Do me a favor.
You want to kick diet soda?
Don't clean your toilet bowl for two weeks.
STAY WITH ME.
Let it get that gross ring around the toilet, that we only see in Walmart and Gas Station bathrooms...
Then. Take a Glass of your precious Diet Dr. Pepper.
Pour it in the toilet bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes.
THEN FLUSH.

Once you see how crystal clean your toilet will be...
You'll never drink another sip.

THINK WHAT IT DOES TO YOUR INSIDES.

<3 you.

i kinda already knew this in a way. you know the whole pour a can of coke on a battery and watch is clean that sucker up.

i guess i just needed someone else to tell me something sick nasty and i would be cured!

thank you kateri! you are the bomb!

who else have been grossed out? yes, no?  sorry about that. i'm saving your life you know. so technically i'm a hero for sharing! :)


hope everyone has a super duper soda free tuesday!! 

i'm a cheater

yes i said that right. i will fess up on valentines day.

while others are gushing about love, happiness, and unicorns. i will come clean.

my peers, my confidants.


hello my name is erica,
and i am a cheater.


i hate the word but it's true. i'll be judged, out casted, maybe stoned.

but it will all be worth it. i don't care, this is who i am.



i will own this, and i certainly have.



my love and i reunited again, after what seemed like such a long time. it was blissful.






oh and did i mention a doctor too. yeah i know.

i cheated on my no soda people! come on. stop thinking terrible things about me. bahahaha.


sorry katie, i'm a failure.

it's zero points, i just can't turn that down!


have an amazing valentines day folk.

and remember.

"once a cheater always a cheater" & "we were on a break!"

no way, yes way

Well folks it is February.

the month of luv. yes, luv, not love. say it right peeps.

first off, a big happy birthday to my adorable niece who is turning 6 today. can't wait to celebrate with her later today. it's going to be fun.

second, no fizz.  yes i'm joining and supporting miss katie in no fizz February. if you didn't catch that, no soda.

i had my final goodbye to my diet dp last night at dinner.  i'm not worried i've done this loads of times. i just need to stop going back, but alas i can not stay away.

this will help me with number three (even though diet sodas are zero points)

thirdly, did i mention that i started a coolio little program ( i did not pay or sign up for anything official, just the right formula and my handy phone app) called weight watchers. yeah i am. cool points over here. i have my competitive buddy doing it with me aka my seesta (she made me do it. kidding! she asked and i caved willingly).

i figured with all these ladies i know getting pregnant and getting huge why not i get smaller. bahahaha! mean, but true. still love ya friends, no hate. :)


i feel like i'm forgetting something...oh yeah that day my hubby and i don't celebrate till after its over, that's when all the sales are. spending the least amount possible is our kind of celebrating. (yes we are super lame, but we are thee coolest) :)

make it a great day!!

transformation

So we are having our labor day weekend just a hop skip away in the nearby town of scottsdale.  Staying at a cute little place.  One really great thing about staying somewhere is you can turn the air down as cold as you want and not have the pay a dime for it.  oh its so nice to walk in the apartment at have it be below 70.  Makes the 110 weather outside a little more bearable. :)

How is everyone doing on the no soda?  I haven't caved. I won't cause i know if i do i'll have to say i did then i will kick myself because if it. I'm not wanting any sort of pain right now. 

Speaking of pain....100 Workouts?? anyone actually trying it? or at least tried it once? if you haven't do it!! :) 

oh and i'd like to mention that my inner emo has left me.  I knew it was going to be short lived, it was fun while it lasted.

my final hair transformation is complete. a little look that is called ombre. yeah its pretty awesome, and a lot of fun!

Did i mention how much i love getting my hair done??!?! Because its one of my favorite things. :)

i hope everyone has a wonderful safe labor day!!! Make its the best one yet!!

story time

well folks its September. WOOT!

First off if you'd like to join my No Soda September let me know by checking yes or no in the little poll over here------------>>>>

I must say today is already a crazy one and its only 10am.  My girls have been getting up earlier than usual.  Yesterday, for instance they woke up of 5:30 and did not go back to sleep.  Today they got up around 6:30.

Seriously children, if you want a happy momma during the day you better stay in your little beds until at least 7:30 or 8.  Now that i'm not relying on soda, for my kick into gear in the morning, this is a warning you better sleep or i may just go a-wall.  yes, i just threatened, with my fist of fury in the air too. you betcha i'm that mom.

Besides getting up too darn early, the girls sharing a room is amazing!

Perk one: They go to bed at the same time now. YES!
Perk two: evelyn does not need the tv to fall asleep anymore. YES!
Perk three: they seem to be sleeping better. no waking up in the middle of the night. YES!
Perk four: they fall asleep every night to me reading them stories. YES!

I've always wanted to be a story reading mom, but they haven't wanted me to be, they would just yell and scream when i would start to read a story (evelyn is usually the one doing this).  Its nice to be something that i had only seen done in the movies.

PS. When evelyn saw my hair for the first time she said, " Mom, your hair is brown just like ME!! So pretty! (she pauses for a second and is staring at me) Wait, no mom, your hair is BLACK not like me!!!"

oh children.
