my deal with myself

Diet Coke, I love the stuff.

I have TRIED and TRIED and TRIED to kick it and cannot.

There is a contest going on right now that you can enter a pin and get a chance at winnig $25000.

Would we not all just LOVE to win it.

As I was having a conversation with my self( I tend to do that every now and again) I was trying to convince myself to give it up once and for all.

Then I was thinking about winning the contest.

$25000, that would be nice!

And, without realizing I said it, to myself of course, I said,

"If I win the $25000 contest, I will give up Diet Coke."

I looked around to be sure no one else was saying it.

I shocked myself!

Yup, it was me who said it.

I know, my chances in winning are slim to nil.

I have a total of 3 entries to the how many of millions of entries.

AND, it depends on how many gold Canada wins.

Yup, you see my chances.

Then, I was actually brave enough to say it to the Mr.

He was shocked.

Can't say I blame him, I am too.

I did say though that if I did win and had to drink a Diet Coke for promo reasons, I would.

Then, that would be it.

I know, now that I said it aloud I cannot go back.

I have tried so many things.

The last attempt was when Jason went away for the summer.

I decided to give it up the day he left.

That was bad for so many reasons.

So, there you have it.

That is my deal with myself.
