In less then nine hours from now, I’ll be enjoying the amazing taste of Texas comfort or as it is more formally known as… Dr. Pepper.

As most of you know, I gave up Dr. Pepper for Lent. Thank goodness lent ends as of 12:01am Saturday because I was pretty close to going on a shooting rampage. That may be overstating it a bit but you get my drift.

I’m very excited about this, especially since I will finally be able to relax a little bit instead of trying to find alternate methods of doing so. I’m not the only one excited to enjoy the crisp taste of an ice cold Dr. Pepper. My friends, family and co-workers are just as, if not more excited for me to finally end this crazy crusade. Apparently I’m a lot easier to handle when I have my life source running through my blood stream and soothing my nerves.

All I have to say is that in theory, lent is a good idea but when you only have one vice, it’s not a good idea to give that one vice up. No sir. I’ll be back in action tomorrow and fully caffeinated! I must also thank someone who was the only person who stayed strong with me in my Lent observing endeavor.

Todd! Thank you for being just as addicted to Dr. Pepper as I am and staying strong with me through Lent. I may have shanghaied you into this but thank you for being such a good sport about it.
