Fizzy up the Girl

In case you don't get the title reference, I was just listening to the Goo Goo Dolls.  And I drank a Coke today!  For the first time in a month (#46).  Wow, was that sweet!  (in the syrupy sugar-high kind of way)  And so refreshing!  It also left kind of a gross film in my mouth that made me feel like I needed to brush my teeth.  Interesting.  I actually didn't really notice any difference in how the sugar or caffeine made me feel afterward, but I can't say that I wanted to rush right out and drink another one.  So I think was a good task, because it did definitely break my cycle of drinking waaaay too much pop.  Hopefully I can keep it to a minimum for a while.  But if not... well, I have to do this two more times!

I got the last of all my CDs onto my computer last week (#40).  It turned out to be a good project for my day off, because I needed to keep my knee up and give it a rest.  I actually really loved going through all my CDs, because I kept seeing things I had forgotten about, and now I am very excited about getting some of the "oldies but goodies" back into my listening rotation.  It also made me realize that I need to make a more concerted effort to find my stereo and my cassette tapes, because I have a lot of really good music in there somewhere!!  I was kind of late jumping on the CD bandwagon, so all the music from my college days and for quite a while after that are on tape.  I need my music!  I have also downloaded a few more CDs from Amazon (#45) from artists I haven't normally listened to before.  In fact, I've spent the last hour or so previewing some new albums!

So that's it.  Not too much else going on other than trying to make it through work and gearing up for my best friend's 40th birthday celebration in Vegas.  (counting the days, hours, and minutes!)
