Give Up Something for Lent

Okay, so, I was raised Catholic but haven't been to church in a few years. I say God's name in vain a LOT and the only blood of Christ I've drank lately is straight from the chalice of St. Charles Shaw.

I am definitely not the type of person who would give up something for Lent, which is every reason why this blog is going to help make me extra holy this year!

That's right folks, I'm doing it ... I'm giving up something for Lent.  But ... not just any old thing. F the people who just give up fish on Friday. Weak! I figure if I'm going to do this -- I'm going all or none.

So with that said, I am scared as all hell to announce that, as of tomorrow, Feburary 16, 2010 I am giving up my ultimate vice ... Diet Coke.

Hello, my name is Stephanie and I'm addicted to Diet Coke. Yup, that's me. The liquid that stains your internal organs and guarantees my great grandchildren will have fingers on their earlobes,  is the same liquid I love love love. Forget a Diet Coke break, I bathe in D.C. My veins are flooded with it and my eye balls are red as all hell 24/7 because of it. Did I mention I'm a Diet Coke rewards member? Many a magazine subscription has been funded thanks to the good folks at Coke.

So here it goes, goodbye my love.

I will keep you up to date on my detox and all the people I piss off in the process.

PS -- By the way, I would like to apologize in advance to anyone I work with, including all friends and loved ones. Cranky will be present  over the next 40 days and 40 nights, and I have no idea how my body is going to react to this.  Get ready for the ride ...
