Diet Coke

On most days I enjoy a diet coke with my lunch. I know how bad it is for you (aspartame) but it satisfies a craving like no other. Yesterday I forgot my diet and I was very sad. I sat there with my lunch missing my bubbly friend and decided I would write an acrostic poem.


Delicious
Irresistible
Everyday lunch item
Tates better than Coke Zero (In my opinion)

Canned Diet is my fave
Obsessed
Keto-Friendly
Euphoric


I know I share this obsession with many other colleagues... It's nice to work with people who get me :-)

    Ha! It always makes me sad when I forget my favorite lunch work treat (a square of dark chocolate). I have been seeing so many fun acrostic poems, and this is one of my favorites. Will definitely have to try this at some point this month!

    YES. Diet Coke is far superior to Coke Zero. I read somewhere that men tend to prefer Zero, and women prefer Diet Coke. My new rule for myself is I can only have it when I eat out. I don't keep any at home. Sometimes you just need that fix though!

    Mmm... I do love Diet Coke - and I limit myself severely because I know it's not good for me. I, too, would be sad if I left mine at home on a day when I planned for it! Love the acrostic poem - especially the parenthetical phrase!

    For me it is peanuts.

    Nice acrostic poem. Equally yummy sharing. :)

    Best wishes.

“You don’t sound like your name is Ana.”

My husband and I have pretty tricky names. Tricky for others to pronounce and even trickier when people try to spell them. We are really spoiled with delicious takeout options  in the area where we live and will oftentimes order in on the weekends. I’m usually the one to place the orders via the phone because I have dietary restrictions (low carb diet). When placing the orders I always tell the person on the phone my name is Ana just to avoid any confusion and it works like a charm. This morning was different. I was up pretty early feeding my niece and my ever so thoughtful husband asked if I wanted some breakfast takeout. We usually never order out for breakfast but today was different. We were too tired to cook. He dials the number to our favorite breakfast spot that’s about two minutes away from home. He places our order and at the end the person on the other line asks him; “what name should I put this order under?” He replies without thinking; “Ana...” We hear a long pause unt...

Intentions

I chose intentions as my "One little Word" this year. I was chatting about work/life with one of my best friends who has been in my life for over 17 years a few months ago and she gave me probably the best advice I needed in that exact moment, which was to set my intention each day before arriving at work. This happened to be around the same time that my colleagues were sharing their "OLW's" and I thought I would try it out as well. I thought about my conversation with my friend and it hit me...intentions... I wasn't sure if it was the right kind of word but it felt right to me. It is a word that could fit in every aspect of my life. I am constantly thinking about my intentions and they have quickly become the fuel of my day to day. Intentions. Setting  the  intention. Treating people with good intentions. Doing everything with the best intention no matter the situation. What's your "OLW"?

What Day Is It?!?

I open my eyes and peek at my phone to look at the time. OMG!! It’s 6:50 I yell to my husband as I jump out of bed freaking out that I have to be out of the house at 7:15 to go to work. I run to the bathroom kicking myself for not having remembered to set my alarm. I look in the mirror at my disheveled hair thinking about how I’m going to tame it and get ready in less than 15 minutes. I rush to grab my phone so I can text my bff/coworker to vent to her that I woke up late. I start typing a message to her and I notice a text that she sent late in the evening yesterday about her having gotten home from dinner. I stop in my tracks because I know very well that she wouldn’t be getting home late on a work night (we pride ourselves in early bed times) and I walk over to my husband and ask; “What day is it?” “It’s Saturday...” he replies. I put my phone down and get back into bed, heart still pounding and ask him why he laid there watching me as I ran around frantically. He just responds “I d...
