Obesity Epidemic

If I am a big fat, fat, fatty the next time you see me this is a blog about the reason why:
Easter...(dun, dun, DUUUNNN)
I mean seriously check out the chocolate our house scored. There is enough to start an obesity epidemic in this apartment and also maybe some major cavity problems.

Yeah that's right, six giant Easter bunnies, two giant Easter eggs, and countless little eggy chocolates. I am getting a sugar rush just looking at this picture. Just in case you still don't understand, look at the size of this stuff:

I can't even get my hand around the egg, and the four giant Easter bunnies are even bigger. The worst part of this, is that this is only the main course of the Easter candies. We first had a friends Dad bring us a bunch of American Easter candies which we quickly devoured. Followed by Cassi's Mom sending us more, which were also quickly consumed. So after our first two appetizers of Easter candies you think we should be quite plumped and prepared. All I can say is that for once I am actually glad I did not receive a holiday package from my family in fear that it could have actually contained more Easter candy.
So far my main contribution has been eating this delicious milk chocolate Lindt bunny, well I have not devoured the whole thing, but pretty close and thinking of that also makes me feel a little queasy. This little bunny and it's smooth delicious chocolate never stood a chance.

I hope everyone in tomorrow and yesterland is having a wonderful Easter full of yummy food and great friends and family. I think I am going to have to put in a lot of good lap time in the pool in the near future. I fear that I am going to eat so much chocolate that it I will never again be able to enjoy the sweet smooth melting sensation that accompanies enjoying a nice piece of chocolate. Well either that or I shall join the obesity epidemic. At least I will be able to eat for free at the Heart Attack Grill (seriously, this place advertises and aims to make people fat, they let you eat for free if you weigh over 350 pounds, I can't make this stuff up, but that is a whole other can of worms that I don't have the energy to go into right now.)
Signing out from tomorrow land.

Rights

In the United States you have the right to:
-remain silent
-free speech
-religion

In Australia you have the right to:
-Coffee
-Tea

Coffee and tea are such a big part of life here, that it is practically a human right. There is a coffee shop everywhere you look, more than there are Starbucks in the States, and I have only seen one Starbucks since I have been here. At my new job, there is a coffee machine that makes lattes and cappuccinos(none of our drip coffee stuff :(). Not only that but they have a wide selection of teas as well. The kitchen here offers snacks, the snacks cost, but the drinks are free. It is perfectly acceptable at any point in the day to just go and get a warm beverage from the kitchen. So I think I might just grab myself some morning tea.
