I've tried everything else...

Email from E:

What is your weakness?  Do you eat sweets?  Too much wine?  Skip the gym?  Watch lame TV shows?  Use the f-bomb in front of your kids?  Well, do I have a challenge for you!  (And you can blog about it on your new Simple Life blog). 
Step 1:  Identify your weakness.  Mine is sweets.
Step 2:  Commit to the Weakness Challenge until December 31, 2010 which means that you owe me $1 each time you fall victim to your weakness.  Totals will be tallied weekly and all proceeds will go to the charity of choice. 
Step 3:  Email me when you f@$k up, so I can keep track of what you owe. 
I'll do the same.  Deal? 

H:

So as I was reading your sales pitch, as you were asking what my weakness was, as I went through each one, my internal voice answered, yeah, uh huh, yep, that too...     But if I must pick one that I"d like to work on, I would say my weakness is white flour and non-whole grain breads, plus I would like to include sugar as well.  So I guess I don't have to pick one.

You're on!!! 

E:

On like donkey kong beotch!  And are you kidding me?  You are going to give up white flour, non-whole grain breads, AND sweets?  You crazy. 
If you start to look pasty and too skinny then we'll have to reevaluate the challenge.  So don't turn kooky eating disorder on me ok? 

H:

uh, don't think that will be a prob.there's a bag of mini heath bars in the back a-callin' my name-o.  Yep, that lasted about 2.5.

H:

also, have you met me? My life-long goal has been for people to think I have an eating disorder; and I still can't tip the scales back below one-fitty LBs

E:

24 hours into the challenge and we're both in the hole.  We'll be broke by the end of the year. 
I DID eat some raisins/cranberries but I'm not going count those against me because they have fiber which makes me woo and real sweets can't possibly do that.

H:

I, actually, did not eat ONE Heath bar, or any other piece of candy, for that matter.  I did, however, eat one entire shrimp quesadilla (wrapped in one, very nice, flour tortilla).  So if we're going to count each bite, which I have an issue with, btw, I can't possible give a guess as to how many bites it took to get to the center of my shrimp quesadilla.  So why don't we just tally it by serving.  So I owe 1 crisp dollar bill, no?

Sidenote:  Woo creation and coercion to its inevitable "fruition", in your case, no pun intended, IS a handy bellweather for figuring whether or not something is candy or not. 

p.s. may i post this on my blog?  I am currently the only reader.  Megan says she's a follower, but noone logs in to follow blogs like mine in real life, so I think we can be safe in believing noone will ever see it.

H:

First, I forgot to tell you I would only refer to you as E, or as nothing at all, whichever you prefer.

Second, I just made a peach crisp yesterday, and as I went to dump it down the drain tonight, I tripped and accidentally ate at least 2 servings.  So add $2 to my tally for today.  You're right.  we're gonna be broke.

H:

Ok, start agaaaaaiiiiiiinn...  NOW!

E:

Yes, you may call me E.  Or nothing at all..... hahahahahaha. 

Two SERVINGS?
