Cherries! Heavens the Cherries!

I am a little late in posting this as it was meant to be posted weeks ago. So of course the days won't really make sense but oh well at least something new is going up!


In near comatose state I weakly tap at the keys to recount the final moments of my life. With such joy I left this morning to the grocery store. I had received the weekly sale advertisement in the mail on Tuesday. Since Tuesday I have been dreaming of the deep red, luscious cherries that were photographed on the very first page of the flier. SALE they beckoned me. $2.49 a pound! My God they are never priced so reasonably! I must have them! My mouth has water since Tuesday; I have woken in a cold sweat every night craving those dainty treats. They are Gods candy! Finally Friday comes I can wait no longer. I must go. I must have the sweet fruit. I walk into the Grocery store. I make a bee line for the produce section. No! Damn! The children cry for their free cookies. I am side tracked but only momentarily. I give them their sad little treats. Those cookies pale in comparison to the tasty cherries I soon will have. I walk faster only to hit my second road block. It's the produce man. How will I pass him? I have no time to talk. I am on a mission! I throw him off by making a quick side step to look at bottled water. I see him walking towards me from the corner of my eye but Ha-Ha the little elderly woman saves me! She has a question about Jicama. Quickly I go to the cherries. They are there. Glorious. Tons of them. I pick the best looking bag I can find. I lovingly place them in my cart and race to make my purchase. I get in my car. I cannot wait I have to eat them NOW! But they are unwashed. I must not but I do!!!!! I come home and go about my day. Feeding kids, playing with kids, eating Gods Candy. I go to refill my bowl of cherries for what seems like the 100th time and there are no cherries left! Where could they have gone? I purchased 4 pounds. That's right. I ate them. Every last one. My tummy rumbles. I feel a slight pain in my side. I rush to the lavatory. Oh the pain! The cherries betray me. They are not God's Candy…they are the Devils Laxative! I hope to make it through night. I have a garage sale tomorrow.
