Dr Pepper hold out

I just wanted to let you all know that it has been a week and a half, and i'm still going strong! No Dr. Pepper! I have so many opportunities to get it and it's everywhere around me! So i'm really proud of myself. :) I need the new Change Anything book that is coming out from my company in April. Wish i had a copy now. That would really help me secure my change, so that i don't go back into it. I don't want to be a slave to dr pepper! i know it sounds really dramatic, but if you think about it, it's not so awesome. Going through the day thinking you need anything that's an addiction is bad. Time to break free.  Check the ticker at the bottom of the page for updates on how long it's been.

It is kinda fun to break a habit and brag about it. So, try it! and for tips, order the Change Anything book from VitalSmarts. And no, i'm not doing a promo for them or getting paid for this or anything. I really am just excited for this book and to read it.

Also, i still don't have a name for my car. Think of one, and post your comment. thanks!

The Story of The 3 Beautiful Girls and The Young Attractive Cop. :)

Once upon a time there were 3 beautiful girls. These girls were having a splendid time spending their evening together. After watching A Knights Tale, these girls decided that they were long overdue for a Slurpee. So the 3 beautiful girls decided that they would drive in Girl #1's cute Suzuki to get Slurpee's from Springville's 7 Eleven. The drive over was enjoyable. The girls chatted and even Sir Thomas (the GPS) enjoyed the ride. When arriving upon 7 Eleven, the 3 beautiful girls jumped out of the unnamed Suzuki, and headed inside. Checking out was quite adventurous... but not really... There was a super creepy guy standing next to the register. He looked stoned and was looking to buy a massive drink and a pack of cigarettes. To the girls, it looked as though he might not have had enough money. So girl #1, being extremely cautious, barely opened her wallet, not letting the scary dude (who was staring her down) see into her wallet. Girls #2 and #3 were also cautious. They quickly went to the car and locked the doors. After turning on Sir Thomas, the girls were on their way. (note: they knew how to get home, but Sir Thomas was fun to play with). Driving home was equally as fun as driving to 7 Eleven, but slightly more so because they now had Slurpees! Along the drive home from 7 Eleven, the girls passed a cop who was being sneaky chilling on the side of the road. Girl #1 then realized that she had no idea what the speed limit was. Sometimes Sir Thomas lets her know, but this time Sir Thomas didn't know, either. Looking in her rear view mirror, she realized the cop had pulled out and was beginning to catch up to her. Girl #1 at this point (since she was driving) was freaking out a little. Then the cop car turned on his lights and the girls were busted. Girl #1 was shaking all over as the cop came up to Girl #2's window. (he couldn't come up to Girl #1's window, because they were on a highway). Then the lovely Springville cop asked for her license, registration, and proof of insurance. Girl #1 responded with "why did i get pulled over? was i speeding?" To which the cop responded, "i'll explain that later." After searching for about 30 seconds for the registration, amid all the random licensing papers in the jockey box, it was found.  During which the cop explained that none of the lights on the back of the car were working. Girl #1 sat dumbfounded. Suzuki (the car with no current name) was just inspected 2 weeks earlier. how can this be? When she finally threw her brain back into place, she looked at her dashboard to find that the young attractive cop was right. They weren't broken, she had just forgotten to turn them on. She then turned to the cop and said "oops! Now they're on!" a little confused, the cop continued to question why they now worked as opposed to before. Girl #1 responded "Yes, well... there are day lights. They are as bright as my night lights. They are always on. I forgot to turn my regular lights on. They should all be on and working now!" To which she then smiled. :) (girl #1 has a very pretty smile, so the cop couldn't get mad at the stupidity) The cop then took her registration and started walking away as Girl #1 shouted, "would you like my insurance? it's right here in this big packet!" The young and slightly attractive cop then responded, "no, it's okay." (It can be assumed that since it took way too long to find the registration, that he didn't care to go through a million papers to find the cards, as well.) The cop then walked back to his car to do some research to see if she was a good girl. To which he found that she was. He wasn't gone long before he came back and knocked on Girl #3's window. That's right... Girl #3. Girl #1 was still shaking at this point and rolled down that window rather than her own. The young attractive cop then got embarrassed and apologized for knocking on the wrong window. The right window was then rolled down and he handed the registration back to Girl #1. In a panic (because for some reason, she was STILL shaking) she chucked it at Girl #2, who was in the passenger seat. (Girl #2 was very nice, she put everything back.) The young attractive cop left with his few last words: "drive safe! and don't forget to turn your lights on!" To which the embarrassed beautiful Girl #1 responded, "okay, thanks! i'll put a note up or something..." and then smiled as he walked away. The 3 beautiful girls were then back on the road. They finished off their enjoyable night with some good laughs about the young attractive cop, and by watching Phineus and Ferb. Which we all know is the best show in the whole entire world. And they all lived happily ever after!

NOTE TO READERS: Sources cannot confirm nor deny whether this story is really historical. Or whether it happened on March 18th, or not. They also cannot confirm that the 3 beautiful girls were named: Melanie, Suzy and Denise. ...(in that order). It is a pretty good story, nevertheless.

Have a wonderful day! REMEMBER: turn your lights on when you drive at night. Also, if you happen to get pulled over by a young attractive cop: smile, and act stupid. It actually works. :D

Dr. Pepper Free!!

Hello Blogger World! I'm sitting here, eating lunch, and i thought it would be a good time to get on here and blog a little. (yes, i'm eating lunch at 3. i kinda forgot about that part of the day.) So last night i was putting together a CD for my bestest friend, who is currently on a mission. Her companion had talked on the tape she had sent us, so we thought we'd talk to her companion as well. it was pretty fun. well anyway, transfers are THIS weekend! bad, right?! i know, i procrastinate. well there were some sections we recorded on the stupid Audacity program that i had accidentally saved as data, rather than sound. There HAD to be an easier way to- what do you call it...??- change the file type? but for some reason, it split the whole sound up into sections of 12 seconds a piece. So we had to go into each one and export them as WAV files, and then put it all into movie maker or something, and compress them all. it took FOREVER! like i said- i'm sure there was a WAY easier way to do this. We unfortunately did not know of any easier way. So my brother and i were both up until 3 getting this CD done. Now if it doesn't get to Illinois in time, i'mma be kinda sad. Anyway, it was kinda funny. One stupid mistake that i didn't take 10 seconds to make sure i did right in the first place, led me to hours of conflict. WAIT- that reminds me of a principle! :) haha! jk, i won't go into that. To all of you who are wondering, yes, i did go out and buy a digital recorder today, so that i do not have to mess with Audacity anymore. :) I'm super stoked about this!

i don't have much to say today...i could brag about some random things, but i'm not super in the mood to do that. I hope your day is fabulous!

OOH! actually, guess what. i'm gonna start a goal. I'm going to put it on my blog, so that i can remember it always. (not that i remember that i even have a blog some days) but hopefully you friends can help. No more Dr. Pepper. Once i start, i don't stop. And i want to stop!! So i haven't had one since last week, but i'm going to make it official today. Maybe i can find like- a count up thing that helps or something...  .......The searching is done! Okay, so i found a baby age counting thing. but it works just the same way! Check there! It says Dr. Pepper Free is ______ old. hahahaha! it works. ALRIGHT! i'm excited!! Don't let me relapse! ;)
