So I am the stereotypical woman when it comes to chocolate: I adore it! However, there is a point at which too much can be a bad thing. I have reached that point: I have had chocolate every day for weeks now. Not healthy. So I decided yesterday that I wasn’t going to have any chocolate all day. Maria kind of killed that goal when she offered me the rest of her chocolate chip cookie. I couldn’t very well refuse it, could I? I told Sam this and he said that I couldn’t go one day without eating chocolate. I said I could. So we made a bet that if I went all day today without chocolate, he owed me a dollar. If I couldn’t, though, I owed him a dollar. (He also upped the bet to include sweets of all kind-I agreed because I thought I didn’t eat other sweets-that turned out to be wrong!). Stupidly, I forgot to stipulate that there would be no tempting allowed before we shook on it. The temptation began at approximately 10:15 this morning. I was in his room and unfortunately for me, there was documentary on Hershey’s chocolate on the History Channel. Wow can I say coincidence? Why, on this day, would this be on TV? And how did he find it! However, it did not break me down. Then on the way to dinner, things got worse…There was an ice cream social outside the cafeteria. Ice cream: a weakness nearly on the same par as chocolate.  I just thought, the entire world is conspiring against me today! At dinner, Sam conspicuously placed a bottle of chocolate syrup on the table, in addition to trying to put a piece of cake on my tray. Then, as if that wasn’t bad enough, Kaileigh, Aaron, and Brittany all decided to join in on the torment. They started talking about how good chocolate is and how much they were going to enjoy the ice cream after dinner. Sam even went so far as to grab some oatmeal raisin cookies, pour some chocolate on them, and push them in front of me. After dinner, the real torment began. Everyone around me had a bowl of ice cream and was waving it under my nose. Sam decided to drag his ice cream soaked spoon down my leg. But that’s not as bad as him trying to force feed me M&Ms that he bought for solely that purpose. He spent $3.00 on candy for a $1.00 bet that I will win!  It’s about 9:00 now and despite the many temptations, I am still going strong.
