does anyone have a quarter? Anyone? I swear there was one in the bottom of my bag. Somewhere. Dammit, I need a quarter...
I saw one on the floor across the break room and a sudden frisson overcame me. I clicked that quarter into the candy dispenser, down tumbled nine chocolate-covered ovals, like a multi-colored avalanche of sugary goodness. After seven days without sugar, eating a handful of peanut M&M's felt triumphant. It was truly gratifying. Detox is arduous, but I survived
update 12/24/10: I've got to re-up the sugar detox staring Sunday. I realized this upon baking marionberry shortbread today. Funny thing is, I think the only reason I bake is to eat the batter. Anything for sugar, right?! There needs to be a 12-step program for this addiction. In fact, I went as far as to google if one exists, only to discover that, while in office, President Ronald Regan always had to have a bowl of jelly beans on his desk. I'll try not to, but chances are I'll end up like Regan...or like Chief Johnson on The Closer who has an entire desk drawer devoted to sweets. oh bother. I'll let you know how it goes, again.
update 12/25/10: I mean next Sunday. I'll start on the 1st. I worked retail the day after Xmas and it was too much for me to handle. so, I came home and had fudge for dinner. Rocky road fudge, to be exact. The next day, my family had asked who had eaten all the fudge...I blamed the dog.
