Candy Heaven

For those of you not IN THE KNOW, 4-Gott is my favorite candy store in all of Gothenburg. I stumbled upon it one sunny day (must have been September) when Anna (amazingly fun friend from Uppsala days who now studies a JIB) and I were out shopping (or perhaps in search of lunch, eating and shopping being our activities of choice during daytime hours).

Well, when out for a stroll with my good friends Kadri and Sebastian this past Monday. (killing time between breakfast and lunch... wow my life revolves around food) I discovered that a new location opened right by apartment!!! Conveniently located next door to my grocery store and the EVIL EVIL gym!

Yes upon this discovery I was more excited than any kid has ever been in a candy store. Rushed inside and filled a bag with sugary goodness.

Flash forward to today:

Feeling slightly exhausted from a two hour nap this afternoon, I decided to brave the gym, which would be followed by a quick stop at the grocery store to pick up yogurt for breakfast tomorrow. Midway through my 3.25 minute walk to the gym I decided I was not in the mood for sweating relentlessly next to human cyborgs and headed right to the grocery store. Picked up some yogurt, yalla drinking yogurt, and Echinacea. (for those of you who don't know I am shunning modern medicine aka the flu vaccine in favor of natural immune system fortification... I am currently drinking about a gallon of orange juice a day, consuming 1 carrot stick, followed by two clementines, fortified with cottage cheese for lean protein... yea I read about it on the web) Well, not eager to return home just yet I decide to stop by the good ol' candy store for some dessert, which would follow my immune fortifying dinner. Less than ten seconds out of the shop and the bag was already opened and my sugar fest commenced.

Needless to say, my immune fortifying dinner never really happened, I was too full from the 5 kg of candy I felt inclined to consume?

Ahh the perks of being a grown up and being allowed to make your own poor life decisions!
