We had a breakfast potluck at work today. I remembered this on the way in to work and I was suddenly rambunctious because:
1. My belly was yelling at me, demanding food. And what my belly wants, my belly gets.
2. A breakfast potluck meant FOOD and more FOOD would be waiting for me to eat it when I got there.
As I stepped in the office, my illusion of stacks of pancakes and french toasts with the perfect amount of syrup dripping off it with sides of perfectly cooked bacon was quickly shattered. I was greeted with a box of Krispee Kreme Donuts, cinnamon and sugar bagels, chocolate muffins and some sort of variety of dry cereal with melted marsh mellow goo covering it. Not what I was expecting, but grateful, nonetheless. I was sure I was staring at some sort of sugar apocalypse. Just by observing the items in front me, I think I felt me getting four cavities. So I dove in.
In all my twenty-two years, this day will always be remembered as the day I ate mass amounts of sugar in less than twenty minutes. After playing the one player game of 'how much sugar can you eat before ten AM' I was soaring pretty high for a solid twenty minutes... that was soon interrupted by a very heavy and unpleasant sugar crash. I went from a three year old child with ADD on crack to basically a vegetable.
And now here I lay, on my bed, surrounded and buried by the Starburst wrappers from last night. Some people might say I have a problem with sugar, but I say, I just know how to have fun.
