It can't be ALL bad, can it?

I admit it, I'm addicted to sugar. I've been trying to kick the habit. I've been avoiding refined sugar but I last about 5 or 6 days and then it's all over. I decided after the most recent birthday (my 33rd to be exact), that I should probably cut sugar out of my diet. I went 10 whole days and then I fell off the wagon. Well, it was more like I dove off the wagon. You know how in the WWE the wrestlers stand on the ropes and then jump on the other guy with absolute glee? Sometimes they even smash the poor guy with a chair? I was the wrestler gleefully jumping off the ropes with the chair. More likely, I'm the poor guy getting whacked over the head with the chair.So, what lessons have I learned from this last month or so of cutting out the sugar?
1. no more headaches
2. no pms or cramps( I know it sounds weird, but it's true)
3. major crankiness about what I get to eat
4. my students keep tabs on my sugar intake(It's my own fault, I keep track of my days of sugar sobriety on the board. The morning they came in to find a 0 on the board with a frowny face by it, was super disappointing to them, I'm sure. They were like, "Miss D, what happened?" I used the WWE metaphor with them, they totally got it.)
Life's short, I need to figure out how to eat in moderation.
That's all I got tonight. Well, that and I need to cut down on my high school choir concert intake. 2 in less than a week, kind of a record for me. I can only imagine what's going to happen when my Laurels have all of their holiday choir concerts in December. Maybe I'll need to fortify myself with some chocolate....

If I can one more thing, I think I'll throw up

In the interest of building up my food storage I've been a canning machine lately. Thanks in part to my garden(which I had at a friend's house) and generous donations from others, I've canned approximately 50 quarts of tomatoes, 10 quarts of salsa, 10 quarts of pears, 30 quarts of applesauce, and dehydrated a bushel of pears. I do love how my house smells, but so help me! If I have to can one more thing in the next week, I'll toss my cookies(metaphorically speaking). And speaking of things that I do that just seem to bring more work and effort into my life, I'm in the process of applying for the Ph.D program at BYU. I know, I must be a glutton for punishment. But, it kinda feels right to apply for the Ph.D. program. Can you imagine me being Dr. Dyer? Almost makes me shiver in my boots. Can't imagine what it'll do for the rest of you!
By the by, Al came home last night after going to a birthday party with a strange story to tell. She slaved over a german chocolate cake yesterday in honor of this girl's birthday. Someone walked off with the cake last night at the party. Can you believe it? Technically, I could press charges against the alleged thief, since the cake was on my plate. I told Al that she get in touch with the alleged thief and give him two options:
1. He purchases from Parson's Bakery a German Chocolate Cake, in the box, with the sales clerk's initials over the tape, showing it hasn't been tampered with.
OR
2. She presses charges.
Whaddya think? I figure, either way, something good will happen here. : )
