More Signs I Am Actually a Grown-up (getting old)

I went to a Home and Garden Party with a friend last night. Not only did I go, but I also actually liked the pottery, candles and artwork that she was selling (this would be that sign I am getting old - I mean am a grown-up). And I talked my friend into throwing a party (which I think I am supposed to be co-hosting), because I really wanted to go to another one (when I actually have some money to spend).

Anyway, at the party we were talking about how coke (the soda, not the drug)can clean the corrosion (gunk) off of a car battery. I started to think about that and realized that it's time to give up sodas. I am entirely addicted to sodas, and more importantly from 6:15 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. feel like I absolutely cannot function without A LOT of caffeine!!!! So I figured it's best just to cut them out completely and suffer through the withdrawal for a couple weeks and then be done with it. Of course, I will probably just replace the 60ozs of diet soda with tea, which of course I drink sweet, so instead of flooding my system with artificial chemicals I will be consuming 600-800 calories on beverages a day...I'm really not sure how this is going to help, but we'll see. And I know I should only drink water, but there is no way I could go off caffeine during my last month of school!!!!! But at least I won't be consuming drinks that eat away at my insides!

I am really, really trying to lose weight and get healthy so we'll see how this all works out :)
