Half-Ounce Christmas

Who says Christmas can't come in small packages?

Three of my favorite things come together to make this little nugget of Christmas melt in your mouth.  Ghirardelli Chocolate, Pumpkin Spice and Caramel.  I just sampled a piece and I am in a whole new world of Winter Wonderland.  Not.Even.Kidding.  For reals -- you should try one. Better yet -- go get yourself a bag and let's split it!

Freaking.Amazing!

If You Give a Mom a Reece's Peanut Butter Cup

If you give a mom a Reece's Peanut Butter Cup, she may just ask for some salted "Movie Butter" popcorn to counteract the sweetness.

And if you give a mom some "Movie Butter", salty popcorn, she may just ask for an ice-cold Diet Coke from the can to wash it down.

And if you give a mom an ice-cold Diet Coke from a can, she may just want to sit in a comfy spot for a minute while she partakes of such delight.

And while you let a mom sit and relax for a minute, she may just get out her cell phone and start to catch up on funny texts or emails or blogs.

And while she is texting or catching up on funny emails, she may want a refill on her drink.

And if you give a mom a refill on her drink, she may find the urge to put her feet up.

And if you let a mom put her feet up, she may just ask you for a blanket.

If you give a mom a blanket, she may just ask you to turn out the lights.

If you turn out the lights, she may just suggest you put a movie in.

And if you put in a movie for a mom to watch, she may just fall asleep.

And if a mom falls asleep, she might just wake up an hour or two later ...

...and ask for a snack...


...like a Reece's Peanut Butter cup. ;)

Chocolate

Since this is a PG-rated blog (with an occasional PG-13, mildly bordering on TV-MA...j/k), there are certain things I will refrain from blogging about, but how I wish I could blog about, because this one topic in particular just seems to consume my thoughts ALL.THE.STINKING.TIME.

~PAUSE~
If you are my Father, you may skip the reading of this post ENTIRELY. Thanks.
~RESUME~

That being said, I guess I will have to blog about something else... like, say.... Chocolate? Hmm. Yes, I shall blog about "chocolate."

It has been a LOOOONG time since I have had chocolate. Granted, the last time I had chocolate it wasn't that good... sort of bitter, sort of bland. Basically, your average nasty-crap cheap chocolate.

However, that doesn't mean that I am not aware of how GOOD chocolate can be. I see ads referring to chocolate. I hear things. I've read things. Yes! Chocolate is definitely something I cannot WAIT to have again!

Sometimes I even get worried over my little obsession with chocolate. However, my counselor told me that women in my age group are in their chocolatey prime. So, we just think about and crave chocolate a lot! Ergo, I am NORMAL!!! Yipee!!! I don't know that anyone has called me "normal" in a long time! Tee hee.

Ok, so back to the chocolate... It has already been a few years since last having chocolate. I fear that it may be several more! What will I do? How will I survive? How many nights can I stand to play the piano until 3 am just to keep my mind OFF OF CHOCOLATE???

Oh sure... some say "take a taste here", "have a sample there". But that's just not how I roll. Partaking of chocolate has got to be done in the right place at the right time and with the right person. Conditions have to be perfect. I am not going to settle for dollar-store quality chocolate anymore... Nope. Not me.

I want the REAL DEAL!

Ok... enough said. Hope I didn't offend anyone with all of my talk on chocolate...
Just had to get that one out! :)
