To pizza or not to pizza...

You never know how or when temptation will strike. Sitting back enjoying my evening with my beautiful wife watching episodes of "Chopped -- All Stars" MEANDERING ALERT (according to Dave Ramsey 6% of wealthy watch reality TV vs. 78% of poor) kind of made me hungry... I mean seeing all of that gourmet food. Now I am NOT a gourmet food guy, so when my mind processes a concept like "gourmet food" immediately I think of pizza.

So, during the last episode we watched, the single goal I had going on in my brain was "I hope this episode ends before Yoke's closes so I can get a DiGiorno's pizza" because you know... I am hungry. No. It is true I am not feeling real hunger. I am feeling basic American hunger. Call it the hunger of fat people, not that I would consider myself fat... but whatever that index ratio thing they use to pinch you at the gym (bmi?) well... you get the idea. Anyhow, the show ends. I carry my daughter up to bed. Good night to all. I grab my jacket, put it on and look at the clock. It is 11:26 p.m. I find myself standing in the kitchen for a couple of minutes, transfixed on some nothingness on my phone. Karen comes in and says "well, are you going or not?" My response surprised me. I replied with, "I am wasting time so Yoke's has time to close." I mean, I WANTED that pizza. I still have to take my 7-8 pills to control my diabetes for the night. I still have to take my 50 some units of insulin... but I WANTED that pizza. I WANTED PIZZA!!!!

Historical Quote Alert:

"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

~ Neil Armstrong

I did not go get the pizza. After I right this blog I will go get eat some Sunmaid raisin toast, and yes, I might even have four pieces with butter. But to all you cynics out there thinking I shouldn't, well at least it isn't even more carbohydrates with the happy bonus of cheese, sausage and pepperoni.

"No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it."

~ 1st Corinthians 10:13 (NKJV)

Yes. I believe that my escape tonight lies with toasted raisin bread... and butter.
