A Little Ad-Vice

"I drink a lot of Diet Coke and belch. I've been known to use the f word."
~Carter, Helena Bonham

Now there's a gal after my own heart. I don't have many vices but Diet Coke is definitely first on the list. I give it up for long periods of time; but like a bad penny it sneaks its way into my fridge. Before you know it I'm downing 3 or 4 a day. Addicted???? Perhaps! What do you call something that calls to you from the breakroom, that you have to have first thing in the morning or you suffer terrible headaches, that starts off as "just one" little can and then leads to another and yet another. Hmmmm, I sound like any other addict, don't I. Well should I give it up? After all it is the new year, a time for resolutions. Instead, the next time I pop the tab on a fresh can, I'll really take the time to see what it is exactly that I enjoy about it, because come to think of it, a Diet Coke is really not all that delicious!
