October 20th

On October 20th one year ago I posted this blog about my goal to abstain from chocolate for a year.  I proudly withstood all chocolate temptations until Christmas when I ate a few slices of a chocolate orange as a gift to Burke so he didn't have to hear my whining anymore. :)  I then resisted that delectable morsel up until we left for Paris in May, at which time I decided there was no way I was going to be living in Europe without allowing myself to sample their incredible versions of chocolatie delight.  I justified it by thinking of this time as a two month sabbatical that I would tag on at the end of my year and go all the way until Christmas again.  However, once I got home I just couldn't find the will-power to resist anymore.  I have been eating chocolate shamelessly for the past 3 months since our return.  Just thought I should confess on my original due date.  So sue me.  Maybe I'll try again as a New Years Resolution.  Maybe.
