Not going to make it...

I have been dying for pumpkin pie for about a month.

I've tried to hold off, to wait for Thanksgiving, for the full enjoyment of the tradition of that day...

but it ain't gonna happen.

All my noble thoughts of sacrificing this craving until next Thursday have flown out the window.

Like Lent, I thought. I can wait- and the reward will be that much sweeter.

I am a failed Catholic.

I will be eating my pumpkin pie tonight. As penance, I will make the pie crust myself.

It will suck, so I will be redeemed.

It has been decreed.
