Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
source Lord, I hope so. I've made a few changes starting last week. Nothing huge but they're huge to me because it's different than what I've been doing for, well, ever. I grew up on artificial sweeteners. The pink stuff to be exact. Mom always had it around and honestly I didn't really start using it too much until we started on our first go round of weight loss back in 1998. I grew up on a crap ton of sugar. I was addicted to my aunt's sweet tea which, if I remember correctly, was this pitcher: source a scoop of Nestea instant tea and a cup of sugar.

I know we had the sweet tea in the house too and my mama was a sweet tea addict until she left this Earth, but I think at some point she switched over to the pink stuff.

Talk about not knowing how to respond. Pretty much swore off drinking after that one.
ReplyDeleteI can distinctly remember mixing bleach and ammonia together to clean the basement floor thinking that would get the tile 'really' clean. Well, after almost asphyxiating I realized my faux pas. Really needed to pay more attention in chemistry class that year.... lol
