I once confessed here on this very blog, to my reading public, that I was a procrastinating perfectionist addicted to M&Ms... well time for an update... or really a confession, I am still putting off plenty of tasks (because I want to wait until I can give them my "best" effort) and this morning I had Diet Coke and M&Ms for breakfast.
I can, and will, produce a list of genuine reasons (read: excuses) why I made my culinary decision today:
1) I just got back from vacation and haven't had a chance to stop by the grocery store to purchase delicious and healthy oatmeal.
2) I forgot to grab my yogurt from the fridge... and who wants to eat granola without yogurt?!
3) The M&Ms are from New York and I was using them as a reminder of my grand adventures this past weekend.
4) I'm allergic to everything BUT M&Ms and Diet Coke...
Okay so maybe this last one is a lie, but sometimes the only thing I want in life is some genuine colored sugar wrapped nicely around some dark chocolate goodness and a can of liquid fake sugar pumped up with massive amounts of caffeine... Is that so wrong?
I think not!
But I, like Amy Winehouse, have some issues. Sure my addictions include aspartame, caffeine, NPR, loud jewelry and fuchsia leggings and she is a fan of the more lightweight stuff like cocaine, bulimia and cutting.
Amy Winehouse has issues... and she also has a song called "Rehab" (YouTube video here)
"They tried to make me go to rehab. I said "No. No. No."

I'd like to think of book club as rehab for readers annonymous.
I will gladly join the aspartame and caffeine support group but I'm not sure I will ever voluntarily join rehab. No. No. No. My daddy says I'm fine.
My daddy says you're fine too. We were blessed with some enabling and supportive daddies. :-)
i ate a LOT of M&Ms today and I thought of you.
