I have been making a very conscious effort to watch what I am eating. Unless it is Friday, and then I don't pay much attention. Fridays tend to last as long as 72 hours on some weekends.
Earlier this week, while at the mall with Marik...we went into See's Candies. I pretended to look around like I was going to buy some candy-just long enough until they gave Marik and I the customary gratis piece of candy. This time we both received pieces that were actually something I would buy!! And then we 'decided' that there wasn't anything we wanted to buy, and left. My dishonesty is getting the best of me.
Today I was wandering around Target. The longer I spent wandering the faster I forgot what I was actually there for. So sorry Tuggle, but you really do seem to enjoy those Honey Nut Cheerios, right?
Anyways, the first item I put in my cart was a theater-size (something tells me movie theaters dont really appreciate candy companies calling their boxes theater size) box of Good & Plenty. Since I eat what I wish on Fridays, they became breakfast. It was 11:30, and you can imagine I was shoveling them into my face at a rapid pace. I have a wrist malfunction and before I know it the remaining contents are sprawled all over. clean up on aisle 8, greeting cards.
This apparently bothers me so much that I emphatically yell "CRAP!" I look down the aisle and see two boys of speaking age looking at me. I can see from their mother's face that the word Crap is on the no-no list in their family. And quite honestly, ours too. I apologized to her, and told her boys that I am going to get a spanking and a time out when I get home. For some reason my apologies and groveling didn't seem enough for the mom. I hate that. When you make a mistake and immediately try to make it right, and even go overboard doing so, some people just can't let it go.
Im not finished with candy for the day. Im going to see a movie tonite and I am pretty sure I'll have some sort of run-in of the sugary kind. I'll keep you posted.
