Easter has come and gone.  It's been one big chocolate-fest around here.  But not as big as it was a few years ago, when I made the mistake of giving up candy for Lent.

I'm a fan of candy, especially chocolate--especially Milky Ways.  So giving up candy was tough on me, and on the members of my family, since they have to live with me.

On that particular Easter morning, I woke up to find that the Easter Bunny had very kindly provided me with a big bag of Whoppers eggs.  I like Whoppers almost as much as I like Milky Ways.  And I hadn't had any candy for forty days.

I made myself a big cup of coffee and dug right in.  I had half a bag of Whoppers eggs for breakfast that morning.  Let me tell you, I was flying high.  So high, in fact, that I agreed to let my daughter invite her two cousins for a two-night sleepover, followed by my driving fifty miles so that they could all sleep at the cousins' house for one more night.  The next day, I cleaned the master bedroom from top to bottom, walls, ceiling, floor and all.

Needless to say, I have learned my lesson.  It's much better when my Blood Chocolate Level is stable.  I'm done giving up chocolate for Lent.

But the Easter Bunny still brings me plenty of Whoppers eggs.  After all, this is the only time of you you can get them!
