I Like It A Lot


Well... Insomnia is showing her face again, what a slut.  Being energetic for the kids, walking up or down hills which ever way you go, quit caffeine weeks ago, and still find myself awake in the 4  AM, WHY?  Not that I don't enjoy the wee hours but the mornings become even more special.  Well, this morning I finally found the catalyst.... seeing all the chocolate wrappers in my trash can and it came to me....DARKNESS... Dark Chocolate... it tingles my brain. I love it so much and I have been trying all the swiss brands. I go to the store to buy food and end up leaving with only chocolate. What's a girl to do? I feel insatiable. Milk Chocolate, can't even compare, its gross almost. I must be becoming an adult, only adults like dark chocolate.
     The other day we went to the Cailler chocolate factory. Mmmm.... we got to try one of the actually beans... now I do dark with nibs. At the end of the tour you can try all the chocolate you want. The only rule is that you can't take any with you.  We told the kids they could only have 4 pieces. They were very respectful and mature....but the staff went nuts.  I don't know what came over us...must have been the cacao.
Want some?



P.S. I don't think I'm ready to quit!

Dark Chocolate---GROSS! Well, I guess I really am still the child because I can only eat milk chocolate. I am surprised to hear you haven't started on the Dark Chocolate Hot Chocolate yet! I am sure you will be a fan soon. Hey, I think there is caffeine in chocolate too--especially dark. Glad to hear you are expanding your taste buds as well as every place you get to see. Enjoy! Love ya

Don't worry Dear we will sign you up for CA (Chocoholics Anonymous). I will be your sponsor. Or you could pray for self control and get an allergy!!! Not what I expected either. Oooooh the dark hot chocolate is to die for. Are the Swiss in mourning because Federer lost today? I am... What an Amazing Match..
