Now that we are married quite a few of our relatives and friends are all over us like rice pilaf on a junior high school cafeteria wall to get with the babymaking.  This is partly our fault.  We let it slip to a few people that we would most likely start “trying” soon after the wedding.  Our friends and relatives have taken this a little too literally.  At least three of them, so far, have demanded to know what is taking so long.  Because oh my god we’ve been married for three weeks and we’re not fertilized yet?  We’re SO LAZY!

You need to know this to understand the reaction I got yesterday when I posted “I just drank my very last gulp of caffienated Pepsi for the forseeable future. I decided to mark this monumentous occasion with a tweet.” on twitter (dear internet, how do you get those nifty screen caps of your tweets for your blog??) and something similar on facebook.

Holy jump the gun there a little bit why don’tcha Batman!

For the record, no I am not pregnant.  Sorry.

I have decided, however, that I am going to cut out the caffeine now instead of later.  I’m kind of a Pepsi-holic and I figured that weaning myself off of the stuff, or going cold turkey, is better done well before there is a wee one being built.  So, after I finished up the last of the Pepsi leftover from the wedding reception, I called my caffeinated Pepsi consumption done.  For until at least after the birthing has finished–whenever that ends up being.

This is all a very longwinded way of telling all of you out there in blogland that today is my first day sans soda and I? is hurting for some cola.  When we were in high school my friend Wendy used to have “coffee spasms” in which, out of nowhere, she’d suddenly start twitching and shaking her hands and saying “need coffee.  neeeeeeeeeeed coffeeeeeeee” and people?  I very nearly walked myself over to the store to cave in and buy some damn soda.  It took quite a lot of strength to not do it. I used to laugh at her.  I kind of get it now.

Yes I realize that it is pathetic to be addicted to soda but here I am.  Day 2 in the office (still awesome and loving it), day 1 sans caffeine.

Forewarned is forearmed.
