I just finished my celebratory bag of Double Stuff Oreos I bought Wednesday after finding out some happy news. It's taken me 3 and a half days with a little help from Alan.

Right before I started to dunk that final luscious wonder of joy into my ice cold milk, (it's the proper way and only way to eat an O-R-E-O), a thought flashed through my mind.

Yes, I know sometimes it's a quick trip through...but, if your lucky you may get lost.

As I was saying....the thought of how on earth is anyone ever suppose to ban anything so delicious from ever landing on their taste buds. It's pure JOY I tell you!

I started thinking about all the other fantastic combinations I enjoy:

*Peanut Butter and Jelly - I prefer just to delicately balance a mixture in a bowl and eat it without bread...me like it very much. I also like the other kind of Peanut Butter and Jelly time....uh hum.
*Hot Cocoa and Marshmallows - It's funny I HATE marshmallows solo. Peeps are the worst ...Ack! But Hot Cocoa without Marshmallows just isn't as wonderful.
*Bologna and Mustard - It's the only sandwich of any sort I can eat with Mustard instead of mayo.
*Mayo and Tuna - It's just gross trying to eat Tuna solo or heaven forbid with mustard.....Yuck!
*Iced Tea with Sweet n Low - I know it's not good for you especially the "real foodies" but, sugar just doesn't taste the same and Tea without sweetener is just bland to me.
*Movies and Popcorn - I actually can't stand popcorn. Even the smell of popcorn makes me want to leave. I blame it on my first son...LOL. When I was pregnant with Matthew, popcorn and I had an intimate relationship. I LOVED you so.....so much that I would crave it often and not just any popcorn but, the REAL movie theater popcorn. Yep! Authentic or it just didn't taste right.
*Birthday Cake and Ice Cream - Yes, you can eat one without the other but I bet hands down that we all agree Birthday Cake is so much better with Ice Cream.
*Coffee and Cigarettes - No worries ...I gave the smokes up almost 2 years ago but, I have to say when I drink that first cup in the morning I feel like something is missing. I'm also glad it's not my lungs. :-)

Then there are those combo sayings and rhetoric:

*We are like Peas and Carrots - I've never been sure what it means except that perhaps the two are more easier eaten together.....?? Really?? I don't think so.
*Shits and Giggles - I get this one but, hope it never happens to me for real. If it ever does it better be because I saw or heard something REALLY funny and not just because I no longer have control over my bowels. Yes, I said that.
*Cherries with Sugar on top - It sounds cute coming from a toddlers mouth. I am also certain that out there somewhere there is an adult themed dance duo on a pole together or a porn film with this title as well. Yikes!

My point is....we are curious creatures to say the least. Everything in moderation isn't just a good thing to say. It's a good thing to do. Enjoying life and it's pleasures man made or not are what life is all about. I think it's much healthier to do things that are perhaps indulgent in moderation than to just be so dang boring all the time. Eat your milk and cookies first one day before dinner dang it! Have a Hot Fudge Sundae for breakfast once a year. If your only intake is nuts, grains and fiber your never going to be able to experience the rest of the world cause you are going to be too busy in the bathroom. The world does not have a pause button. Take a bite and enjoy how delicious it can really be.
