A broken woman...

Well, I knew my decision to give up chocolate for Lent was going to be tough when, on my way to church on Ash Wednesday, I wanted to get out of my car and rip the Snickers bar out of the guy's hand in the car next to me...And that was only Day #1! 5 days later, I find myself sitting on my living room couch, still not warmed up from the cold weather outside, deciding to indulge in a nice cup of hot chocolate to warm me. After mixing in just the right amount of milk and sprinkling marshmallows on top, I sit back on the couch to take my first sip...DEEEEE-LICIOUS! But wait! DOH! The realization that I am drinking chocolate hits me and my guilt takes over, forcing me to pour the remainder of my heavenly treat down the drain... :( How many days until Easter?

(I did exercise great restraint earlier this evening when opening my Valentine's Day package from my Dad - A box of assorted white, dark, and milk chocolate Lindt truffles - Why, oh why does Ash Wednesday have to fall early this year????)
