    Default I was VICTORIUS! LOL

    I went grocery shopping after work last night at Wal-mart.
    I had my printed out list with only the essentials of what I need
    and that is all that was in my cart in the checkout line.

    There was a young couple in front of me and the wife left and
    came back holding a cake that was making me drool, and making
    me really hungry! Since their cart was full, she held it (as if
    saying, "Look what I got!"...LOL....

    It was a frozen ice cream banana split cake. It was beautiful!
    It showed a sliced piece on the label, and it had chocolate,
    vanilla and strawberry ice cream in it. It was covered in
    drizzled chocolate and had cherries on top.

    I wanted to run across the store and put one in my cart too!

    However, I kept my feet planted firmly where they were.

    I was VICTORIUS! LOL

    (Well, maybe not completely as I am obviously stil thnking about it this afternoon )

    Good for you. If you aren't on a diet, why don't you bake a yummy cake from scratch to reward yourself for good behavior LOL.
