My New Addiction

For sixteen years I did not drink a can of carbonized soda. Then I remembered how much I used to like cream soda. I asked my husband to bring some home from the store. This was the beginning of my intense sugar addiction. I now drink two to three cream sodas a day. Some cream soda cans are worth almost two hundred calories. The ones I drink are worth two hundred and ninety calories each. I make no apologies for my addiction; it has sweetened my life.

I feel the same way about Dr. Pepper. Some days I have trouble limiting myself to only one. Confession day... thanks, Caren.

I have to say I got along for years without one and now they are being brought out a full TV tray at a time.
