santa brought me a soda stream!

One reason I have had a problem with drinking too much soda is bubbles. I love a beverage with bubbles.

Soda is bad for me and keeps me fat. Seltzer tastes good but 67 cents a bottle and all that plastic is not good for my budget or the environment. The Soda Stream is a great solution. But I'm cheap. And would never spend the money on it. But I'd buy a new font in a heartbeat.

Therefore, for the last four years, maybe, I've looked at, but not bought, Soda Streams. I even had a sample of the icky soda. A couple of years ago a friend received one for Christmas. Her daughter loves bubbles in beverages too. She makes flavored water beverage with a little fruit juice and water.

After the tree fell down and we put it back up, a large box appeared. A large, heavy box, and it was for me. What in the world did I want in a large, heavy box? The Soda Stream never crossed my mind.

The "my water" packs don't have sugar or any evil chemicals in, so I'll keep those. If anybody has one of these machines and wants all the samples of soda, I will be happy to give them to you.  Or maybe I can freecycle them. Ultimately I might have to buy another storage bottle.

Apparently Sharon and Dawn have been looking for the best price for weeks. She works at Bon Ton and they don't carry them. Ultimately they bought it at Sam's Club. When I went online to the url for this post, I found her a $25 rebate. She's happy now too.

Between the Soda Stream and a new Kindle I felt 8 this morning. A Kindle Fire, none the less. I wasn't going to buy a new one. I've killed two already. (I've been told I cannot put the Kindle in my purse.)

Now I need to go out for a walk.
