Every Aussie will tell you the trick with vegemite -- you others spread it on too think. The key is toast and just a light spread sort of like it is hardily there. Unfortunately they won't allow them to be imported into Australia :( @Gregory Stringer, Yes I’m a tru-blu fairdim Aussie Sheila.

Do you really eat vegemite? I couldn't get it down. Give me a few days to check around on the'Net for the chocolate (BTW, it's kinda gritty, but if you grate some, it's makes the most wonderful hot cocoa), and I'll see what I can find. And once I graduate and land that high paying position, I'll air drop you a couple of pallets of Krispy Kremes. Don't tell me, let me guess; you like the chocolate iced ones, right? ;-) @Sue Waters, Ooops, didn’t realize you come from a land down under. Do you really eat vegemite? I couldn’t get it down.

We don't even have Krispy Kremes here which is like criminal. You can always spot the West Australian returning from the East Coast of Australia by all the crates full of Krispy Kremes -- what a site to see at the airport 8-) Yes exercise -- on my to-do list :( @Gregory Stringer, we don’t have Mexican stores in Australia (or perhaps where I live in Australia).

Now vanilla! I drink vanilla milk (as opposed to chocolate) and vanilla milk shakes. To make vanilla milk, simply use the best available grade of vanilla extract (certainly NOT artificial), some sugar which has been stored with a couple of vanilla beans, and add milk. If you think chocolate milk is good, this stuff is incredible! @Paige Lahaise, Hey Paige, I don’t know that I’m afraid of chocolate, but I do feel the only reason for it’s creation was so there would be a good covering for nuts.

To be honest, I couldn't live without Outlook. I'm an online student, and so in order to make sure I get my studies done in a timely manner, I make "appointments" wherein I set aside time for each subject, and thus "attend class" just as I would were I a traditional student. The same goes for exercise (I've launched upon a wellness program with the assistance of Limeade.com), setting aside "appointments" for time to get it done each day. Plus, I get reminders automatically warning me that the time to do these activities is approaching. If you're a real chocoholic, stop by a tienda de abarrotes (Mexican grocery store) and try to find some Mexican style chocolate; usually a mixture of chocolate, nuts, cinnamon, etc. To die for! Speaking of dying, ever tried Death by Chocolate? @Sue Waters, LOL Sue!

They can be positive, e.g. keeping a neat and clean house, spending time improving our wellness, blogging, etc. Or they can be negative, e.g. drugs, poor and unhealthy habits, dangerous lifestyles, ad infinitum. Balance is always key. I know that for myself, it is easy for me to get lost in whatever activity I'm involved in at the moment. Sometimes that's school work, or exercise, or cooking, or practicing my comedy magic routines. What is important is that I work hard, and then take a break and play hard. And I must continuously remember that others share in the world that I live, and so must respect them as well as myself. So, enjoy some chocolate, and maybe a little stroll afterwards!

No problem re-humor the World is full of serious blog posts some times we need the opportunity to just have a chuckle. @Tammy Gillmore, I still vote that we aren’t addicts — but is that a sign of a true addict one that says they aren’t an addict?
