I can relate.
I just fought a huge chocolate craving. And I won. Not because I had great will power, but because there's none in my house! How could I have let this happen?! No tootsie rolls, no Yorks in the freezer, no hot chocolate (yes, I know it's May, but it's a rainy day) no chocolate chips, not even any cookies 'n' cream left! AHH! I want chocolate! And I WANT IT NOW! GIMME GIMME GIMME!!!
But alas, there was nothing to be done about it. I don't even have a car today. A friend was going to come over and I seriously considered asking her to pick up a candy bar or something. No, I thought, better to get a bag of something that will last longer.... Then I realized the ridiculousness of my request and that I could never ask anyone to pick up chocolate at the store for me. (Except my husband. Maybe I should call him...)
After about 15 minutes, my brain realized that it wasn't getting any chocolate and got over it. But then I started thinking about all the other things I want NOW.
I want to read The Host by Stephenie Meyer NOW. I'm currently #37 on the library's waiting list. Maybe I'll get it by July.
I want to watch American Idol NOW. My husband's plans changed and now he'll be home tonight. Which is great. But he's not a big AI fan, so if I could just watch it NOW, when I'm bored out of mind (hence the blogging) it would save Levi, and therefore myself, a headache tonight.
I want Isaac to get past this phase where he builds stuff with the couch cushions! I haven't tried too hard to stop it, since it means he's using his imagination, but I like being able to sit on my couch whenever I want without destroying his dog house, like NOW.
I want a minivan. I know, I know, I'm so old! But it'd be nice for times when we want to go places with the dogs. The Accent's a bit small for 2 adults, 2 carseats, and 2 big dogs. And it means that I have one less boundary to cross before child #3. And I could get in it and go get some chocolate NOW.
I want a big gold egg like Veruca wanted. Wouldn't that be awesome? I bet I could get my minivan with that!!
And I still want chocolate. I thought I was over it. I don't know what I'm going to do. Maybe I'll dress up the kids in costumes to take them trick-or-treating and steal any chocolate they may get. It's Utah. People do weird stuff like that here all the time and get away with it. Arr, matey! Gimme thy CHOCOLATE!!

You crack me up Alyssa!
Will you have your car tomorrow? You should come to the bookstore or library with me and Brinn...do you know her yet? You need to meet her. We could even go get dessert while we're out. Yummmm, dessert, chocolate. Dangling carrot. Call me.
Alyssa, you're so funny! I totally understand the chocolate thing!!! I love the way you write and your creative thinking! Hopefully you had your husband stop and pick you up some on the way home :)
Mmmmm....Now I have to have some chocolate, too! Look out...it's contagious!!!!!
well hello miss veruca! i understand about the chocolate- aaron and i are really into score bars and heath bars these days- chocolate mixed with buttery toffee!! ya- the music is from the movie- and you should see it- but, like me, you may want to hide during the 'shaving' sessions...
you are hillarious! we miss having you around!
I would give you some chocolate if i lived by you. I thought you lived in Kansas? But....apparently u live in Utah :) I hope u get some chocolate soon :)
Hey!!
Thanks for you're comments! I love your blog, you are such a great story teller.. :)
I totally relate to the chocolate impulses. Mmm... my mouth is watering just thinking about the deliciousness of it all.
You can be jealous of me if you want to. I have a minivan, and the Steph Meyer book, plus a costco sized bag of freezer burned chocolate chips that I might break into before lunch. I guess next time I count my blessings, I have a few new list items, eh?
