Ya know, I went YEARS without any soda. One day you have a drink and bammm! I'm a drinker again. It's not even about social drinking anymore! ....I drink it when I'm alone too. I know, the shame. My children ask me to stop and I get angry, my husband has a look of concern when I crave washing my dinner down with a cold, one, I just can't get through the hard times with it it!! :)
I too struggle with this...I will go months without and once went an entire year....then I'm back on it again! My vice is Diet Pepsi..love it!! Especially diet Cherry Pepsi!
I think a lot. When I don't understand something, I think about it. Lately, I've been thinking about running. Not as in, "I think I should run." More like, "Why in the hell are all these people running?" The only time I remember running on purpose was when my sister was chasing me with a butcher knife.

The backyard is where he played and ran from the torments of his older brothers. He can name the families that live in the houses up and down the street. If we went to church with my in-laws, there would be many worshipers who could tell me stories about my husband and his childhood antics. They'd smile and resist the urge to pinch his cheeks. My family moved a lot when I was growing up. A lot. There were two very long trips between Idaho and Arizona that I remember well. Laying in the way-back of our green station wagon, watching the sky fly by at a brisk 75 mph. Mom packed lunches and wet washcloths in plastic bags for the long journey. Stops at the rest area were mini adventures where we were left to explore the rocks and cactus. The house where we lived dur...
