Sugar-free coffee...yuck

Oh where to begin. I guess the best place is last Thursday. I was going to a friend's house for dinner and decided to make dessert (Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie). It came out fantastic, but used every last drop of sugar in my house. Friday morning rolls around and Bugga has no preschool because Spring Break has already begun. I make a nice, hot pot of coffee and realize that I have no sugar. A lot of people I know tell me that you can't tell the difference between sugar and Splenda, so I try it in my coffee. LIES! It was horrible. I preferred black coffee. That night, we got a babysitter and went to see Perpetual Groove with some friends of ours. That was fun. We don't get out without the kids often, so we appreciate it when it happens. On Saturday morning, my hubby decided to run out and get bagels and coffee. I told him to get sugar for our coffee. Luckily, he did. That night, we decided to drive up to see one of my hubby's friend's band play. This time we took the kids. Bugga was dancing like crazy and Jammer slept on my shoulder the entire time. Luckily, it was one of those restaurants where they give you endless peanuts and you can throw the shells on the floor. Bugga loves her some peanuts. Sunday, we never left the house and used the extra sugar packets that my hubby had grabbed on Saturday morning. Monday morning rolls around and I still have no sugar, so I drank my coffee black. I went out shopping with Niki, but didn't get any sugar. So, here I am on Tuesday morning putting vanilla ice cream in my coffee. (Have I mentioned that I'm also cat-sitting for a friend and I could easily swipe some sugar from her house since I've been there every day that I haven't had sugar!?!) I have finished the left side of Jammer's ballet sweater. The pattern is not thorough. So if it comes together like it should, I will no longer consider myself a 'new knitter'. Oh - and a picture of my hubby's sock that has not been getting the attention it deserves.
