I will not gorge myself on chocolate...

You know what really sucks?  Break-ups require chocolate.  Not just "I could totally go for a candy bar right now."  Oh no.  Nothing so harmless as that.  It's more like, "If I don't get chocolate within the next twelve seconds, I'm going to literally bite someone--HEYTHATGUYLOOKSLIKEHEHASCHOCOLATE!!!!"  Or, y'know, something along those lines.

 

I would like it to be known that, as of today, the death count is still at zero.  But it's only been twelve days so far. . . .

Anyway, that's not the suckish part. The truly awful coincidence is that Easter has just passed, and so there are piles of chocolate just laying around my house.  They beckon me.  They want to be eaten.  They know my name, and where I sleep.

So much for trying to stay healthy post-breakup.  At least I made sure it was dark chocolate.  That stuff's good for you, right?

Okay, so maybe the way to go is not to not eat chocolate.  I mean, come on; a girl can only be strong for so (not) long.  What if I give myself an allowance of three pieces a day.  And only if I've gone to the gym.  And with this plan, I shall conquer the world.  (Yes, of course chocolate is the world.  What did you expect it to be, a supercomputer financed by mice?)  If only I could suddenly develop some kind of willpower when it comes to this delectable temptation. If only.

Oh!  I almost forgot.  In a previous post, I mentioned staying up to sew.  That seems to have surprised someone.  In addition to blogging, I have started sewing again.  Nothing big or fancy yet (my last attempt at quilting was a disaster, trust me), just pillows for now.  I have two books of different ways to reconstruct old T-shirts; I plan to work my way through (at least most of) both of them.  So far I've done three basic pillows, a four-paneled skirt, and I'm working on a doggie bed (they call it a pet bed; I plan on using it for Asian-style seating.)  I'll start taking pics after I finish this project.  Which means I might post them withing the month.  Or at least, sometime before August.

If anyone has suggestions or instructions, I'd love to hear them!  Also, if you want to donate T-shirts--in good condition--that'd be swell.  Or just look at the pretty photos and comment your envy.  Whatever you like.

And now I'm not going to go get more chocolate.
