Chocolate Bear

December 17, 2007

Today marks the end of my three-month candy fast. There wasn't any real reason behind this, I just wanted to try it out. And technically, it lasted 5 months because I accidentally ate one little M&M and I had to start all over. Anyway, today was also the last day I would be volunteering at KidsAbility before the Christmas break. So, they presented me with a little Christmas gift. Last year, the cookie gift sent me into a Christmas-cookie search that lasted almost a year. This year, I doubt I'll be having the same problem. It's a little hard to see in the picture, but they gave me a little teddy bear cookie that they baked themselves. I was assured that they washed their hands many times before they made the cookies but it probably still won't find it's way into my stomach. I generally don't have problems eating Teddy Grams(yum!) or even gummy bears, but when the bear is that big, it's almost like a real teddy bear. I just can't bring myself to bite a head off this thing.
