But I&#8217;m too tired and my brain is too numb to blog about that.<\/p>\n<p>When I was at the store last weekend, doing our weekly grocery shopping, I was hungry. There was a huge bin of Pop Tarts on sale. I got some. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;d purchased Pop Tarts since college, or if I have, I haven&#8217;t bought them in a long time. When I brought home those cherry Pop Tarts, I tried to sneak and eat some, but my four-year-old son caught me. He said &#8220;Mommy, what are you eating? What are those things with frosting on them?&#8221; I reluctantly gave him a bite and he was hooked. He said, &#8220;I want some of those things with frosting on them.&#8221; So, I popped some in the toaster for him too. I told my hubby about the conversation with our son and he said, &#8220;We have Pop Tarts? I want some!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We ate the whole box in less than a day. I even went to the store later on in the week to get more. It&#8217;s funny how you forget how much you enjoy something. When I pop those things into the toaster (on a low setting) and then they pop up nice and warm&#8230;they&#8217;re so good! That frosting and that sweet fruity (or chocolatey) filling&#8230;I&#8217;d forgotten how much I used to enjoy these things! I&#8217;ve rediscovered a food I used to love during my childhood and college years!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/ceceliadowdy.com\">~Cecelia Dowdy~<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was going to blog about things I did during my childhood; that should have given me a clue that I&#8217;m a writer.
