JellyBean Lust

Today was dollar tree Friday. I needed a few things and of course my son wanted a few things. It was Easter in the store. I couldn't help myself and before I knew it my feet headed to the jelly bean aisle. My mouth started watering and then right in the middle of my eyes lighting up at the sight of chocolate bunnies, jelly beans and peeps I got a hot flash. I fanned myself with one hand and moved closer to the candy. I think I was more excited too see Easter candy then my son. But then again any holiday that involved candy was always my favorite as a kid. So it was not a surprise that 50 years later I would  still love candy. 
I anxiously filled my hand cart with all the varieties of candy I could afford and smiled to myself proud of my small bounty of treats. In another corner of the store were Easter baskets. I had to get one. They were going fast. A couple grabs of fake grass for the baskets and another hot flash later I was heading down the toy aisles with my son. He was in search of a yo-yo and found that and another ball on a string. 

I decided to sort of put together a basket. Mostly for decoration since between my son and I that candy was not going to make it until Easter. I got some sparkle fake eggs for the basket and then the jelly beans. OK, some of the jelly beans. OK, a few of the jelly beans. My intention was to only eat no more then ten. Right. I was kidding myself. A half bag later with like 10 in the basket I told my son I needed a time out. He laughed. I couldn't help it. The poor basket didn't get as many jelly beans as my tummy. But, I did eventually stop and put the bags down. 

My, my, my it was hard but my thighs will thank me later.
