Sisterhood of the traveling dress goes wild and considers giving up her diet soda...sigh
*** Update Below***

Okay, so, I had totally forgotten about Julia wearing my dress. After seeing all the references to "Pretty Woman"... I did a little research.

Apparently, the dress is some sort of phenomenon. In a list of the all time most memorable dresses from movies, this one ranks forth.

I wonder if this is the very dress that caused Edward to finally fall in love with Vivianne.

Of course her coloring lends itself to the brown and white polka dot version... and then of course there was that hat that really only Julia could have pulled off with such certainty.

Never the less... for now... I'm keeping the dress.

Someone suggested I wear it at She Speaks. That would be so nice. If do, I won't be able to breathe. Therefore causing me to pass out, fall off the stage, and create a slight spectacle. Which of course would make for some totally great blog posts for all the world to enjoy.

Maybe one day I'll find my pre-baby body again and surprise my hubby by wearing the dress again.

Or, maybe I should pass it around to all my bloggy friends. You could wear the dress, blog about all the wonderful and hilarious things that happen to you while doing so and then pass it to the next bloggy sister who wants to give it a whirl.

I'll keep thinking about it.

Now, since you gals are so amazing when I ask for your advice ... I've got another question for you.
This is a treat I enjoy immensely. Yes ma'am, I look forward to my Diet Pepsi. And I'm not a Diet Pepsi snob either. I'll enjoy a Diet Coke just the same.

Either way, I've brushed aside all the warnings about all the bad chemicals contained within these delicious, cold, fizzy drinks. Did I mention that I really like this treat?

But the other day Holly and I were running and I was telling her how sluggish I felt. This is unusual for me. She suggested I cut back on Sodas.

Yikes.

Now, I'm feeling like maybe I should.

I know water would be so much better for me. But water has no fizz, no yummy little bite as it's going down, no good soda taste.

Sigh... Your thoughts? I'm sure you've got them. People seem to be quite opinionated about this subject. So, one way or the other... bring it on.
