sure about that?

Anyone who knows me well, knows I drink coffee...lots and lots of coffee. Now normally, I like it iced, and like it better when someone else (preferably someone at Dunkin Donuts) prepares it for me. Monday and Wednesday mornings, as much as I would like to swing through a drive-thru, it just isn't an option, so...I make my coffee at home (and yes it is Dunkin Donuts coffee, hazelnut), pour it over ice, add milk and Splenda, and I am off. Week before last, I was running low on Splenda, so last time I went to the grocery store, I bought some...only they didn't have the regular, apparently there had been a run on it or something, so I bought the kind with fiber in it.

When mom was here at Thanksgiving, she had the fiber stuff with her and every morning made a cup of tea and added it. I asked her at the time if it tasted nasty or made her tea thick and goopy and she said no. So, knowing that fiber is good for me and also knowing that I don't get enough because I prefer foods that are horrible for me, I thought "What the hell? I might as well give it a try." Well as I made that first cup this past Wednesday and added that fiber laden sweetener I remembered a conversation I had with Smash while mom was here.

me: so ya know how you can get fiber and add it to your drinks and stuff, well now they have a Splenda/fiber combo...mom has it, she puts it in her tea every morning, I was thinking about getting some and adding to my coffee in the mornings.

Smash: really...yeah, I dunno if that is a good idea, are you sure about that?

me: yeah, mom says it doesn't taste bad or anything

Smash: not that, I mean, fiber...coffee...I would shit myself before I got out of the driveway...seriously...

me: hmmm, well my driveway isn't as long as yours...

But it was too late...I had already put it in, I didn't have any more coffee made, and if I didn't leave right then I wouldn't make it to work on time. Well, I said, to hell with it, and with every sip I swear all I could think was: I just got my car back, all fixed and clean, and I really don't want to have to tell the Pea we are going to have to switch cars AGAIN.

Happy to report I did NOT shit myself, I don't have to get a new car, and I have a WHOLE box of Splenda with fiber if anyone wants it.
