DAY FOUR

Whipped through today, painless as could be. Again, who knew focusing on these 12 steps would make things so easy? MLKJr day is within my grasp. Now to figure out how I will get through from the day we get back, to February break! HA!

Today was a doughnut day, and it wasn't even Friday! One of my (fabulous!) students had a birthday, and brought in doughnut holes instead of the usual cupcakes. What a treat! Then I came home and lit my new Yankee Candle, coincidently called "Jelly Doughnut!" And I mean, really, is there anything better in life than a jelly doughnut? Crispy on the outside, but covered with sweet crystals of sugar. Then, a doughy center, with and oooey gooey surprise? Yummmm! Oh, wait, a jelly doughnut with no calories? Yeah, that is better! And strangely enough, burning this candle works like that. I have done this before, while trying to control my eating a bit. If I burn a "foodie" candle, it seems to curb my appetite. I will overindulge in a scent, as opposed to a taste I suppose. Whatever it is, I am thankful that it works! Consider it my New Year's tip to all of you - hey - it's worth a shot!
