Does Hot Chocolate count?

I'm not feeling too great today, as a matter of fact, I think I'm coming down with the same thing Bill has. I was cold this morning, so I decided to have some hot chocolate and toast for breakfast.  I vacilated back and forth between the hot chocolate and my chamomille tea (which I like to drink in the evenings before I go to bed...very relaxing).  Since the chamomille is good to drink to unwind, relax, etc. I thought that mood/feeling may interfere with my drill sergeant tactic I have been needing to use on my 10th graders and their research papers.  I could see myself (after drinking my "calming" chamomille tea) not having the same effect I needed in the classroom.  I know this all seems a bit rambling and nonsensical, but the bottom line was, I drank the hot chocolate, and I'm sticking to it!!

 I'm going to blow my no sugar/candy diet this weekend anyway (it's just a matter of how badly) when Summer and Tyler and kids blow into town.  We're going to celebrate Tyler's, Maggie's and my birthday, and I found a real cool dessert to make.  I found it on the "Open Pantry" link on Ashley's blog.  It's the "Cake Pops."
