Brownies

It was 10 pm and I thought I was fine. Didn't eat too much today; rare for a Sunday. Felt pretty good and then it crept in... the chocolate hankering. It's the grocery store checker's fault. I bought 2 brownie mixes the other day at Dan's since they're on sale for 88 cents... just to stock up you know. Always have to have at least one brownie mix in the cupboard. Well as she slid them through at checkout she looked at them all sentimental-like. She looked at me and said, "Oh I just remember how when my sister was pregnant she went through a pan of these a day." I looked at her like she was lying. "She really did," she said. I smiled all the way home thinking, 'Well good then if I eat like five brownies I don't need to feel bad.'

Since Croz was still awake I stuck him in the swing and like a maniac whipped together a pan of brownies. My plan: a brownie sundae. I think I ate about 2 1/2 brownies in the sundae with vanilla ice cream and choco syrup on top. This is starting to sound like a food journal. It was so worth it!



Go buy your 88-cent brownies at Dan's. And then use the willpower I didn't to keep them in the cupboard and not turn the oven on until Fall.
