When i'm 85 I'm going to eat all of the chocolate I want, whenever I want. And Smarties, too, because i love them. They're one of my favorite non-chocolate candies of all time but i rarely indulge because I'm generally trying to be "good." I swear, that whole idea will be tossed out the moment I turn 85.

Why 85, you ask? We'll, because i have this cute little neighbor lady, Sylvia, who manages a sister building across the street. She's 85 this year and has been managing for 16 YEARS. oh, kill me now. Sylvia really wants to quit her job but was not left with much money when her husband passed away. She sat down with her kids and figured out that if she played things really tight, she could live for another 4 to 5 years and then she'd be completely out of money. In the next breath, she said the doctor recently told her her sugar levels were up so she stopped eating all sweets, including chocolate. Even dark chocolate. All I could think was, if you only have a couple of years left of money, anyway, screw the whole blood sugar worries and just live out the rest of your days eating what you want to eat. why stop the chocolate now? It seems the perfect time to UP the sweets if you ask me.

I know, i know. So easy to say, so hard to do. With my luck i'd get diabetes and end up with huge hospital bills and then not die for another 15 years. Gosh, that sounded harsh. Anyway, chocolate aside, I hope she gets to quit sooner than later. My favorite sylvia question is, what's email?
