I never played football growing up because my mom wouldn't let me. I was accident prone enough without adding eleven guys to the equation, all in pads (read: armor)…

Painted Fingernails
I love painted fingernails on a woman. Simply put. There's just something about it that gives a woman that something extra special. It makes her more feminine,…

This has got to be one of the funniest names for TV shows I've ever heard of. Leave it to Beaver? I can't believe that in 1957, TV executives couldn't…

Just like the song says, I'm another day older and deeper in debt. I've always been a fan of birthdays due to that whole "receiving presents" thing. And check this…

My normal breakfast consists of scarfing down a Pop Tart on my way to the office in the morning. Usually because I'm too lazy to fix something healthy to eat.

 After succumbing to the inevitable metabolism death, I underwent The Great Diet Switch . Since that fateful day when I swore off regular sodas, I have rarely to drink one. When a diet choice is available, even a particularly nasty one, I always take it.
Such is my commitment. Even though I haven't lost a single pound, I haven't gained any either. Victory or Mexican Stand-Off?
Either way, during my quest, I have learned some very important lessons.
One: Mother Nature always wins. There are certian rules in this Universe that can't be altered or broken. And she made them all. Two: Two green tea bags, half a packet of Sweet-N-Low and a single serving of Crystal Light mixed with 64 oz of water is heaven in a bottle. The Lemonade Crystal Light is the best, just the right amount of sweet with bitter. Simply refreshing.
Three: Some drinks can never be diet. They are awful, no matter what. Off-brand diet colas always upset my stomach (read: give me gas) and usually taste like they forgot to add something. Namely, the taste.
Four: Some diet drinks, however, are amazing! Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper tops my list. I call it liquid candy. My next choice would be Wild Cherry Diet Pepsi. Do they put real cherries in there? Third would be a tie between Diet Sundrop and Diet Mountain Dew.
I may have had to give up sugar as I've gotten older, but I need not give up taste. Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper is proof of that. One more question, when do I get paid for this raving endorsement? I'll take a case of the stuff, anything!
