My sweet tooth and I are very good friends, and for a long time it has encouraged me to give it free rein in the mornings... preferably with some pie or cinnamon rolls, but, in a pinch, by munching on Trix, Reese's Puffs, or Cap'n Crunch. Mike and I bonded over Blueberry Muffin Top cereal, and I've always stayed as far away from Raisin Bran and Rice Crispies as I could.
Lately, however, I've undergone a transformation. While I still would NEVER turn down pie for breakfast (ok, so maybe I would if it was mocha or blueberry or a very mushy pumpkin without whipping cream), Reese's Puffs aren't so tempting anymore. Instead, Mike and I load up on cereals with words like "almond", "grain", "oat", "morning" and *shudder* "fiber". The worst part isn't even that we've been duped into buying them... it's that we're so deluded that we actually think they taste good. I've taken to eating cereal just in the morning, but also again after I get home from school. The dishwasher is full of bowls and spoons, proof of our new habits.
Clearly, we have a problem... and I think I've decided the perfect solution. We'll stage an intervention this weekend in front of the TV - enough subjection to advertisements for sugar bombs and cocoa kernels and we might regain our sanity.
P.S. It has occurred to me that my face in the last picture looks far more MySpace than Chaplin, and definitely does NOT make me look ridiculously happy. I must have been thinking about that parade :)

Ew, cereal. I'm afraid I'm still at the Cap'n Crunch stage. ;)
Sugar bombs? Ha ha ha ha ha! Oh, the memories! It's really amazing what age and stress will do to your eating habits. I have noticed it here at school lately. Instead of wanting donut holes I will head more towards the fruit rack at the Café. This new eating habit is better for your teeth . . . . That being said, I love you and I want to talk to you about your new computer and stuff. Call me, text me, skype me or any of the above in combination. :)
