Indulge

i was craving cookie dough yesterday and had a rough conversation with my self.

self: "don't make the cookie dough. you will just eat it."

self 2: "duh."

self: "don't do it"

self 2: "come on. you know you want to. you deserve it."

self: "yeah, you deserve an extra tire on your hips."

self 2: "chocolate chips.......oatmeal......peanut butter......."

self: "okay. okay. shut up."
