Like many of you already know, I gave up my ‘life source’ of Dr. Pepper for Lent this year.

Now most people when they give up their vice for more then a couple of days, tent to be a little on the testy side. Not unlike these people my patience and ability to sugar coat things waved good bye several weeks ago. Now having officially observed at least 30 days of the 40 that Lent entails, I’ve been a little on edge as of late. It’s sad when I know that all I need is to pound 20oz Dr. Pepper and my inner ‘Mr. Hyde’ is set at bay.

I have two friends that also happen to be my co-workers. They have been trying to get me to cave and just partake of the sweet nectar of life. Although I know that temptation was inevitable in the process of Lent, I had no idea these two particular individuals were going to be borderline mean about it… I’d say their names but they know who they are… *sneeze*Boyd*Cough*Brandon!

Sometime around Tuesday one of these two thought it would be great fun to come back from lunch with a gigantic Dr. Pepper and inform me that I needed to drink up, and that I’d be a nicer person if I did… this may be completely accurate but when I only had 10 more days left, there was no way I was going to cave. After proclaiming this, they decided to pour a little bit in a cup so as to tempt me and set it right next to me in my teller station. I finally gave the cup to one of them, while still sticking to my guns. With their constant taunting, I’ve never been prouder of myself

I’m pretty sure that the next and final week of Lent is going to be the most hard, mostly because these two individuals aren’t letting up on getting me to cheat…. I’ve got news for you guys… Give up men! IT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! I’ll be my happy charming self by the end of next week, with or without your support!
