Sunday

for nearly years and years. All that time, she tried to find ways to make coffee palatable to me. I LOVE the smell... just can't stand the taste! And don't even talk to me about adding it to chocolate! YUK! One sip, and I can tell. I know a lot of people say it brings out the chocolate taste in richer tones. To me, it always just dilutes the taste.

I managed, back in my 20's, to switch from regular coke and pepsi, to diet pepsi. And I admit now, I'm hooked. Whether on pepsi, or on the caffeine, I'm not sure. probably a bit of both... oh, well... I made it this many years. And somehow, I don't think my lupus or fibromyalgia can be blamed on either. At least, not from what I've read so far...
