Reeses Peanut Butter Cups
I just read Lyle's blog about the self indulgence study which promotes engaging in self indulgence to live a happier life while not promoting "catastrophic" indulgence such as drunk driving and having an affair. As always, my first thought is "what about me?" I don't drink (I don't like the taste) and no affairs with married men have ever been remotely offered me. What would a "catastophic" indulgence look like to me. And then I remembered the package of reeses peanut butter cups that I bought yesterday. Why, why, why would I buy them when I know that they are my siren, my downfall, my "catastophic" indulgence. I'm already failing miserably at keeping up my good habits for weight lose. Ultimately it will be fine--the bag is almost empty now and I know I'm not ever going to buy them again.

OMG! While I was working the Football game last week someone asked if we had Resse's. Since then I have been craving them. I finally broke down and bought a package at the store the other day and they sat in the kitchen for 2 days before I broke down and ate them yesterday. They tasted so badly, I don't know if it was a bad package or just because I have not had any candy type items in so long (yes Sean, no PBMMs for almost 6 months!) that I just don't have the taste for it anymore. Maybe I should go buy another package and try it, I really shouldn't give up on them so easily. Or not.

I too am a sucker for Reeses, just as much so as the PB M&Ms. But, since the M&Ms come with more in the packages, I get them usually! I think if you looked in my dorm room trash can you would find 6 or 7 wrappers in there from the past two weeks...AHHHH!!!! I'm addicted! Although, before I came back to school, I probably hadn't had any for four months. Hmm...

Alright, no offers from "married men", is that the extent of possible affairs? Also, Adrienne's problem is now solved but she too must look further for a catastraphe.
