I'm all about Minute Maid's new Light Lemonade and a host of other 5 calorie flavors they have out right now. This link says it's been available for years, but I've only seen it recently. I love it.
I was intrigued by the rave reviews for Diet Coke with Lime by two blogstresses that I read regularly and being a lime fanatic, I took the bait. But I have always had a fairly low tolerance for stimulants so although the taste was rather pleasant, the caffeine made me more edgy and unpleasant than usual. So yeah on the Lemonade!
'Course the light lemonade is necessary because I am dieting and have switched from e-diets to Weight Watchers Online. My friend Allison suggested it and I am way into it. Their point system is like a game, and that is right up my alley. We'll have to see how I do, but I have been making it into the gym at least 2-3 times a week and I have been sticking to a diet for a little while. Yet the scale is not really saying anything. The official weigh-ins are Mondays so that's what I'm going to concentrate on. Wish me luck.
And I've vowed to write more honestly. Like about work for example. For a while now I've been freelancing back at the place I used to work many, many moons ago. It's a place where I grew from a secretary to a copywriter to a creative director. Maybe a little too fast. But I learned so much and that growth was just a sign of the times. One of the biggest lessons I learned is that just because you know how to do something, you don't have to do it. I'm really glad I've re-committed to writing. I feel like I'm beginning to find a voice, and that is really important for a writer. Hopefully, it's a voice that can inform all the other writing that I do. We'll see.
I've written before that working at my old place is like sleeping with an old boyfriend. You know that you're broken up, but the chemistry is right. Still, you both eventually fall into your old habits, and the thing is: you really want to get married but your old company doesn't want to put a ring on your finger, it wants the milk but not the cow, and you get frustrated. You start to freelance at other companies, you try to make your company jealous, but it just doesn't care. It doesn't. even. bat. an. eyelash.
But anyway.
I do have tons of client work right now, fun stuff, will elaborate later. Springtime weather has brought out lots of cute men lately, lots of Smiley McGees, which is one of the many names I have for Miss Mia, who is finally, I think, starting to feel more comfortable at day care. She had a very good report today and she, too, was a Smiley McGee, all the livelong day. And that, of course, is what it's all about.
