Diet Coke Makes My World Go 'Round

What gets this girl through the day? Why, it's the little things, of course!

There's the sappy, warm your heart things, like seeing baby A's face light up when I walk into the room, getting to see or talk to my husband during the day when I normally would not, or tucking E into bed every night and giving her three hugs, three kisses every time (nothing less will do).

Then there's the everyday things, like getting to cut up while at work, making people laugh and myself laughing REALLY loud, singing along with the radio up and my voice up higher, the painful sense of accomplishment after working out like a dog and making a delicious meal from scratch.

And then there's the really critical stuff, like DIET COKE BY THE GALLON, beer or wine (I'm not particular), blog reading and getting lost in a good book.

And the even smaller stuff that I don't hardly ever realize: that all of these lovely things listed above happen in my life on an almost daily basis. (Especially the beer and wine.)
