mouthwatering

I am not one to usually shout out to the world that my birthday is coming up...
But,
MY BIRTHDAY IS TOMORROW!

The significance of that event is that I will get to eat sweets.
I have not had any sweets since January 2nd.
I even spit out the frosting that I accidentally licked off the candle from Eve's birthday cake.
You may ask why I would do that and I will tell you. I decided to challenge myself and I stuck to my guns. I did once make glazed carrots and licked the spoon after making the glaze. That is the closest I came to "cheating."


My young women bought me some mini melt away mints. They are staying nice and cool in my freezer right now. I might just have a few for breakfast tomorrow.

Then, I am definitely taking a trip to GODIVA.

And I will get one of these. It may not look that great in this picture, but let me tell you....
it is HEAVENLY!! It is a CHOCOLIXIR. Which is a blended chocolate drink with raspberry flavoring. mmmmmm. The biggest decision I have to make is whether to get white chocolate or milk chocolate. It is so hard to decide.

I will also have some ice cream cake with my family.
And then I may just pass out from a sugar overload.

I am so excited. The first few days of my going without sweets was hard, but these last few days have been even harder. Just knowing that I was only a few short days away made me want to cave in. Like right now. Just thinking about it makes me crazy.
I cannot wait...
but I will wait
until tomorrow

You are hard core AMAZING. I'm excited FOR you, although from my personal experience, you'll probably end up eating two bites and then feel sick.
SO BECCA!! I'm so sorry to find you are injured! I'm kind of confused about what's going on, but it sounds awful. I'm so sorry! Hope you start feeling better everyday, and I hope you have a wonderful birthday, sweet friend.

Yay that is so exciting! I've tried to do that many a times but now that I've seen that you have done it maybe I'll try it again, but in smaller steps, like a month and then progress on to something bigger.

When I was talking to you on the phone I forgot about the sweets thing. Even more reason to celebrate your big day!! I hope you have an awesome day with tons of delicious sweets! I love you Bec!

WOW!! You have truly been strong with the sweets, you are such a strong woman :) I hope you enjoy every second of your treats tomorrow, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you!!
Also, I hope you are feeling better, being injured can't be easy with a busy little one! Get better quick!!
