i've been very bad

I had a mini chocolate-peanut butter cupcake from Starbucks this afternoon. Oh, it was heavenly.

Then when I left work, a cupcake truck was giving out free(!) cupcakes. And I couldn't help myself...again.

I blame this damn sweet tooth of mine. Like clockwork, every afternoon around 2-3pm, I have this craving for sweets. Do you ever get a craving for something sweet (or salty) around a certain time? Ever indulge?

SE - I love mini Snickers, too. I never buy the whole bar because after a while, it just tastes like junk to me. But in moderation, it's so good!

Aqui - Cupcakes are definitely in the top tier of my favorite desserts as well!

Jamillah - Oh, I will never turn down a free anything. Especially cupcakes!

Megan and Nyanzi - I guess I don't feel so guilty now. After hearing feedback from all you cupcake supporters, I feel better about myself. Ha!

Erin - Wow, you do love your sweets! A sweet breakfast like waffles and maple syrup or jam on toast can be really delicious and gratifying...

Sounds heavenly! I haven't tried the Starbucks peanut butter one yet, but I'll have to upon your recommendation!

And I have to, have to, have to have a little something sweet after dinner. :)
