cakaholic

Good afternoon Diary. I have an announcement to make. MY NAME IS CHRIS ELLIS AND I'M A CAKAHOLIC! I hit bottom recently when I had a red velvet cupcake with a raspberry white chocolate cake chaser. Once I started I was like a train out of control. Shortly thereafter I was at the bakery for another chocolate fudge cupcake with mocha fudge frosting with a slice of chocolate cake with mint frosting for dessert. The next day I could not get out of bed. I had a cake hangover to end all cake hangovers. I had to have several "hairs of the dog" to bring myself up to functioning condition. I made the mistake of making that "Hair of the dog" crack within ear shot of Little and he took immediate umbrage forcing me to buy back his love all morning with coffee and donuts. Chihuahuas apparently love donuts which explains why Little now looks like a woolly bear caterpillar with back boobs.

Speaking of cracks or crack, I have decided that kicking methamphetamine must be easier than trying to become my own master against the evil cake empire. Times are harsh now Diary and I have a long climb up from the bottom. I am now in a 12 step program (for which I have left out several steps because I am just too lazy to do them.) I have written up a list of those close to me that I have harmed with my Cakaholism (which is a disease, not a choice). I will pay back every dime I have pilfered for "just one more trip to the bakery" I have accounted for every moment that I have been at the Safeway licking the pastry glass when I said I would be somewhere else. I will make wholesome meals for my family instead of pretending it is someone's birthday (everyday) and honoring them with a cake in absentia. The masks are off now Diary and my soul is bare. I pray that I will be strong when I see Sarah Lee commercials on TV or smell freshly baked cookies as I shop innocently at the Safeway.

I have taken the first step Diary. I have Little here are my guide (although he is a slim reed upon which to lean when it comes to self control. I guess something is more than nothing.) Let's see what tomorrow brings.......
