Mmm, fizzy water.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
What non-sugary drinks to folks have at home? I'm getting tired of water.
I put TrueLemon (they have many flavors) in my water, thanks to ita for that. There's so little sugar it doesn't matter, but it gives a nice flavor.

But then I remembered that Cincinnati has a place called Putz' Creamy Whip that I've never been to, and now I'm thinking road trip. Because PUTZ' CREAMY WHIP.
YES YOU SHOULD DO THIS!
(I'll be damned; it has a website: [link] That picture of the banana split at the top of the page? WITH THE FACE? Is also on the building, and it freaks me out every time I see it.)

Oh, unsweetened cranberry juice diluted with water at about a 7:1 ratio (water to juice) is pretty tasty. Haven't done that in a while but I remember liking it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Some great ideas--cool!

Well, this is going to be anti-healthy, but the talk of cranberry juice reminds me that I had a really good cocktail recently: orange vodka, Malibu rum, cranberry juice, and OJ. I could drink a pitcher of that on the porch, I tell you what.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Man, that sounds good.
And a Blizzard. I don't feel guilty about ice cream. I mean, I don't eat buckets of it, but donuts, cookies, pie (well, okay, I eat the filling and leave the crust, if I'm staunch enough to do that), cake, and pastries are right off the menu, so you damn betcha I'm having guilt-free ice cream now and then.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I'm all about the lemon and orange Vitamin Water Zero these days.

Fizzy water with fancy bitters! I have chocolate, grapefruit, cardamom, and lavender bitters. (Oh hey, the fancy bitters, chocolate, and salt store in PDX does mail order! Whooo!)
I do not want a Blizzard, but that's because I have homemade brownies and caramel sauce from the Infamous BlueJay right now.
I'm trying to be more aware of how much sugar I eat, and I prefer dark chocolate anyway, but I'm not ever giving up sugar in my coffee. Nope.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I have no opinion on blizzards as I have not had one, but I hate that concern troll shit. I notice a lot of folks use their FB posts to be generally judgy of other people. Like one woman I know is always posting shit about other people's parenting choices. I don't get it. She's got a great son, why isn't he affirmation enough that she's a good mom? I don't get the need to follow that up with a dose of "the rest of you are fucking it up."
As for sugar, I am trying to cut down my intake on the refined stuff but somehow I haven't cut down on my glass of wine in the evening even though I know that's probably my main source of sugar at this point. I can usually skip dessert unless we are going to the ice cream store.
