I've Taken the Pepsi Challenge!!!!

As most of you know, I only drink Pepsi when I have a headache or I'm thirsty!  (Thank you Jennifer for saying that when you were only 3 or 4...it's almost as good as Carly's "Pretty soon you'll be smokin' a coffee!" or something like that!)
Anyway, I didn't read the December Ensign until the family left after Christmas.  Then I picked it up and read the article on caffene and energy drinks while sipping a Pepsi, I'm almost certain.  Oh my, the picture of the spider web made by a spider on caffene undid me.  So, as a result, on the 30th of December there have been no Pepsis down my gullet!  Ohhhhhh My!  There have been headaches in my crainium, however!  Along with headaches there have been nights of no sleep along with brain-busting headaches...I don't yike 'em!  
So, as of today, it has been 19 days! I cannot honestly say that I don't want a Pepsi, that I don't dream of Pepsi, that a tall glass of ice floating in a Pepsi is out of my mind,  or that water is as wonderful as a Pepsi...yet;I'm almost there...but not quite!  I don't want to fall off the wagon as I don't want to experience any of the above once again.  I think in the 19 days I've had maybe 4 sodas but not Pepsi, not caffinated ones, but the cranberry splash  that Christy introduced me to and a Squirt but they don't taste like Pepsi so they may be off of my list too.  I wonder...do they have a Pepsi Annonymous? Ah well!
