Sad, sad update...

So my mission for this weekend was to find my favorite drink, Diet Berries and Cream Dr. Pepper in some shape or form. I didn't care if it was a 2 Liter bottle, a 12 pack or a single small bottle of it. I just needed to find it because it has been too long since I've been able to enjoy the best soda in the world. I went to the following places:

2 Publix locations
2 Walgreens
2 Winn Dixie Supermarkets
1 7 Eleven
2 Wal Marts
1 CVS drugstore

Unfortunately, I did not find a single drop of this soda. I did, however, find Dr. Pepper's latest flavor: Cherry Chocolate Dr. Pepper which up until now I had only heard about. I decided to buy a 12 pack of it because I figured it would be good. Fortunately, before I opened the 12 pack I purchased a small bottle of it so I could try it immediately. Sadly, it was pretty gross. It was so bad that I returned the 12 pack the next day. Thank god that flavor is only Limited Edition because it's quite disgusting.

In the meantime I am still frantically searching for any inventory of this soda that may be left out there so if you've seen it, please e-mail me. Life just isn't the same without it. :(

Mission Impossible?

If you know me you are aware of my love for Diet Dr. Pepper products. I'm a big diet soda freak and my favorite was Diet Dr. Pepper until the release of Diet Berries and Cream Dr. Pepper. It's the greatest soda ever invented (imo) and I usually stock up on it. My addiction is so bad that at work people know I'm there if they see a can of it in the break room. Lately, however, I have been unable to find it anywhere. I wasn't too concerned at first because it had a tendency to sell out but I'd usually find it a couple of days later. It has now been over a month since I've had the pleasure of drinking that delicious drink and I am beginning to worry. My sister who lives in Ohio said that she hasn't seen it in a long time either and brought up the possibility of the dreaded "D" word - discontinued. Is it possible? Could my favorite soda in the whole world have been discontinued? Will Diet Berries and Cream Dr. Pepper become merely a memory? Will I have to add it to my list of favorite things that have been discontinued? (stay tuned for that list)

Well, I am off for the next couple of days so I have decided that my mission this weekend is to find this soda. The last time I went to Walgreens the other day there was still a sign on the cooler with the Berries and Cream label so there's still hope. I refuse to give up. I will go to every Target, Walmart, Publix, and any other place that might have it until I find it. I shall report my findings in a couple of days. Wish me luck!

What do I want for Christmas?

I keep forgetting that it's almost Christmas. Perhaps because it's always hotter than hell (OK well maybe not hell) in Florida. I have yet to buy one gift or send out one card. I most likely won't do cards again this year, so if you're my friend and you're reading this, don't be offended that I didn't send you a card. I'm just a little bit out of it this year. If only I could find the two boxes of Christmas cards I bought at Target 2 years ago to prevent this from happening. Someday I'll find them. Probably when I'm packing to move away from here.

Anyway, I can't think of what I would want for Christmas this year. I think I have most of the material things I want for now. Cold weather would be nice. Ok that sounds good. I want a cold front (a real cold front, none of this upper 60 degrees crap that people seem to think is cold) to come through and drop the temperature down to 50 degrees or less so I can wear my Kenneth Cole leather jacket! :) If not, a one-way ticket to NYC. ;)

Blah...

I haven't updated my blog in so long that I feel obligated to do so. I've had several topics in mind since my last posting but I've just been either unmotivated or too busy with work. I don't even think anyone reads this but someone must since my counter keeps going up, even if it is gradual.

Anyway, the most interesting thing that's happened is me making the decision that I don't want to live in Florida much longer. Although I've learned to accept some things, I realize now that I don't want to be here for good. At my age one should figure these things out because this is the time when most people settle in the place of their choice. I feel like I'm lagging behind in this aspect of my life, but whatever, you can't change past mistakes.

There are other changes about to take place in my life that I do not wish to discuss at this time, but stay tuned, fellow readers (whoever you may be)!

INTERPOL RULES!!!

So last night was the night I'd been waiting for, the Interpol concert! Needless to say I had an awesome time! The band was great and they played all my favorite songs. Carlos D and Paul Banks looked hot! ;) Here's a video of my favorite song, "C'mere"!

1 Year later...

Today is my one year anniversary from when I first moved to Miami. I can't believe it's been one year already. Although it's taken a while for me to adjust to a new place I can honestly say that it's finally starting to feel like home. I realized this the other night when I was returning from my road trip to NY/NJ and we drove past the Target in Aventura. I don't think I'd ever been so happy to see that shopping center. At this point I knew I was home and I was glad to be back!

That's one good thing about road trips, they give you the opportunity to see new places and appreciate what you have.

The disadvantages of losing weight

So as I've mentioned before I've taken up running since moving to South Florida. The main goal was to get in better shape and of course to lose a few pounds. Fortunately it's been working. I have no idea how many pounds I've dropped but I know I've lost weight because all my pants are too big for me now. I was a size 6 when I first moved here and am now a size 4. As great as that is that means that I now have nothing to wear. Yesterday I decided I'd attempt to go jean shopping at Loehmanns. They usually have cool designer jeans for pretty cheap so I was sure Id find something but I was wrong. I looked through all the jeans they had and there was not one pair in my size. Apparently everyone else is also a size 4. I guess I'll have to keep rotating the 3 pairs of jeans that do fit me. Maybe I'll find some cool jeans in NYC. Century 21, here I come!
