Hello, people. Bek here, and not with a story of thrilling escapes,
this time she has a lesson for you.
The lesson: how not to use self control.
You see before you a pretty gold Christmas basket which my Mother bought for me for my Christmas theme table. It goes beautifully with the table, but... what was I to put in it? I thought and thought and thought until I came to the wonderful conclusion that there is nothing in the whole world better to put in a pretty gold basket than some red wrapped Lindor chocolate. Everyone here knows my love for Lindt chocolate is a passionate thing and when I went to the supermarket the next day, I found a huge box, containing 19 Lindors, on special! An opportunity I was not one to miss, I bought the box and filled my pretty gold basket to the brim:
Well, three hours passed and I was not tempted in the least.
Ten minutes after that three hours the 19 was 16.
Of course, when Dad got home I was a generous daughter and gave him one with his coffee.
The 16 was 11 (yes, I helped a little, but that's off the subject).
That night we watched a Christmas movie and I did share, because how could 11 possibly get down to 2 tiny little Lindors in one sitting?
It was then that I decided to either buy a smaller bowl or a bigger box.
I think a bigger box.

Hi Bek,
I'm suprised you lasted three hours without eating any of them. I suppose, though, that the rest of the day made up for the three hours of self control. I would have thought that you would have saved at least one for your favourite cousin.
Now, Tegan, you very well know I would have saved one for you, only how could I have kept it in my cupbaord until tomorrow? Impossible.
My apologies and I hope I can make it up to you someday soon.
Of course, it would have melted and then it wouldn't have been as nice. I now understand how sacrificial you were. Thank you.
No need for thanks, it is just my duty to perform little speeches which are found acceptable in the eyes of ladies.
Oh, please don't go so far as to quote Mr. Collins. And if you don't mind my asking, do you spend time beforehand thinking up these acceptable comments, or do they arise from the impulse of the moment?
Rachel....

Nikki,
It doesn't look like you stole my name at all; I just thought it was funny that someone else had the same idea as me :) Nice...

Rebecca, I am so glad:
1. To find a fellow fan of Lindt chocolate balls (they are my FAVOURITE THING! - to eat, at least)
2. To note that you match me in self-control.
Hooray for kindred spirits!!
Why, Mrs. McLennan, I AM excited to find another Lindt chocolate lover. I just knew there would be more somewhere. Hurrah!
