Just Say No!

It is 9 in the evening, I've been awake since 5 this morning, I'm exhausted, lately I've had trouble sleeping, I just took a sleeping pill, and I have a Twinkie and a chocolate Hostess cupcake in my possession. I want to sleep tonight. I also want very much to eat that Twinkie.

You may be asking yourself, "What's the big deal? Just eat the Twinkie!". *Sigh*. Under normal circumstances, I would, in fact, just eat the Twinkie. My concern, however, is that the massive amount of sugar that makes up probably 99.9% of this delicious, cream filled cake, will somehow work against me in my quest to experience a full night of uninterrupted slumber.

BUT. I do believe that at this very moment, from my particular spot on my bed, with the door closed, I can hear that Twinkie calling my name. "Raaaaaccchhhheeelllll! Raaaaaccchhheeellll! It's me, your little Twinkie friend. I'm golden, spongey, soft, and filled with the smoothest cream you ever tasted. C'mon, just take one bite!"

I really want this Twinkie.

I really want to sleep.

I don't want to spend my night tossing and turning because I couldn't exhibit the self-control of a responsible adult and just say no to the Twinkie.

Hmmmmmmm........

Ok...for now, sleep wins. I can only hope and pray that I don't wake up in the morning to  find a wrapper next to me in bed, with sticky fingers and cream on the sides of my mouth!
