One Teeny Tiny Problem

Dutch cruller, rich and sweet, Belgium chocolates, nothing like them. Scottish kale, made into tasty broth. New England crab, pride of the Atlantic, Cuba’s sweet and sour daiquiri. America’s tastiest eggnog, made instantly sour by the sight of one small dead titter mouse. One teeny tiny mistake, but I may never drink eggnog again.

Ooh, that would sour the eggnog. Oh well, there's still plenty of great beverages out there...have some hot chocolate with a dash of cinnamon.

I am running toward my chocolate closet right now, as that sounds amazingly wonderful.

Now that you mention it- I know exactly what you mean... (I tried hypnotherapy once years ago).

I am a licensed hypnotherapist. To convince people to lose weight, we lead them through a meditation where they have to think of the foulest most horrible items they would ever find in their food and encourage them to picture dirty diapers, etc. in their favorite foods that they cannot say no to.

Thank you Mike. When it turned on me, I said "YUCK!" but my muse has her own determined assertive sense of humor, and I have learned she cannot be swayed.
