Rebound Relationship

Okay, so I have not completely quit seeing Mr. Dew. I admit in my closet at school I have a 2 liter that I chug when no one is looking but I have had it there for 2 weeks. Also it is my rule that if a student uses the "F" word in the wrong context in class they will bring me either Mt. Dew or Chocolate. (that rule was in place before I decided to change my evil, white trash, unhealthy ways.) So I do have a few unopened Mt. Dews for emergencies.

I decided to try a new love. My sisters have a fondness for Diet Coke with Lime and occasionally I will share this drink with them. I think it is a waste of a drink. No real kick and just a bad headache...

But since I have faithfully been working out with my neighbor friend for 3 weeks now I thought I should do the diet thing. We have made it our ritual to stop in Bloomfield and get a diet drink after working out.

I am about to go back to Mt. Dew. I have not lost any weight and look like a very STRONG Fat woman!!!

I am finally letting go of my oldest and most meaningful ReLationShip!!

As a student at Chandler High School I fell in love. Many days I would walk across the street to Elmers for a secret rondevous. (how do you spell that?) We would share an Elmer's Bean and Cheese. Sometimes I would borrow money for him! Through out all my 16 years of marriage I have remained still in love with this "nectar of the Gods". When I feel down, depressed, tired, lonely, fat or happy I always have this "love" or addiction. I have tried to give up this relationship many times but always return for the sweet nectar.

However Saturday night while watching 20/20 our relationship hit a HUGE Bump. Apparently the people of the Appalachian Mountains in Kentucky have the same type of addiction and relationship I have. They cannot resist the 50% more Sugar and Caffeine than regular Pepsi or Coke... Just as I Love the sugary happy delight. But when I watched a disgusted Dentist talk about the rot in their mouths and watched the doe eyed white trash chugging down my "nectar of the Gods" I fell out of love just a little. Then Lee proceeded to remind me of my own rotting mouth...most likely due to this persistent relationship and my own doe eyes at every 7/11 and Circle K I see.

I have decided to break up with Mt. Dew for good!! It was a good run but I guess I am too old to carry on this relationship. Not to mention too FAT.
