it was finally more than i could take.
they were calling me from the easter candy isle for a month and i finally gave in.
i am weak.
i bought the smallest bag.
but i ate the whole thing….over three days.
robin eggs are my fav.
and now they are gone and that is out of the way.
i am out to door to exercise.
see ya.
Courtney Walsh - I’m not sure why I decided it would be a good idea to try and go on a sugar fast the day after Easter. I am weak too…and the kids’ robin eggs and cadbury mini eggs are calling my name from behind the cupboard door in the kitchen!!
Michelle Whitlow - I loooove Robin eggs. They’re my fave, too!! Every time one of my kids gets one, they say “it’s your favorite mommy!” That and Cadbury eggs….
Tara Caspar - Omi… I LOVE the Robin eggs. They are my favorite of all Easter candy! I get the “mini” ones so I can have one yummy bite, and they last longer. Or at least that’s what I tell myself. 🙂 It’s Easter, enjoy!
Kristi - Mine are the Cadbury Mini Eggs. I bought a bag for my daughter’s Easter basket, but it’s ok because the only other candy I got for her were Peeps, and I HATE those. Did you know they actually have a cookbook out for Peeps???
Kathryn Goertzen - I did the SAME thing . . . smallest bag possible . . . malted milk eggs . . . ate the whole bag . . . before I got home!! (I do live several miles out in the country)
Leigh - Robin eggs are the best!!! Now I’m really craving them…
Melanie - I am trying to cut back on sugar but it is hard. I haven’t had a coke in about a week but it is calling me tonight and I am giving in:(
Happy Easter.
Heather - Oh, how this post made me laugh!
Way too close to home 🙂
Trish - i did the same thing with peanut butter m&m’s the kids will never know they were suppose to be in there basket! ugh
meaghan - WEAK?!?! SERIOUSLY!?!? you went WEEKS w/o sweets! i can’t make it a day! you go girl…eat that chocolate!
Tara - the Reese’s peanut butter eggs have been the death of me this year.
Thea - I love those robin eggs too! They are such a weakness…let’s face it…any chocolate is a weakness for me! Enjoy your day! God bless and Happy Easter!
Becky @ Farmgirl Paints - Let’s see… I had a piece of pizza, a chocolate shake and a blueberry pancake today. So I think a little bag of candy isn’t too bad:) Walk it off girl!
Lisa - I can’t even tell you how many peanut butter eggs I had this week. It would gross you out!
sara's art house - OK- I admit- I totally copied you and went and wrote some verses on my chalkboard wall in colored chalk just like you. And then I posted a close-up pic of my jellybeans and I come here and see your cute bowl of robin’s eggs….great minds think alike 🙂
We are devouring our jelly bellies.
Sharla - Jolly Rancher jelly beans. Enough said 🙂
Dianne - You’re better than me…I just bought two bags each of reeses eggs and mini eggs…I’m SO weak!
tasha roe - those are my favorite too!! i cant buy them though….those and cadburry eggs. sigh. i am a sucker for seasonal/holiday candy – candy corn, conversation hearts, robin eggs. i know myself too well…i would have eaten that tiny bag in one sitting. you did good!
Dana Banana - ME TOO!! Robin Eggs are the bomb! (have only eaten part of a bag….so far)
Karina - LOL, I’m eating peanut butter chipits as I read this – too lazy even to eat the chocolate you’re supposed to eat, I go straight for the ingredients in the pantry! You are so not alone in this. And no, my pants from last summer do not fit. I must also get out and exercise – good for you for actually doing it, not just talking about it.
Laura - OMG Meg! I LOVE robin eggs too!
I bought them yesterday afternoon and ate 2/3 of the bag. The remaining eggs are calling me from the desk drawer, where I hid them from the rest of the family! I’m trying to ignore them! I might have to give in though… just to get it over with!
I’m SO glad I’m not the only one!
Tonya - oh they’re my fave too! i didn’t buy any this year….mainly b/c i never saw them! 😉
merlin - I can’t believe the timing of this post.
Just last night I had to explain to my husband and teenager how chocolate can talk, it speaks to me, serenading me into poor choices. It must. I don’t understand it, but I hear it through the cupboard door and the wall….”I’m here, all sweet deliciousness, just for you, I am here for you, melting sugary goodness, all for you”
I have a battle, arguing with the chocolate “no, not for me, you are for a specific purpose” and yet that chocolate sweet talks its way into my mouth. And then I am left wondering what happened, how did the empty wrapper get there, because I certainly had no intention of eating chocolate that was meant for somebody else. Yes, I told them sitting there looking at me incredulously, while I tried to explain the empty wrapper, “I have decided the devil lives in chocolate, that is how he disguises himself and I am so, so very weak.” “OK Mom, the devil’s in the chocolate” replies my teen, not sounding convinced.
Tegan and Tage - Easter candy is pure evil. EVIL!
And delicious.
Kelly - My mom bought Easter candy for us when she was here THREE weeks ago but wanted us to save it till Easter for an Easter basket since we wouldn’t be together. I had to hide that bag I tell you and I am sooo looking forward to it on Sunday!! 🙂 Kelly
Jessica Reed - I have the same problem… I love the cream filled Cadberry eggs. hmm…yumm… Thankfully they are TOO sweet… it takes me the whole week to finish off the pack of three. 🙂
Jennifer - My favorite is Dove Truffle Eggs. I went to 3 stores before I found them. *THAT* is weak. 🙁
Jill - They are my favorite, too! It’s just once a year, enjoy them. Though if you like malted milk balls, try to find Cadbury’s Maltesers one day. They’re English, and are absolutely fantastic.
Annie - At least you’re excercising! I keep telling my butt I need to do something, but alas – no working out for me. Instead I bought dark chocolate truffles 🙁
Ariel - I too ate the whole bag…in 24 hrs. You are stronger that I am when it comes to those little eggs….thank goodness they are gone now!
Christy - Chicks & bunnies for me, only Brach’s brand (like circus peanuts). I must eat them every Easter oh & Reese’s PB eggs, chilled. I can’t help it.
Mary - They have an Easter isle (as in island) at your store? How wonderful!
Lori - I am the same way with candy corn at Halloween. I have to buy a bag and eat it until I feel sick, then I am done! Otherwise, I spread it out and end up eating way more. At least, that’s my justification. Happy Easter!
Jennifer - I have a terrible problem with the Reece’s Peanut Butter Eggs!!!
Lorilee - I adore Robin’s Eggs too! I have bought several bags. Luckly, I usually just eat 4 or 5 every few days.
Blessings,
Lorilee
Paige - Mine are the Cadbury mini eggs…..just walk away. If I buy a bag, they are gone! Immediately!
Nicolle W. - my favorite too! One of the reasons I always look forward to Easter….
Esther Harper - oh my dear, I can totally relate but mine is marshmallow peeps…lol
Lee Ann - You are so NOT alone!
Amy - oh I know how you feel. I am glad the big Cadbury creme eggs only come in singles (don’t tell me about the smaller pack, i know). I love, love , love those things!
