After receiving a basket of easter candy AFTER eating easter dinner AND easter dessert I faced with a conundrum...Do I continue eating this candy AFTER easter even though I vowed not to? Or do I throw away a perfectly good easter basket filled with my favorite candy (see Previous Cadbury Creme Eggs Post). While for many people this conundrum may be non-existent because they can simply have their husband finish it off for them, as they rarely seem to feel guilt for such indulgences. Luke however, is allergic to chocolate, and any candy gifts of this nature always fall on me. Most of the time I don't mind, but I've been eating nonstop junk for a while, and I think I need to take a little better care of myself...
Back to the conundrum...I could always give the chocolate away, but then I would still have some left over and, therefore, I would still be tempted. I could eat one piece a day....but I know myself well enough to know I don't have the self-control OR restraint to do that :). So I am left with one option: Throw it out. Suck it up, tell yourself you don't want it anyways.
I was feeling bad about this particular situation UNTIL the said chocolate did me wrong. Oh how it did me wrong. I get up to do the horrific deed, solemnly putting all my (chocolate) eggs in one basket...all unaware they were on their way to their grave. I turn aroung and one had tried to escape, ended up UNDER my butt, melted...all...over...the...WHITE couch and my new jeans.
So I threw those suckers out. No remorse. How dare they try and sabatoge me. That little guy was brave, but he was stupid. And while the couch covers are washable, my pride is not! Let this be a lesson to all you rogue chocolate eggs out there....don't be a martyr for your friends will pay the ultimate price.
