When I walk through the Pike Place Market, I resist the place selling mini cheesecakes, even though the peanut butter version is calling my name. I resist taking a nap on gray afternoons when I should be working. I resist binging season three of "Broadchurch" though I desperately want to.
However, there are some things I can't resist:
Wheat Thins. Ridiculous, right? How can I ignore chocolate in my pantry, which I love by the way, but a box of those salty crackers doesn't stand a chance? I don't buy them because the temptation is too great.
What else is my personal kryptonite? Baby elephants get me every time. Really any baby animal will do it or human babies, for that matter. Adorable videos and pictures are a guaranteed time-waster for me.
The last thing on my list? Water. When I see it, I want to go in it. I particularly can't resist warm, tropical seas, but I have to admit that I even gaze wistfully at cold Puget Sound and wish I could be in its depths.
