March 5

When I'm over in Dublin running errands (which most accurately translates to "going to Target and/or JoAnn"), I sometimes stop at Wendy's to get a soda. I always go inside and dispense my own drink because they have a Freestyle machine and I love, love, love Diet Orange Vanilla Coke (or its Zero equivalent). And the machine --which allows you to mix various types of soda with various extra flavors-- has historically been the only way to get it.

So imagine my surprise when I noticed this beauty in the soda fridge at Grocery Outlet this morning. I'm not sure if it's "new" like the label says or if it's just a limited edition product, but I was thrilled to see it. And of course I bought one and sipped at it on and off throughout the afternoon.

A small thing for sure, but an unexpected blessing for me.
