So long, old friend

I admit it. I'm a southern girl and have always loved drinking sweet tea, especially the kind my mom used to make where there was a trail of sugar flowing down the glass after the tea is finished. Yum!

Once I graduated and moved out on my own, I stopped drinking tea for the most part. I was too lazy to make it at home, and the tea served in restaurants was in ice and didn't taste right because the sugar floated right to the bottom of the glass.

Now the fast foot restaurants and other restaurants have started serving sweet tea. I was in heaven and ordered it every chance I got.

Now my waistline and wallet are starting to show oppostite effects (growing waistline and shrinking wallet) because of my tea habit.

So, for now, I have to say goodbye to my old friend, sweet tea. I will miss you so! However, there is a new kid in town, called Splenda. I think we are going to be good friends!
