Fox News and Chocolate

I gave up two very hard things this past week-Fox News and chocolate. I have become addicted to both. So I decided that I needed to take a week off from them

I thought once the election was over that my addiction to Fox News would end. I was wrong. Now I had to hear all the commentary about our new President-Elect. I couldn't believe they were already taking polls about his approval rating and about how American's felt about Washington being so one sided-democrat. According to the media, we are all ok with the Congress and Presidency being all democrat and Obama's approval rating is sky high. Amazing, is this the same media that was rooting for Obama all along? Do we actually believe all these polls? Now I realize I am off on a tangent.

I have always had a chocolate addiction. But I usually try to limit it to a small piece daily. Unfortunately with four kids trick or treating, my house is filled with tons of chocolate. I found I needed a piece after each meal. So, the only way I know how to break my bad habit of eating too much chocolate is to give it up cold turkey. Lately, if I have just one piece, then I want more.

My week has ended and I am contemplating going another week without tv and chocolate. Mario doesn't care about the chocolate part, but he loves when I give up tv. I think he has become a little addicted to Fox News as well. This is bad since Mario rarely watches any television. He thinks there is always something better to do. When I started this fast I thought I would get a lot more done around the house. Unfortunately that didn't happen. I just went to bed earlier. It actually made getting laundry done harder since I hate to fold laundry without watching tv.
