What Suzy Did at School Today

I asked A. what she did at preschool today as I was setting up my laptop and getting ready for the big push to get a second application in for a job but she wouldn't tell me. She would tell me what "Suzy Did." Hmmm...Here's an excerpt:
"And then what did she do when she sat at the table?"
"She at a snack, like this. And she ate some apples and some crackers and some fruit, and she ate it all!"
"And then what did she do?"
"She read some books and she took a nap."

Sounds good to me. I would love to take a nap. What is it that I most want to do today? I would really like to have ANOTHER peanut butter and jelly sandwich, or a Dunkin Donuts number 1 special. But, I keep reminding myself that I want to look good when S.O. graduates, and when it gets to be summertime. I want to look good when I can afford to buy some new clothes and shoes. *Sigh.* Dunkin Donuts=immediate gratification. Looking good three months from now...you do the math. I suppose if I was exercising now, I could get the psychological lift from that right now...but I would still want some donuts. So would the exercising cancel out the donut eating? Not unless I exercised for about five hours...this is the type of meaningless decision making that I wish I could cut out from my brain. OR I could just take a pill to get rid of my donut dependency and that would be that.
