Giving in

I couldn't hold out. I succumbed to the sugary devil that is Halloween treats. It was a tough battle and I stayed strong for longer than I thought I could. But, when it was announced over the PA system that a Halloween dessert buffet was taking place in the lounge, I knew I was facing a steep uphill battle. And, as each time I went to fill my mug up with water, that large chocolate chip cookie and decorated cookies blocked my path, I knew I couldn't hold out much longer. So, I relented and cut a chunk of that large cookie and ate half an orange-colored cookie. I passed up the pumpkin pie, apple pie, and can of whip cream. And, I am proud to say, that my Jack-o-lantern cookie still remains intact on my desk.
