Celebrate (Again)

I just realized that I had two very good reasons to celebrate yesterday and today.

Fist, Yesterday marks the two year anniversary of my decision to give up diet soda. Those of you who know me well know what an addiction I had. To give you some idea, I was, at the end, going through a 24-pack every two days. I'm not addicted to the caffiene but to the chemical in asparthame. It's that Phen-whatever-you-call-it chemical that's listed on the back of the can, and it's very very bad for you. Yay two years asparthame free!

Also, the reason to celebrate today is that today is (I believe) the longest day of the year and the first day of summer. I always think that I'm going to throw a party on the longest day of the year, and it is always some lame day of the week like Tuesday. At any rate, celebrating the Soltis would probably make me a combination pagan hippie. But I celebrate it anyway. Yay Summer Soltis!

The longest day was kind of lame in MN. It was blasting hot, kind of humid, and sort of buggie.

Jeff-- I appreciate your comments; the day was definitely all those things, and I might add, really f-ing long for a work day. The longest day of the week should be a Saturday so we can all enjoy it.

That said, it was beer night, which made me happy at the time. Although probably not now.
