I was too tired to cook tonight, so we ordered two pizzas and cheesy bread and a bottle of Coke. I am waiting for it to be delivered and suffering buyer’s remorse as we speak. The amount of groceries I could have purchased with the money I am wasting on pizza I suppose is not substantial, but it is not a particularly healthy meal.
I have a weakness for Coca Cola and deny myself this elixir most of the time because I know it is not all that good for me—too much sugar–and I read somewhere that it has some mystery ingredients. But pizza just would not be pizza without a Coke or a beer. And I have no beer here except for some Steam Whistle (my youngest son’s favourite) which I find harsh on my ever so delicate palate.
I was supposed to get groceries today, but by the time I got around to it, a storm that was brewing finally down poured and there was lightning and thunder—okay– so I am making excuses…
In summary: TGIF, or as I read in a nephew’s tweet “Thank Buddha It’s Friday”. In celebration I am going to enjoy my transgressions.
On the Homefront 
I like knowing I’m not the only one that transgresses. Enjoy! 🙂
thank you – I feel better now!
Had a Steam whistle beer the other day…I kinda agree with you, Coke is better!
They are too stringent – not refreshing at all for me.
If I’m gonna’ have a cola – it’s gotta’ be D’Coke!
Could not agree more
You know what? We all deserve a break from extra work when we are tired and guilt. No, they aren’t healthy choices, but it’s not an every day occurrence, it’s a treat. Everything in moderation, right. Don’t beat yourself up about these little treats, just enjoy them.
I will take that advice to heart–thank you Heidi 🙂
You gotta break down sometimes and I love pizza night every once in awhile. Although, I can’t drink Coke or any of those fizzy soft drinks anymore. They taste wayyyy too sweet for me. If Coke can clean a toilet or a car battery, I just can’t drink it. But the pizza — that sounds yummy. 😀
Anymore, I like the idea of Coke more than the Coke itself. I used to have it for breakfast – it was great with bacon and eggs!
Diet Coke for me!
never got used to diet coke unless it has rum and lime in it
Cheers then!
Hi. Friday is just another awesome day for me. Didn’t get to do my grocery shopping either, but I did it today…Saturday. Every so often it is good to give yourself a treat to eat as long as you don’t go overboard.
thank you -that is good advice
I’m a Pepsi girl 😉
Xx
I will drink Pepsi too – I am no cola snob
you deserve a treat from time to time. just because it’s the treat is food doesn’t mean you don’t deserve it. coke, not so much, i’m a san pellegrino grapefruit soda fiend myself. puts out the fire of those nasty hot flashes quite nicely.
anything grapefruit I love – I just think I am past those stupid hot flashes and I’m not
Sounds like me! 🙂
we all have those days and we should enjoy then and not feel too guilty
True that 🙂
