Those around me know that I’ve been cutting back on my Diet Coke intake. I eliminated my afternoon Diet Coke. The one I bought at the magazine stand outside my office. Well today, with all of its breaking news-iness, I decided I deserved an afternoon Diet Coke. And so I bought one.

Me to the magazine stand man: Can I please have a can of Diet Coke?
The magazine stand man to me: Long time no see, Missy!

I laughed.
