failing economy.

A week is good enough Krissi. When Teryn got her braces I told her I would help her stick to her no foods list by not eating or drinking anything on her list with her. She went a total of 2 days while I stuck with it for 3 months. Scott brought home a diet coke one day and I had a "sip", turned into me drinking the whole thing. Something about that 'bubbly goodness' as you called it, reminded me of how good it is. Water is only good with hot cocoa.

Hi, my name is Willow and I like to drink water.

However, I do love, Love, LOVE a nice diet, chocolate coke. Yes, that's right... I like chocolate in my soda. Adding chocolate kinda takes the diet right out of the coke.

As far as your soda ban, I am reminded of a now old song, "the more you suffer, the more it shows you really care. Right" See, you weren't addicted, you were just very caring about your carbonated friend.

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Fantasy Land

The writer of this blog is currently in fantasy land. Meaning there will be no post as she is to busy pretending that she is on the sunny, care free, warm beaches of Hawaii. Apparently she is also under the delusion she looks smoking hot in a bikini and can currently (in the world of fantasy) be found on the beaches of Oahu sporting a bikini top and a grass skirt. Further evidence of how deeply she has entered fantasy land includes some very cute natives making sure her umbrella drinks are full and sunblock applied. The only thing she would like to mention to those of you still dealing with the real world and the endless hours of kids and summer vacation. "The water here is perfect and the sunsets are to die for please feel free to join me."

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...
