that when you decide to stop something, suddenly it's everywhere?
Last week, I decided I'd go a month without eating chocolate. I'd been binging a bit lately (I am seriously addicted to that sweet sweet darkness) and so made the decision to go cold turkey (can't do moderation - it's feast or famine with me, as regards to chocolate).
Since then, LG have released a new phone called, "CHOCOLATE" and has billboards everywhere, especially on the trains I take to work.
I also noticed for the first time ever that in the freezer compartment of my fridge I've had for 7 months now, it says on the inside door tray, "Chocolate Ice Delicious Chocolate Cool Cool Chocolate" (Honestly! I shit you not. That's what it says).
And to top it all off, last week in the mall I walk through to catch the train, the Kodak shop closed and 'Godiva', a high quality (and price) Swiss Chocolate shop opened in it's place. Which means I now have to walk past two Swiss chocolate shops (and there's another one on the 2nd floor, along with a specialty cake shop that specialises in, of course, chocolate cakes), a Belgian chocolate shop, a Ben and Jerry's ice cream palour and a specialised supermarket that has over 100 different types of chocolate available, most of them high quality from Switzeland and Belgium.
Proof surely that there is a God and he really enjoys yanking my chain.
