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.

We made it to Friday...

Made it to Friday, I thought to myself as I opened my eyes to my fourth snooze alarm. It's been a long and busy (in a good way) week at work and home and I am looking forward to day two of our book organization project at school. Made it to Friday,  I say to myself as I get out of bed and become instantly anxious at the thought that I... Made it to Friday... The thought became scary... Scary because tomorrow is Saturday and we are hopping on an airplane to fly to the Bahamas in less than 24 hours. Don't get me wrong, I love Fridays, I love the thought of being in the warm sun, I love the thought of Friday before spring break...but... I hate the thought of flying (even in first class). We made it to Friday, I tell myself, this time in a bummed out way because tomorrow is Saturday and I have to fly. Flying makes me nervous. I am still having trouble deciding which movie I will watch during our 3.5 hour flight. Usually I feel ok once I have a good distracting movie picked out and ...

“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...

Gratitude  On this last day of the blogging challenge I woke up feeling grateful. Grateful for the opportunity to participate in this challenge that forces me to find small parts of my day that stick out just enough to write about it. Grateful for waking up on this beautiful island on day two if our spring break vacation. Grateful for all the people I have around me everyday. Grateful for the opportunity I get to sit with the little humans and enhance their already wonderful minds. Grateful for my beautiful little family. And most importantly, grateful for this wonderful life.
