Lent Season

Most of you know I am a very religious person, so I take Lent season very seriously. Last year, I gave up my addiction to coffee. It was difficult to do. Painful in many ways, but it was nothing in comparison to this year. I tried my hand at avoiding caffeinated sodas. This sounds like it's no big deal because I can drink soda, just not caffeinated ones. If you know me, Pepsi and Coke are daily staples in my life. I can chug one down easily. Sprite and 7Up are not the same.

This year I discovered that it can be hard to find restaurants that serve Sprite or sweet iced tea. I know, it's shocking! I've had to come prepared to gatherings with friends to insure I had a drink. I also learned I can smell Pepsi from across the table. It is a cruel world when you can smell it, but can't have it. I have craved it from day one. Certain people, who I won't name, have flaunted their sodas in front of me. They owe me a soda next week.

Which leads to my point. Lent ends on Sunday. I can finally have my first glorious taste of Pepsi again. It will be a wonderful moment. I just hope it doesn't upset my tummy the way the coffee did last year.
