As many of you out there in blogland, I am trying to loose weight, save money, be a better mom, wife, friend, daughter, etc.  As many of you out there, I am trying to be more friugal with purchases, and with my time, etc.  But sometimes, in the midst of all the frugalness, you get burnt out and you must treat yourself.  Or at least I do! LOL

Today's frugal luxury was a bottle of Mountain Dew, regular not diet.  Nice and cold, sitting on the top shelf of my refrigerator, this lonely bottle of Mountain Dew has been sitting here for over a week (hubby brought it home for me one night.) and has been calling my name gently and seductively for more than a few days now.  I have been trying to watch what I am eating and cutting portion sizes and drinking lots of water and tea, and haven't had caffeine or sugary pop for a long time and today.....I couldn't handle it any longer.  LOL

I grabbed the beautiful green bottle from the refrigerator and took a big drink and afterwards heard myself like a Pepsi commercial say AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!  Glorious Mt Dew.  I wanted to crawl in the bottle I tell you! LOL  I tried to make it last, but ended up drinking most of it with lunch today and still sucking on the bottle while writing you now. 

Some of you may giggle, but I know Marcia with her Dr Pepper obsession will understand completely.  She had to drive to town today even thought the weather is supposed to turn badly today for milk and Dr. Pepper.  Her kids are home from school today for some reason  and with the fear all 8 will be home tomorrow because of bad weather as well....she was in depserate need of a Dr Pepper fix.  Who wants to be left at home with 8 kids and no Dr Pepper she told me! LOL 

So.......what is one of your frugal luxuries ladies?? One of those things you treat yourself too that doesn't take much money, but gives you beyond pleasure for the time being.  Each day mine is probably different.  But for today........its my caffeinated friend! LOL

God's Blessings,
