My Way
I had an entry all planned out in my head. A clever parody of Sinatra's My Way, with links to the fruits of my NaBloPoMo labor. Then I had a look at my month of posts and decided ce n'est pas possible. I wrote a whole bunch of rambling bull pucky over the last month, and boy am I proud.
That is what blogging is all about.
Aside from the blatent lack of quality writing in my November archives, I've been distracted. Big time distracted.
I don't know who all follows me over at Big Slice, but I've been eating a rather spartan and lackluster diet for the last week. I want to lose five more pounds before my husband's employee Holiday Dinner.
Doo dee doo dee doo... I've been clipping along, eating well and not feeling deprived. And then I heard crinkling. My daughter had ripped open a small bag of chocolate chips and extracted a few, leaving the bag in the pantry.
It was like someone was chumming the water. I was fine with the unopened bag of chips in the pantry. But now, with them open, I keep darting in for a few quick nibbles. There's an electricity in the air here in the kitchen. I can smell them from a mile away, and I'm fixin' to have myself a frenzy.
I'm putting them outside in the garage, for my husband to snack on. I can't have them in here, or I'll eat them.
Not that eating chocolate is a bad idea. But seriously. I'm ready to frenzy all over that action.
Okay, this brings NaBloPoMo to a rambling, screwy-louie end. 30 days of mediocrity, served lukewarm!
Everyone, go over and buy a shirt or twelve from the lovely and inspiring M. Kennedy.

I sympathise. Can of Pringles (paprika flavour - yum!) for the children unopened? No problem. Opened? Can't leave them alone. Put them away in the garage? 14 trips to the garage later - all gone. I have started chewing sugar-free gum when I am alone and unsupervised in the kitchen. You can't nibble and chew gum at the same time and the mintiness (is that a word?) makes other stuff taste weird!
