Maybe it was the caffeine...

Upon hearing of my discovery of caffinated mints, by boss responded with "Something tells me you don't need any more caffeine." I am pretty sure there are two things I am known for at work, one would be my iPhone. It is my constant companion for good music, email updates, and staying sane between taking phone calls for the county. I have even brought a few coworkers over to the Mac side, and that's not counting the people I talked into iPads.

The second thing I am known for is my love of Diet Coke. Some people wear bracelets, I carry a can of Diet Coke. It is not only stylish, it is delicious.
I tried to cut back.
Once or twice a year I will give it up for around 3 days and spend the entire time tired, achey and generally unpleasant. Yes it is my vice. It is also delicious and when you are having an awful day can seem like the only constant in your life. What is that you say? There are other constants besides Diet Coke? Well at least there are no others of the refreshing and delicious variety.
This past month has been the most stressful of my life.Yet I would also safely say this is the happiest time of my life. Stats homework, working full time, planning a wedding and needless drama are all making me feel like I am slowly loosing my mind.
It was suggested by my pastor that in preparation for marriage we start praying once a day together (Yes that other constant in life I spoke of was Jesus...a bit cheesy I know). This is something I have been wanting to do for some time so I decided to get over my fear of praying out loud and give this a try.
It has been a great experience and a really nice way to connect at the end of typically hectic and stressful days.
This past week I have been waking up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the world. (I have also taken my espresso machine out of storage)
I was so excited about this and thought "Wow! Praying has given me energy and a positive additude! If Jesus can make me wide awake at 7am, well he can do anything".

Funny thing was.... I had this thought as I was preparing my now morning ritual sugar free hazelnut latte with two shots of espresso! :-0
