What I wouldn't give for a little fizz

I haven't had any soda since New Year's Eve and I've got a killer headache to show for it. I think I've had plenty of caffeine, a Venti tea every morning and all the chocolate I can get my hands on. Cheap chocolate too, almost half of Macaroni's solid milk chocolate Santa. So much for that resolution.

I think I must be missing the carbonation. Every afternoon I start to crave a Pepsi. Or Dr. Pepper. I can hear the pop machine humming from my desk and just caught myself digging for quarters. We're going to Happy Hour tonight to celebrate my new job and I just know I'm going to cave and order a Jack and Cherry Coke. Which makes the real whiskey drinkers turn over in their graves I'm sure, but ever since the almost-mishap-in-Scotland with a cute 21 year old Aussie...I'm not allowed to drink whiskey straight.

So, what else is good to drink? I'm sure we'll be doing shots so maybe I'll just do a wussy Smirnoff Ice or something. Such a horrible dilemma, huh? What am I going to drink at the bar tonight? Sheesh, I'm lucky that this is my biggest problem right now.

I'll be hooking up the high speed internet at home this weekend and hope to finally get some photos and links and stuff up. Here's one to tide you over.
