Day 258

Day 258: So another "obsession" of mine used to be Sprite. I think that it briefly replaced the blood in my veins during high school. I loved it! And what I loved even more than drinking it was collecting Sprite cans and bottles from around the world. I had them from all over the place: Germany (watch those escalators), France, Greece, China, Barbados, Italy, Norway, Japan, Kenya, Australia, Dubai and more. I had a HUGE collection. Some were bottles, some cans, and all of them were different. Some I drank the Sprite out of, some I left the Sprite in. When I lived with V in BA I had them all out on display, but when I moved to OS there wasn't room. So, they went into a tote and went out to the shed. Alack and alas, I didn't factor in freezing temperatures when I decided to store them outdoors. You can't imagine my dismay upon discovering the following spring how the cans that still housed the beverage exploded everywhere and ruined much of the collection. Many of my prized cans went out to be recycled. I was heartbroken. That was over two years ago now. Tonight my big brother gave me a can he brought home from Russia from his trip last year. I was so touched by the thought and intrigued by the can that...dare I say it? I start over? I'm not sure. It's a little silly, but it sure made me Happy. Thanks Dabe. #Sprite #365happydays
