Resisting "him" NSV

I went to Croatia over the summer and had a love affair with Paprika Pringles (they are the bee's knees!). A couple of weeks ago I went to Amsterdam and fell in love again. I picked up a couple of tubes because they are only sold in the EU, and brought some home for friends and family that are equally obsessed. Today I was at the local shop and low an behold, they were there! Shining brightly in their golden; ray of sunshine, tubing. They beckoned me to buy them, I could hear them calling my name as I stumbled by, trying to resist temptation. I even stopped to text a friend who knows how irresistible they are. Proudly, I left them behind and went to check out, but suddenly I had pangs of regret! What if I never saw them again? Panic struck and I started to think that I could take them home and store them somewhere safe until Christmas Day. Without guilt, my old flame and I could rekindle our love just one last time in celebration. But I know that it's not right, we are not meant to be. We are bad for each other, so I stood strong and walked away without turning back.

    This is probably for the best. He'll only break your heart. Remember, if you have to hide a relationship it's probably not the right relationship for you. And, if you focus on Mr. Wrong you'll never find Mr. Right.

    On the other hand ... a romp with an old flame every once in a while is good for one's soul. Maybe you could pass him along to a friend until Christmas ... you know, just so you'll have him. Unless of course your friend takes him without you realizing it.

    Gawd ... what's a girl to do??? Relationships are hard.
  • :laugh: That's a perfect NSV! I hope to be as strong as you one day, I probably would have given in! :laugh:

    Amazing!! I don't think I could exercise your willpower. I fell in love with paprika Pringles last summer while in Poland. If I ever saw them here, then I might buy the entire shelf!
