If past portends the future, I know, without a doubt, that if I go into a custard shop, I will most likely buy a custard. I don’t need a custard.  Moving forward, I’m making a contract with myself.  Since I know my temptation to want to buy a custard as I enter the custard shop, I will commit to asking for water. I will also commit to being okay with my friend(s) eating custard in front of me. In spite of how tempting it might be to want to join them.  Make a Ulysses Pact with yourself to help with decisions. Sometimes deciding in advance makes all the difference. Custard, iced cream and gelato’s love child, is my siren. Wish me luck ;-)
