My house has been invaded!!!! I just picked up DD from a church lock-in where they were just about snowed -in. The four inches we got here in middle TN is VERY unusual, very pretty (sorry you Northerners who are sick of it), and the roads were VERY treacherous with people who don't know how to drive.
I finised shoveling off the back walk and the deck, and came in to have the traditional hot cocoa that I always savored from my Northern days. I took the remainder of the morning coffee my DH is so good at making (very strong) and put two teaspoons of cocoa powder in it, two tsp Splenda, and a generous helping of cream. MMMMMM.........just the thing for frozen hands to wrap around its low-carb goodness!
Suddenly, it seemed out of nowhere, my senses were mercilessly attacked by a box of Krispy Kremes sitting on the table, smelling absolutely WONDERFUL and just SCREAMING to be dunked into that nice cup of mocha I was enjoying!!! My daughter had them sent home with her from the lock-in by people who did not realize their evil power over me!! The smell and the vibes they were putting out were excruciatingly pressing down on my fragile little Willpower, which was already weakened by a migraine from last night.
Those Krispy Kremes in their diabolical little psyches just KNEW that they could stop the headache, and so did my Willpower. Just in the nick of time, (victorious music, please), my Support Team rushed in to remind me that it will lose a much bigger battle if my Willpower gave in on this one. Yes, my Combined Knowledge (of being reminded to read DANDR) and my Accountability (that I made a commitment to post here), rallied together and beat down those Krispy Kremes!!!
Now if only I can resist the ten remaining (DD ate two) until DH comes home from work and scarfs them down. Y'all send out some good vibes today for little ol' Willpower. She hasn't been very strong since before Christmas and I'm trying to prop her up thru the tough times. The coffee helped, headache is down to manageable size but still big enough for an excuse to binge. Oh, and they arrived with a Papa John's pizza, which I took out of the box and put in the fridge for DH and DD. Two of my favorite carbages!
There, I did it. Now I'm gonna have to post here if I made it through the day or NOT.
