I’ve got to bust out GTG on this one. She has made it apparent on her blog and this blog that she is trying quit soda cold turkey. This is part of her scheme into beating in our “Who can lose 10lbs first bet?” It’s all in good fun, and we both agree that losing a few lbs wouldn’t hurt us.
Well, that’s not the half of it. You people, (huge grammar error 
) don’t get the emails or the phone calls.
Here is an excerpt from the email titled “i would kill right now…”
i want a pepsi. just a sip. i seriously feel like a crack addict right
now. i had to leave the office today during lunch and eat in my room
because one of the other teachers was drinking a coke.
I replied:
You know, you can do a gradual withdraw. Don’t kill anyone.
She assures me:
gradual doesn’t work for me. i just gotta stop, or i’ll draw it
out….never quit.
i’ve got an easy day today, so i’m pretty sure no one will die.
So if you see the GTG on the street be warned.
Update: This is going to cost me a lot of popcorn.
haha. yes, it is. you’re lucky i’m eating chocolate right now. i’m feeling pretty forgiving
GTG- I’m not sure replacing soda with chocolate is the quickest way to lost 10 lbs, but more power to ya sister.
I am a diet coke addict, btw. I couldn’t have 1 for 24 hours this past weekend, and I couldn’t sleep that night. Had to take tylenol with codine just to catch some zzzzz’s. More proof that my life is extremely sad.
i’ve been doing an allright job of avoiding the chocolate. once i get off this soda thing, i can more easily phase chocolate out, as well.
i just happened to have a piece in my mouth when i read the blog.
addendum to this: i’m feeling much better today. not crabby at all…just dragging a little, but i’m blaming that on the late night and early morning.
So, I thought it’d be a good idea to stay at the curve last night until 3:00 AM.
Everyone, please remind me that I am no longer a spring chicken and cannot roll with people the way I used to be able to.
Oooh, Nattie. I went to bed at 12. I readily admit to not being a spring chicken who can roll like that anymore.
Do you need some water? Steak n Shake? A pillow?
i went to bed at 11:15, and i’m complaining about being up late. good luck getting through your day, nattie.
i’ve got alkaseltzer if you need it.
The only reason my head hurts is cuz Merf through some ice at me and knocked me straight in the head.
Problem 2 with being at the Curve til 3:00?
I was the only sober one!
Sober + 3am @ the Curve = wtf?
why was merf throwing ice at your head, nattie?
The guys (people I know, and some I do not) were trying to throw ice down my shirt. Merf thought it would be funny to throw a whole bunch of ice at 1 time. After he jacked me in the head, he hit another guy in the lip, and made him bleed. Good times, good times.
Shoo, it was Gaffney’s birthday so I was in it to win it, but nothing I drank was sittin well on my tummy. So I switched to diet…
Haven’t heard from K in a while…
Is he doing OK?
that just sounds really painful, nattie.
and, no, haven’t heard from k. i was thinking about that earlier.
I’m hoping Merf was really drunk for the ice incident. I’m guessing so. Maybe K had stuff to do on his break today? I don’t know?! I was surprised to not see anything from him, either.
Kyle, come out and play!
Merf was intoxicated. I will give him that.
K, if you read this, I love you man…
So I am leaving my first ever blog comment…write this one down on the calender! Correction Nattie…I too was sober last night. Must tell you that I feel much better today than I thought I would, especially since I did not get to sleep until after 4 because Merf called me about an e-mail after leaving the boys’ place. It has helped that while subbing today, I am watching the last half of Stand and Deliver 5 times…that is right I said 5. Nattie, you forgot to mention our fun in the parking lot…I love drunk people.
monica, ugh. i hate that. i have the same class 3 periods in a row, and i get so sick of teaching the same thing three hours in a row.
So if you can sleep sitting up, you’re set, Monica?
That sounds really bad when you’re tired.
Yah, some drunk chick tried to start shiz-nitt with me Mon and Mandy, but we couldn’t even understand her, so that didn’t go too far…
But Mon, it got worse after you left cuz Merf tried to take the drunken twosome home, her friends came outside, got all pissed, Merf was trying to smooth things over. Oh my goodness was that a great time.
Ugh.
Awww, I feel the love. Sorry I wasn’t at the computer for more than like 5 minutes today. I was doing work related things and then reading Harry Potter. Book 5 is like CRACK for me. I cannot seem to put it down for long. Thanks for worrying about me!
SWEET! IT WORKS!
