Friends and Family,
We are gathered together today in memory of a good friend. Today marks 31 days without Diet Coke. You didn’t know I liked Diet Coke. Weird? I never mention it do I.
Diet Coke is not merely a “drink.” It is a lifestyle. By drinking this soda, you immediately enter a club – the cool kids “DC” club. There is no middle ground on Diet Coke. Kind of like skinny jeans and Twilight, you either love it or hate it.
I miss that pretty silver can sweating in front of me – or better yet, a gigantic cup filled with the heaven that is a fountain Diet Coke. We’ve had some good times together. Chats at McDonald’s. Trips to the movies. Refreshing goodness at the pool. QT stops. Drinks with friends. Leaving the Tanner Building for contraband caffeine. Rehydrating 32ozers after runs. Being inspired by the cup during late homework nights. Many epic, epic times.
The good news is this is not goodbye. It’s just see you later. My goal was 6 weeks. Honestly, it’s been easier than I thought. I didn’t have any headaches or withdraws really. I still haven’t determined if that is a good thing. Does it mean I’m not addicted? Or that I’m so addicted that it doesn’t even affect my body anymore? Hmm. And my only real cravings were situational. The pool just isn’t the same. Movies are missing something. My car’s cup holder is lonely.
I'm still not sure when I'll break after my 6 weeks, but Diet Coke and I will be friends again soon. Just limited. It has been a good experiment.

I love it. I will laugh all day at your clever observations. I should try such an experiment. Maybe. One day....
You are so weird! Just when I think you are turning normal...you give up the one thing I truly love...I just don't get you - you weird, weird girl.
When will Kelli start a blog that's what I want to know? :)
I'm way impressed and I need to follow your lead. Maybe we should see who could go the longest. It's just so hard.
