an ode to Mt Dew

dear mt dew, 
i miss your citrus-y sweetness.  i miss your uber-sparkliness and the joy drinking you used to give me.  i miss your yello-green colour.  i miss the hint of orange juice you contained.  i miss ordering you in restaurants and seeing your green cans and bottles in my fridge.  

diet you is not the same, no matter how much i wish it were so.  : (  


however, there are things i don't miss... i don't miss the 600+ calories you brought to my day.  


and so i have switched to diet pepsi, and diet tea, which have no calories.  DP is equally as sparkly, and diet tea is somewhat as citrus-y... : )  


also, i've replaced those calories with: 

i can have a serving of each of these snacks, and still be consuming less calories than i was consuming with you in a day.  even better - i don't need to eat one EACH of these every day!  lol  

so, in closing, i would just like to say - i do miss you, mt dew.  but i'm doing okay without you.  


sincerely,

it's a new flavor by mt dew, and it's pretty good!  the flavor description is that it's a tropical punch dew, and it lives up to that.  and it's kinda the same color as this text.  heh.


i was awakened this morning by a horrible charlie horse in my right calf.  my leg still hurts 10 hours later!  : (  thank the Lord it did not last very long, but it was powerfully mighty all the same.  i apparently did not drink enough water yesterday for how much i was losing.  harrumph.  am trying to chug more of that and i drank some milk today, too.  would help if i had a banana... 


mom didn't call to go to a movie today, so i just putzed around.  washed my hair, watched buffy, finally got the computer to work to finish America's Got Talent and watch the live link for Big Brother.  woot!    it's very weird watching BB this season, because i missed the first show.  i'm reading the BBDish site, but it's hard to get a real sense of who these ppl are.  idk, i'm just struggling this year!  if anyone has any insights from their watching of the show, please share!  


played w/ yet another nifty gadget brought to us by micaela - my writing style is apparently like that of the great stephen king!  : )  whose writing style do YOU share?  find out & lemme know!  


it was nice to have a quiet day, because this week is shaped up to be very busy!  but the fun kind - dinner w/ michelle on tuesday, mom's on thursday, hanging out w/ kathy on friday, dubuque on saturday, and hanging out w/ linda hopefully at some point!  a retired co-worker now has a baking company, and i ordered some cookies & zucchini bread which she'll deliver on ... thursday, i believe.  i can't wait!  i've been craving zucchini bread all summer!  : ) 


that, and some really good garden tomatoes.  bring on the tomatoes!  


what've you been craving this summer?  


ttfn!
