The Return


After a 5 month sabbatical, I have decided to make a comeback in the blogging scene. It could of been Julie Powell who inspired me, or the band deciding to create a blog, or something else. But nevertheless, here I am.


Today's post will raise an extremely controversial, polarizing question. But let me first construct the framework from whence this question comes.


You're a young man or woman. You aren't married, you don't have any children, you may or may not still live at home with your parents. You have a car and a job. Easter day comes! And the loving and doting woman who gave birth to you presents you with an Easter basket filled with goodies! How awesome is that!


The next day comes. You go to work (or school) and since the holiday is over, life goes back to normal. With one change: at home there is a basket piled high with candy. So for the next couple of weeks, any chocolate or sugar cravings you have will be satiated by this woven wonder.


On the way home that day, however, you stop at the supermarket. And right smack-dab in front of you is a display case utterly teeming with Easter candy, all 75 - 85% off regular price! You have some spending money, you love chocolate, and there are amazing deals that you will not get for another 365 days sitting right in front of you.


So the question is: WHAT DO YOU DO? Do you walk away without getting any because remember, you have a full basket of candy at home. You won't be deprived. Plus buying even more candy screams "PIG!" But then again, the candy you already have will run out in a couple of weeks and at then you'll be wishing you bought some more. And in two weeks, these deals will be gone. I mean, you certainly can freeze it for later. Dilemma!


I bought another bunny.
