After being with the same person for nearly 20 years, February 14th just doesn't have the same sense of romance that it did when DH gave me a rose on our first Valentine's Day. For the last few years it's been little more than a kiss and a card - I'm okay with that. But even back in those early years Valentine's Day was never really about the candy for either of us.
Remember being a kid and everyone would pass out little Valentine Day cards to everyone in the class regardless if you liked them or not - I mean, you didn't give the really cute card to the kid who gave you the creeps but you at least gave him one, right?
Well, the collection of candy above is just a part of what awaited me today at work. I knew the people in my department were planning something like this, but I just thought that if I didn't decorate a cute little bag, with my name on it than ... well, no candy for me! Silly me. Of course they would include the new girl, they're a collection of really nice people. I only wish I had brought them something too. (Hello guilt)
But that's not all! Oh - no! There was a large pizza sized frosted chocolate chip cookie for the staff as well as several huge boxes filled with frosted cupcakes. And don't even get me started on the OH MY GOD good brownies in our office?
Now because I'm a logical person and my goals are clear to me, obviously I avoided all such temptation, right? Mmm....no. Sorry, I'm still human and chocolate is one of my favorite things. Did I mention the brownies?
Tomorrow - will be another day. Another chance to make better choices about what I eat/how I live.
