Nobody
can tell me otherwise--IT IS A CONSPIRACY! In November I did a post
about being diagnosed with diabetes2 and two weeks later my friends
Terry and Chuck sent me 25 assorted brownies from Zest of Memphis who
make the best brownies! Okay they are my heirs and maybe they want to
get rid of me to get their inheritance sooner but I told them I have
already spent their inheritance.

It seems the supermarket I shop
at heard about the diagnosis because they have been having sales on all
kinds and shapes of carrot cakes since. I am going to have to put on
blinders before I go into the store because they are right in front as
you enter and turn right!

Then I thought I had a no Christmas
gift exchange pact with someone but then I got a HUGE package of all
kinds--name it and it was in the box--of dried fruits which are loaded
with sugar and four packages of different kinds of nuts. Now nuts are
healthy for you but 10 at a time, not a package at a time or eating all
four packages at one time! They will remain nameless but they know who
they are!

I love where I live. It is a senior citizen community
with a lot more women then men and even though I am gay and it is known
at this time of the year they all do baking. Who do you think get most
of the cookies and cakes? Right! The men! My neighbor across the way
makes miniature pound cakes and the neighbor downstairs bakes a cake and
always gives me a big chuck. All kinds of cookies are left in bags on
the door knobs of my back and front door. I LOVE IT but I have to start
behaving myself because after the first of the year I have to go in for
sugar levels!

Meanwhile I have to get rid of all the cookies. NO!
Throwing them out would be a sin and not eating them will be an insult
to all the ladies who slaved over a hot oven just for me. (Well and a
hundred other guys!) I have to get serious about this diabetes
thing--tomorrow.

Oh wait! More! Allen bought me a carrot cake! Is
he in cahoots with Chuck and Terry for my money? And then I got a
catalog from North Carolina for---are you ready for this?--VALENTINE
COOKIES!!! People haven’t gotten rid of their Christmas trees and I’m
getting Valentine cookie catalog! It is a conspiracy friends!
