Diet Coke atop my Christmas Tree
(Thanks, Candy!)
Well, I’ve run out of fun and interesting events to write about. That’s just how it goes some weeks. I didn’t do anything exciting on Tuesday night and Wednesday was church and no one streaked through the church building, so nothing to write about there.
My leg is doing much better and in fact my plan is to finally return to the gym tomorrow (Thursday) night. I absolutely cannot wait because people, the pants are getting tight and I am in desperate need of some physical activity. I know I will feel better after the first day back and am looking forward to shedding some of these lbs I’ve put on in my four week absence from the bike.
I did want to tell you about something exciting that happened recently. Well, you may not find it so exciting, but I sure as heck did. As you probably know, I love Diet Coke. In fact, I wrote an Ode to Diet Coke in the early days of ye old blog. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t have a Diet Coke, well, rarely a day anyway.
Last week on Twitter, Diet Coke (yes, I’m a follower of Diet Coke on Twitter) tweeted “Final exams are coming up. You know, we make a pretty good study buddy.”
To which I replied, “Amen to that. I became a Diet Coke addict during college finals over 10 years ago and love it still.”
It’s true people; when I was in school at The University of Alabama, I put a dollar in the coke machine in Bidgood Hall and much to my chagrin the machine was out of Coca-Cola and I had to settle for a Diet Coke, probably because I was in immediate need of caffeine; either that or I couldn’t get my dollar back. At any rate, it was the first Diet Coke of my life and I never turned back – I’ve been a DC drinker ever since.
So, back to the Twitter – Diet Coke responded, people! Diet Coke responded to my tweet by saying, “That’s extraordinary. Here’s a Diet coke toast to 10 more years with you by our side.”
Needless to say, it was a defining moment in my life; well, my Twitter life anyway. Diet Coke responded, to little ole me! I could hardly believe it. I think a tear formed in the corner of my eye! Oh, Diet Coke, you do not have to worry. I’ll probably die holding you in my grasp!

What a beautiful story! *sob* No, really, that's pretty neat. I do love me some Diet Coke. We went to Firehouse Subs with the machine that can dispense all manner of unnatural flavors and what did I end up with (after an experiment gone horribly wrong with DC and orange)? Plain, icy cold, Diet Coke. Yum.
That is so awesome!
Little things like that can just make your day sometimes.
LOVE IT!!! haha! Isn't it great when someone responds? I had "Elf on the shelf" respond to a facebook comment. I was stoked! Glad you are still loving the ornament. We put up Andrew's regular coke ornament up too! No diet for that man...no way!
