An e-mail from a friend, Lolita

(Lolita speaking)

"I feel my determination weakening. I'd done pretty darned well, until NOW. TEMPTATION!! Ohmythatsmells SOOO good. I want to eat Boxa's candle. My coworker, Boxa, lit some kind of blueberry-tart candle & though I've smelled it, I never really paid attention before today -- day 4 of my diet -- I mean healthy lifestyle -- and I want to EAT HER CANDLE RIGHT NOW.

(later)
ok i ate 6 almonds & cut up a nectarine & the half a banana i had left from yesterday and threw in a a few grapes. that'll have to substitute for that delicious candle that i really want to eat. but as soon as Boxa is finished w/ her client i'm going to warn her to NEVER leave that candle unguarded."
