There just isn't a title for this post. My Nick who used to never ever drink soda now occasionally drinks soda when I tempt him. It all started when we were on the airplane to California for our honeymoon. He asked the flight attendant for a Coke, I swear my eyes fell out of my head and the attendant asked if she could put them in my carry on. His reasoning is that airplanes make him sick and the Coke would help. I, being the nice wife, let it slide. How come I can drink gallons of soda in any way shape or form and he can't? Because, Nick doesn't sit in the same bracket us people that can't control ourselves do. Nick is in his own bracket titled the 'I can restrain myself from ingesting anything if I want bracket.' I know I have mentioned before about him being vegetarian because he wanted, not eating any of my sweets because he wanted and NOT DRINKING ANY SODA BECAUSE HE WANTED. Are you all jealous? I know I am. After much reflection I realized that these things could be the reason why over the three years we have been married his medical expenses have been sitting at a constant zero dollars. Well I decided that I was going to stop drinking soda because it was becoming a need, not just a want. I got to the point where every time I drove past del taco I just had to stop for a cherry coke because they have the best cherry coke. So there, I am just going to stop drinking soda cold turkey because I say so. It works for Nick so I will make sure it works for me. Oh and you know what else, this makes me feel better... yesterday Nick ate peanut butter chocolate kiss cookies so he does crack on occasion. This is how it all went down...

Scene: We just walked into my parents house

Me: I halt to a dead stop like I just slammed into a cinder block wall... "Oh.my.gosh. I smell peanut butter, in that kitchen there is peanut butter cookies." My head hangs low.

Nick: "What? No, I don't smell anything."

Me: "Yes Nick I swear to you there is peanut butter something in there. Either peanut butter no bakes or just peanut butter cookies."

The debate continues until we walk in and see that I am indeed correct.

Shanna: "Have a cookie Nick."

Nick: "No Thank you."

I was so so impressed because I know that Nick loves peanut butter cookies.

5 minutes later...

Nick: "Ok, I will eat just one for Amanda."

10 minutes later he has consumed more cookies than just one. If anyone ever wants to get past Nick, make him peanut butter cookies.
