success:

(a peak inside my easter basket, one month later)

if you remember, i gave up sugar for lent. which meant, on easter, (my favorite holiday) i would be able to eat candy to my lil' hearts' content... i was especially excited for the cadbury eggs, which are one of my all-time favorite candies, and some jellybeans. i was also excited for the celebration with my parents- we don't necessarily do a traditional easter dinner or celebration, but mom ALWAYS gets us easter candy/basket/treats.

this year she didn't disappoint. here is a fabulous view of it!
AND, best part, is this is almost a month later.... i didn't fall off the sugar wagon as hard as i had thought. this pic is evidence of my self-restraint and discipline.

and craziness: how are there THREE cadbury eggs in there that haven't been eaten?!
