Memories of childhood come rushing back to me now. Sugar and I together on the swingset, enjoying a cherry popcicle. Packed snugly into my Hong Kong Phooey lunch box was my chocolate snack pack. How we laughed together at the fair on the merry-go-round, holding a mile-high cotton candy on a paper cone.
The years passed and soon I was a teenager....and Sugar was right there beside me. Six packs of Coke seemed to disappear in an instant with friends. Our first sip of Strawberry wine....even our first kiss,lips drenched in blueberry flavored Baskin Robbins lip gloss. Of course, there was that time that Sugar and I weren't speaking. I had decided to "diet", and Sugar didn't hang around to watch. However, within a week we were back together again, celebrating our reunion with a box of Ho-Ho's.
As an adult, Sugar has been with me on my most memorable occasions. Our chocolate wedding cake, endless boxes of Valentine's Day candies from my husband....but it's not just the special occasions. Everyday things are made more special with my beloved Sugar. That morning cup of coffee, the bon-bons I eat while watching soap operas, and the ice cream after dinner. Sugar has been with me through happy times and sad times and has never let me down. Sugar has stuck by my side, and ON my side/hips/butt for my entire life.
They say you can never have too much of a good thing....however my doctor and the results of my glucose testssay differently. So, it is with great sadness I must bid farewell to my lifelong friend. Oh, I will be able to see Sugar on occasion....special celebrations, a Christmas cookie here and there....but our constant companionship must cease. I suppose it is for my own good. My health must come before my obsession with sweets; I wouldn't be a good wife or mother if I continue to feed my cravings and ruin my health. I will miss you,my friend. But remember, we'll always have the pumkin pie....
Your friend, Sherry

AWWW,poor Sherry.(as I enjoy my coffee loaded w/cream and sugar). KIM
More for me!
Well if you are emptying out all it's belongings...I'll take the HoHo's and any Krispy kremes you have laying around.
You poor thing! This is indeed a sad occasion. Does this mean we won't be staggering through the streets of J land together after Lent, me with my beer, you with your wine? Well, you probably won't be able to afford wine or any form of sugar soon now that you have a boat, LOL!
Seriously now, you better take care of yourself and do what your doc tells you! That is nothing to mess around with!!! Promise?
OMG! And to find out after all these years that Sugar has been cheating on me! And I thought our relationship was special!
Oh Sherry, it isn't farewell, more like short visits every now and then. And it promise's to leave you a reminder, a new friend, one that now that sugar is not going to be around. It's name is Cravings. A bold new friend that will always tell you of your friendship with sugar and remind you of the good times. Yes, cravings will work hard to keep the memory of sugar strong and through the magic of the senses, will forever have you longing for your old friend. Hugs Lanny
>the bon-bons I eat while watching soap operas<
LOL, yes, what would a sahm be with that? Skinny I guess. I'm sure you'll miss it, but just think... by summer how sexy will you look on that boat? ~Melissa
Ah---too bad Sherry. I'm not the biggest fan of sugar, but I do love the icing on a cake. I promise not to tempt you with stories of skittles and M&M's...
Don't feel bad--I've been mourning him for three weeks, now. I sure do miss him! ~Kim :o)
So, like everything else in life, it comes down to blaming the parents!! Okay, so I was the one who started you on blueberry buckle, but it was innocent enough. I mean all that ground up pork and beef and ham baby food was so gross. I could get you to eat anything if it was dipped in blueberry buckle. And don't forget the apple cobbler. I guess I am to blame!! I'll admit it, I have broad shoulders, and a couple of other broad places, because the truth is, I, too, have been having an affair with Domino, you know him, I guess you could call him my Sugar Daddy. Anyway, since I started it, I guess I will jump on the sugar wagon with you too. It seems the least I can do. But really JB, you were a very sweet baby!!! Fudgie a.k.a. Mom
OMG Sherry! You are friggin' HYSTERICAL!!! You should seriously write for a newspaper or magazine or something. You have talent girl!!! And, don't worry, I will be sitting here drinking my coffee with my 3 spoonfuls of sugar thinking of you. Actually, I think YOUR sugar has just knocked on my door . . . .yep, it's Sherry's Sugar. Mind if I keep him for awhile, he looks so sad?! Hee-hee!
Hugs and love, Lisa
ahhhhhhhh Sherry sooooo sorry to hear about this sad news ... I'm wondering now if the sugar refineries will remain in business without your continued support!
BTW ... Sonny is telling me has a defination for the term boat. It's a hole in the water that you throw your money in. (he has one ~ Kim & I happen to LOVE it)

This was too funny! Sugar is my friend too although I've been trying to shake him off a bit. I guess running mentally justifies me being able to sneak a lovey of him in every now and then. Good luck!
