Chocolate Migraine

When will I ever learn? Chocolate - in mass quantity - gives me migraines. I haven't quite figured out the formula, but I'm thinking it's dark chocolate that really pushes my buttons.

After dinner last night, we set out to find some dessert because we were all starving after our tiny serving of pizza at California Pizza Kitchen. Colin spotted a candy store and we merrily filled up our bags with all sorts of treats. $15 later (yes, $15 for candy and two drinks) we set off for The Wrestler.

When my gummy bears didn't hit the spot, I started munching on Sid's dark chocolate covered almonds. 12 hours later, I awoke with - you guessed it - a migraine. The kind that paralyzes you in bed, makes you want to barf, and even Advil can't cure.
Stupid chocolate.
