The Love Affair Is OVER!

I have to confess.....

I've been having an affair.

It's true. 

I go weak in the knees....

I lose all self-control....

 And I know I shouldn't but.....I just can't help myself!

It all started when my Canadian stash of
mini-Cadbury bars dried up. It wasn't like

I ate them all the time....just knowing they were

in the secret cooler was enough.

I was okay for awhile....but....I kept hearing 

my name....and it started off real 

quiet like....until one day I was at Target....

And as I walked down the chocolate/candy aisle....

 well a bunch of these were SINGING my name

and of course it was such a pretty song

I couldn't help myself and bought the bag.

Have you had these? Well....you just can't eat one. 

Not when they're THAT mini!!

And speaking of mini....have you ever had these....dried?

 

Yup....there was an abundance of marshmallows awhile back

and I just left the bag open....and voila.....

they were perfect for snacking!

And that's when my life started to take a downward turn.

Well....once you're having an affair with Sugar....

there's just no turning it off. 

You can't walk away.

You think about Sugar all day long.

You find ways of just "running into" Sugar.

Now...I'm NOT going to mention the bakery
at a certain restaurant in Riverwoods. No sir.

Because I "ran into" Sugar in their lemon cupcake.

And I'm sorry I sent TWO home last week with 

a friend of mine....because they are addicting.

At least I think so.

 No picture of these....but imagine

a lemon cupcake...

with lemon frosting...

and crushed lemonheads sprinkled on top.

Ya....no wonder I was addicted, eh?!

Then just ten days ago I was introduced to these little gems.....

Dove's Coconut Creme Milk Chocolate eggs 

(well...HALF eggs...which means...yup...I ALWAYS eat 2)

I kept ignoring the obvious....

the tighter pants...

the "muffin top" that expanded to a "tire tube"...

the "don't-ever-leave-the-house-without-a-jacket" feeling.

And then this morning as I was getting ready for choir I noticed 

some "filling in" that hadn't been there before.

And...well....I'm finally ready.

I'm ready to give up this affair.

But I can't end it without thanking Sugar. 

I really have appreciated the company 

these last few weeks....the late nights at the 

office have been bearable because of you.

I love how you were SOOOOO patient with me.

You'd just sit in that dark drawer of my desk

and wait for the moment I'd pull it open.

You have made me feel warm and fuzzy,

and ALERT....if only for a short time.

But we've gotta break up. I've gotta get my life back. 

The thing is Sugar....I've got this cream dress....

And one of these Sunday mornings 

I'm gonna have to put it on.

And if you're still hanging around

.....well.....

it's gonna be a real ugly moment.
