Hey Everyone!
Have you ever found someone else's lead to be a bad influence in your life?
I keep in touch with a handful of people I've met on CC, and we usually chat a little every day, just talking about everyday life.
While this is a blessing I'm definitely thankful for, it can have... varying side effects. For instance, the Gardening Envy I now suffer with (as mentioned in another thread,) and in particular, Fanning the Flames of Food Cravings I am always trying to keep under control.
I have been craving pizza for weeks (I see it as a treat I don't have often,) but... it was mentioned earlier in the week, and... I really, really wanted pizza. I tried to hold out. But other chat members kept mentioning pizza, and so --
"I Bought and Ate a Pizza, and Now I Am Blaming @RodB651 and @cinder."
Now, I know I can't "really" blame them for my own choices but... They talked about eating pizza and (gasp) at one point, even had the audacity to post a picture, and so my willpower went right out the window. Therefore, it MUST somehow be their fault, right?!
Likewise, now --
"I Am Craving a Donut, And I Am Blaming @Lynx," because he mentioned having a donut. I've been craving donuts for weeks and was holding out, but for some reason -- hearing about someone else partaking in a Fried Ring of Tastiness makes me want to drive to a bakery immediately.
Alas. I haven't had a donut YET (I even ate a Fig Newton, trying to quell the temptation,) but I'm pretty sure I'm going to give in SOON -- and so I am surely blaming Lynx for it! (Especially since he mentioned one of my favorite kinds, the old-fashioned donuts usually made with buttermilk, enveloped in a thick ice-like coating of crystal glaze!)
How about you?
* When did you buy something "under the influence" of someone else?
* When did you try something because someone close to you tried it?
* When have you eaten things you might have otherwise resisted -- but SOMEONE just had to mention them to you?!
* Are there any activities you've tried -- that didn't go so well -- all because someone else you know did, and you couldn't resist?
If you are somehow easily influenced (in a playful way) by others, we feel your pain!!!
What things have you bought, eaten, or participated in -- and who are you blaming it all on, because obviously, it wasn't your fault?!
