I have decided I am going to blog for seven days straight for no reason at all.
Day one-it is a snowy Tuesday and I sit at my desk. Just finished my lunch of chicken noodle soup. No, it was not Campbells, some off-brand I found at Big Lots for only $0.55. FIFTY FIVE CENTS for lunch?! Yes, I spent $0.55 on my lunch this afternoon and my tummy surely feels it. Or should I say, not feel it? Soup is good on a cold, snowy day, when you are sitting at home watching old movies and popcorn, chips, gummy bears and ice cream are at your disposal. But when you sit at work for 9 hours straight and all you eat is a bowl of soup and a bowl of oatmeal until you work out for an hour just to go home to open the refidgerator door to find nothing but the mocking scent of moldy cheese and left overs you didn't want to eat the first time around anyway, you slump a little deeper and slowly trudge off to bed only to have the same vicious cycle of minimal food consumption start all over again.
Well, I suppose I am exaggerating a bit. The past week I have eaten so much my black work pants are a bit snug. But I think I bought them that way. It's been so long now I can't remember. I am addicted to gummy bears and oriental snack mix. But, not just any gummy bears and oriental snack mix. They have to be from Ashery's in Amish Country. http://www.visitamishcountry.com/shopping.php
I don't know what it is about those Amish, taking simple ingredients and making them into yummy goodness that you become addicted too. Of course I have to eat them in moderation, only for the fact that I can only receive my package once a week, and sometimes it lengthens to once every other week-or even once a month. Not knowing when I will get my next fix, I horde my packages, hissing at anyone who may come too close. I leave half eaten packages on the table late at night, tempting someone to touch them in hopes that they fall into my trap and will have to purchase new packages for me to indulge in. I think it might be my lack of sugar intake on a regular basis coupled with the fact I divulge into a 3 pound bag of gummy bears just to follow it up with a pound of oriental mix in one sitting. It's no wonder I act like a jealous goose, protecting her egg from possible arsenal. Hmmm...I truly wish I brought my gummy bears with me today.

HIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Well it's obvious that the amish oriental snack mix is a clever cover by the devil to make all us "sinners" all fat with their deliciousness. Do you think the amish actually eat the creations they sell us or are they made with the intention to be sold to us heathens.
I suppose they are made only to sell to the "heathens" though they do such a good job, I'm sure once they hit rumspringa they indulge like the rest of us. But they will eventually hold back knowing full well what it is the Devil Oriental Mix stands for...
