I'm done! I'd like to say that all of my ultra-healthy detox habits stuck with me, but I'm actually sitting in my bed with a bag of Pirate's Booty. I wouldn't say I'm going on a bender, but man, I have missed carbs. It's kind of like exam week--you concentrate on studying non-stop and then after you're done, you just shut down for a little while. But after a week or so of doing nothing, you want to return to normalcy. So maybe I'm in a post-exam week bender, but I think I'll want to go back to normal after this week.
I guess in retrospect, this week has been unusual for me. I've made pretty elaborate baked goods for my roommate and my other close friend whose birthdays happen to be back to back. Remember that insane cookie cake that I was dreaming about when I was deep into my detox? I made it! It was a hit! I also made better than sex cupcakes for my other friend's birthday who requested not just chocolate cake, but chocolate chocolate chocolate cake. She was either channeling the goose from "Charlotte's Web" or someone on cocaine. Either way, I listened to her request and found cupcakes with five different chocolate parts. What can I say? I've always been an overachiever (LIE). The only downside to making these delicious baked goods is all the leftover cake around the house. And let me be clear, these were not low-fat "healthy" cakes. The cookie cake has a total of I think six sticks of butter in it (It's a Paula Deen adaptation. I'm surprised it didn't have more). The better than sex cupcakes are equally terrible for your health. What I need to do is make delicious, showstopping baked goods and give them away. Except that's pretty costly. So I need to sell them. Eureka! New (and only) life plan!
