that in about 25 minutes i will be eating my first cookie(specificly) after 29 excruciatingly long days.
i will admit, i screwed up about halfway through, but i was on vacation and everyone was doing it. ha. i had a bite of the scrumptious chocolate cake from p.f. changs...and then had a little more. it was so worth it!
i made it alot longer than i thought i would.
kind of sad. but i love my sweets!
i will be much happier now and more pleasant to be around:)

note to self
no matter how many times i’ve done this it still doesn’t stick in my brain.
starting a load of laundry at 10pm is never a good idea.
it always feels right and necessary..
but is it?
nah.

Got $1,000? Why Not Try a Golden Opulence Sundae?
i was desperately watching Sandra Lee this morning on the Food Network channel, as she was indulging on the most beautiful thing i've ever seen!
that's right..the Golden Opulence Sundae!
I know. It sounds crazy: $1,000 for an ice cream sundae? But, the sundae is The Grand Opulence Sundae from famed Serendipity of New York City and it's made up of the best of the best. According to the restaurant, they sell approximately one a month, so apparently, quite a few people have some money to indulge in such opulence.
The Golden Opulence Sundae, the "World's most expensive sundae", was created to celebrate Serendipity's 50th Anniversay last year. (If you are paying attention, the 50th anniversary is the "golden" anniversary. Get it?)
Made with "5 scoops of the richest Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream infused with Madagascar vanilla and covered in 23K edible gold leaf, the sundae is drizzled with the world's most expensive chocolate, Amedei Porceleana, and covered with chunks of rare Chuao chocolate, which is from cocoa beans harvested by the Caribbean Sea on Venezuela's coast. The masterpiece is suffused with exotic candied fruits from Paris, gold dragets, truffles and Marzipan Cherries. It is topped with a tiny glass bowl of Grand Passion Caviar, an exclusive dessert caviar, made of salt-free American Golden caviar, known for its sparkling golden color. It's sweetened and infused with fresh passion fruit, orange and Armagnac. The sundae is served in a baccarat Harcourt crystal goblet with an 18K gold spoon to partake in the indulgence served with a petite mother of pearl spoon and topped with a gilded sugar flower by Ron Ben-Israel."
Wow. Now that's spectacular. Worth $1,000? Well, I'd like to find out, if only I can get out of paying our mortgage this month...
february needs to end soon!

so grateful.
It’s in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone.

february challenge
Tory stats: 
too many SWEETS!
sugar is in everything..literally. ex: bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, salad dressings, cereals, yogurt, baked beans, instant oatmeal, canned tomato soup, ketchup..
i was very surprised at some of the healthier options when i was researching which foods contain more sugar and found this study: http://www.ivillage.com/which-food-has-more-sugar/4-b-299573#299575
so this challenge consists of me cutting all things chocolatey, ice cream, cakes, little candies, any desserts for the month of february
eating sweets is my happy place..something i do when i'm bored, something i crave
things have gotten a little out of hand, so now it's time to test the waters and see what i'm made of
