Goal: Giving up Pop- Day One!!

I have never been a huge fan of alcohol. I drink it at parties and social occasions, but I was never one of those people who drank wine during a meal or have a beer after a long hard day at work. No, my vice is POP! Pepsi or Coke, it doesn't matter, I just WANT it!! I know all the health risks, how there is absolutely no nutritional value what-so-ever and that it is basically just sugary sap. But I love the taste of it!

Six months before we got married, I gave it up and I could not believe how good I felt. But then we went to Disney World for the honeymoon and they had Vanilla Cokes there- VANILLA COKES!!! So needless to say, I started the habit again.


So I am giving up this horrible habit- cold turkey. I am not even drinking diet pop (that stuff will kill you!!). I feel the headache coming on already. So wish me luck! I want to stop this nasty habit once and for all!!

The "Pre-Baby" Bucket List

I have to be honest, I've been having a slight case of  "baby fever" recently (I blame all my friends who've had babies lately)! So when I stumbled upon the "pre-baby" bucket list on-line, I knew we had to come up with our own. Aaron thought it was brilliant!!

Now, as much as I would love to have a cute little bundle of joy RIGHT NOW I always come back to this- I am not ready to not be selfish yet! There are certain things I am not willing to give up just yet- like sleeping in or buying books by the dozen! I want to spend as much time as I possibly can with Aaron before we make this duo into a trio!

Note:

If little baby Fleming decides to show up before we can complete this list- it is OK!!! Just thought I would mention this before I get alot of comments that I over-plan my life and to let nature take it's course, yada, yada, yada....
