pepsi vs coke

the age old fight. Now most of my friends are coke drinks (the horror) and I am a Pepsi drink (the finer things in life is how my husband thinks of it) so since we were meeting up for a brief visit while I was in Florida we thought we would have an international challenge.

We brought a bottle of Pepsi and coke from Washington state, Canada and Alabama. And with one of us only pouring into glasses we tested each.


Conclusion: side by side we couldn't tell the difference really. We did conclude that coke has more canonization and that Canada coke and Pepsi are way sweeter then the others. We also thought there were probably differences in the taste in cans and fountain drinks as well.

It was great fun for an evening of laughs.

friendship beads

Part of our vacation was my chance to meet in person an internet friend that I met about 10 years ago. we are both rubber stampers and belong to an yahoo group called 2000 stampers after the year we formed it. A few years ago holly moved to florida and opened a bead store and is doing great at it.
Bailey comes to work with her and is always a pleasant fellow to meet. If in the tampa area visit her store ebeads. lots of fun and great supplies and samples

while there she taught us a form of beading that we started with only fibers (a great way to use up our fibers) it is called kimihimo the lesson came in handy when we were waiting at the airport and kept us busy.

Thanks holly for the lesson and yet another addiction to our list of hobbies. I have since finished my sample threads and need to take some pictures of it but will wait till I make a piece of fused glass to hang from it and then adhere the clasp.
