"the freshman 15"

I was really craving oatmeal cookies yesterday while Amy and I were making a Target run. Now, I'm not stupid. I know if I have junk food in the house I'll want to eat it. But once in awhile I just want a little something sweet. Normally I can talk myself out of it, but come on! Would it really be so terrible to have a cookie now and then? I'm not asking for brownies or fudge or really decadent things. Just a simple little cookie. But Amy said one little thing now will lead to one little thing later, and then I'll be irritated with myself. Better to just not have any. I told her if she keeps being the dessert police I'll gain her "freshman 15" for her when she leaves for college since I'll have to make up for lost time. She didn't laugh. She just gave me that "you'll thank me later" look that I love to hate. This afternoon she's candystriping. I'm making cookies, and they smell awesome!!!! How bad can they be, anyway...oatmeal, rice krispies, coconut (ok, so that's not so great), eggs, flour, etc. And did I mention the batter tastes yummy?!!! No regrets. At least not till later anyway.
