Grocery Shopping Sans Diet Coke

See anything missing from this grocery shopping cart?
Hell yeah, you do.

Ugh. No. Diet. Coke.

You have no idea. Normally when at the check-out, I see my favorite treat ...

 ... an ice cold D.C. -- perfect for an instant check-out buzz. Instead, I just stared. Long. And hard.

Oh, the sweet nectar going down my throat. The flirty bubbles tickling my nose.  The rush of caffeine straight to my head.

I went home and drank a bottle of wine instead.
