8 P.M.
Sit down with stitching. Realize with alarm that not all cushioning underneath you is attached to chair. Notice small stain from chocolate cake yesterday. Realize that you had remembered to wash hands, but had neglected to brush crumbs from shirt. Resolve to do much better with eating habits and focus more on stitching.
8:45 P.M.
Realize that floss you are using resembles dark chocolate. Remember dark chocolate ice cream in freezer. Begin to rise. Remember stain on previous project from same ice cream, not to mention non-chair related padding. Sit back down and resume stitching.
9:30 P.M.
Contemplate making chocolate chip cookies. As a snack. For the children. Remember that all the children are either married or in college, the dog doesn't eat cookies, and your husband made a fat joke earlier and doesn't deserve chocolate chip cookies. Go back to stitching.
9:45 P.M.
Have a sudden craving for cheese. Remember new bag of Cheetos in kitchen. Begin to rise. Remember Cheeto related accident involving project that is now clogging landfill. Sit back down and resume stitching.
10:15 P.M.
Mouth becomes dry. Contemplate bottle of water without enthusiasm. Would much rather have mocha latte. Remember knocking over mocha latte last week resulting in mocha "dyed" fabric. Reach for water bottle. Take long tasteless drink. Resume stitching.
11:00 P.M.
Look at clock. Realize that it is time for bed. Arise with sense of satisfaction for progress on project and strength of willpower. Remember box of truffles in nightstand. Remember extra padding. Sigh deeply. Sit back down and resume stitching.
Spend next hour contemplating the sense of unfairness that although stitching exercises your brain, it does nothing for your thighs.
Hope you enjoy!
There's nothing better than a good friend, except a good friend with CHOCOLATE! 
oh so true
