Been a bit, no?

So, it is now March 2010. I am still estranged from the sweet, chocolately goodness of all things good.

I have learned a few things:

1. Sugar is not necessary for hot chocolate. All you need is a blender.
2. Soured yougurt (keifer) is still good to drink or eat.
3. Almonds are incredibly sweet.
4. Grapes are much, much too sweet.
5. Bread can, if not careful, 'replace' sugar.
6. I am cranky when I am hungry.

I can afford a few things, too:

1. I go to the beautician every week.
2. I am repaying student loans. Thanks, IBR!!
3. I am paying a car note.
4. I am paying twice as much for my gym membership.

So, Sugar's exit is bittersweet. I miss it, but I don't miss the hold it has had on me for so many years; my waist doesn't miss the inches.

That said, secretly, pathetically, pitifully, I still miss sugar, very much. More than that, I am tempted, everyday, every gotdamned day, to end our estrangement. So far, I am unfailingly faithful to 2010.

Over and out.
