Didn’t you know? October 28 is National Chocolate Day, and I haven’t a thing to eat. Too bad I already missed International Chocolate Day (9/13), plain old Chocolate Day (7/7), and two of the four National Chocolate Chip days (5/15 and 8/4). But I can still celebrate plenty of other holidays. National Chocolate-Covered Anything Day [...]

Free sample of 8 gourmet chocolate from Haydee Chocolatier
After finding that, I did a simple google search and turned up some more. Some of these are old and might not work, but they were all worth a try as far as I’m concerned. They all gave me encouraging results like, “Thank you for your request. [...]

I just remembered a tidbit from my childhood. I told my kids this morning and they loved it, so I thought it might be a good idea to store it here in my longterm memory banks blog.
Back when I was 11yo, I went on a babysitting job with my best friend. She was 12 and [...]

No, not me. If you must know, I gained more like 4 pounds over the last 4 days. I know, I know. I’m supposed to be losing weight, not gaining. But the last 10 days have been nothing short of a Food Fest, beginning with the 3 lb. box of See’s Chocolates that my dear, [...]

Try accidentally deleting your church’s entire website. Two weeks before the annual conference/talent show. If your husband is the very understanding type, he just might bring home an unprecedented amount of chocolate to soften the blow. Of course, I still have to finish rebuilding the site.
And I had been joking about giving birth onstage as [...]

I’ve decided to do something presumptuous, though I’ll try to do it purely without presumption. I’m going to start referring to the new baby in the masculine gender. I’ve decided to do this for a number of reasons:
All the girls are constantly referring to the new baby as “he.”
Many of the immediate and [...]

Do you see 2 1/2 years of archives, full to bursting? It’s a site that warms my heart, and it’s all thanks to my Honey who finally made the old database work.
Smart and handsome. I love that guy.

Mom says that it is not cold here; we just think it is cold. I know I kind of believe that it is colder in the “normal” places, but it has to be kind of cold here in some ways and I found one way this morning.
This morning I got up feeling groggy and remembering [...]

I just posted on Frugal Hacks about 2 very different deals, each fabulously frugal and exciting in its own way. One could easily be tied to chocolate, and the other has to do with books. See why it’s so hard to choose a favorite?

My friend Jennifer sent me a reaffirmation that dark chocolate is indeed health food. Now I found this in the latest CBD newsletter. I just might have to get one of these in her honor:I could toast Jennifer each time I down a cup of cocoa mocha (that’s what we call cocoa made [...]

We call this a latte, though I’m sure it’s not at all authentic. Is is good, however, fulfills my psychological need to sip something warm and coffee-ish in the morning, and doesn’t pack the caffeine punch of a full cup of coffee. And it makes me happy. Not surprising since it contains [...]

Deep breath.I quit. Aside from an occasional weak “latte” (1/4 cup of coffee with 3/4 cup of milk, nice and hot) I have almost entirely given up coffee due to atrial flutter or something very much like it. I was very slow to blame the caffeine, but after less than a week without [...]

I filled up the van this afternoon and calculated the gas mileage. Bear with me, because I did all of the following in my head while driving.358 miles divided by 29 gallons = approx. 12 mpg.“12 miles per gallon? That stinks,” thought I.Then I played with the [...]
