The Thrill of Victory Followed by the Agony of Defeat!

What a day! I was so proud of myself just an hour ago. I fancied a fastnacht on "Fat Tuesday" but alas, did not get one. So when I went to our local grocery store a bit ago and saw fastnachts being sold, I grab a package. Then I got to thinking - hey I only wanted ONE and there are a dozen here! Knowing me and my lack of portion control, I put them back and did not buy them. Hooray!

While I was gone, my bundt pound cake was baking in the oven for tomorrow's dinner for company. I had a strategy for that - eat a piece and send the rest home with my guests. Much to my dismay, the cake STUCK to the pan. I tried every trick I knew of to un-stick it - all to no avail. Ugly pieces of cake everywhere and the squirrels just got an expensive little treat - but NOT before I grabbed a hunk and angrily stuffed it in my mouth! Aggggghhhhhhhhhhh!
