So Long Dr. Pepper

It occurred to me last night while I was enjoying a few good episodes of Forensic Files on CourtTV that Ash Wednesday is this coming Wednesday and that only means one thing. Yes. The Easter season is starting but I was thinking more along the lines of how I give pop up for forty days and nights starting on Wednesday. Despite talking with my mom about how this Wednesday was Ash Wednesday, it really didn't hit me that today is my last official day of pop drinking.

Every year, I give up pop drinking and immerse myself in milk, water and juice which I know is a lot better for me than all of that carbonated sugar filled crap but I love pop. I have always been a pop addict so you can just imagine me during the first few days of Lent. I literally go through withdraw. It's not pleasant for the people that have to deal with me. Just ask my parents or Melissa.

But nonetheless, I must finish all of the Dr. Pepper I have in the house before I go to bed tonight. There must not be a can left in the house so I will not be tempted. I have never broken during Lent before but that does not me I am strong enough to have temptations around me.

I guess you will be using the bathroom a lot tonight! You could just hide the cans in the basement - but I suppose that really wouldn't work.

I am soda addict too! I went through a 12 pack of coke zero in three days!
