Chocolate #AtoZChallenge

...chocolate. My mom says that one of my uncles (a wise man, I'd say) gave me my first taste of chocolate at three weeks old. This was before the whole you-can't-give-babies-anything-fun-tasting-while-they-are-still-infants thing. I'm convinced this is where my chocoholic-ness stems from. From milk chocolate to dark, but please, no peanut butter or minty crap mixed in. Just plain 'ole chocolate will do! Also, chocolate cookies, cake, ice cream, milk shakes brownies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate covered strawberries, cocoa puffs...you get the idea.

What's sweeter than sweet? My daughter as a Hershey kiss!

Are you a chocoholic too? If not, what is your favorite sweet treat?

Celebrate The Small Things -- May 22

It's Friday and I'm Celebrating The Small Things!  The brainchild of Viklit, Celebrate The Small Things is a weekly celebration where some bloggers have decided to post about something worth celebrating...no matter how big or small it is.  I am thrilled to co-host this wonderful bloghop!

Between the on and off rain killing my bones, and my therapist being harder on me, I've had a tough week.  Even so, there is always something to celebrate.

This week I'm celebrating:

• Twix bars...life is always better with chocolate!
• Online shopping.  Since I'm not really up to shopping like most normal people do, I really appreciate shopping from the comfort of my own bed.  This week I received a nail polish collection that I ordered from eBay.  Can't wait to try one on this weekend...mint green or grape purple first???
• Emmie's vet and their staff.  These people are great...they love Emmie and Emmie seems to love everyone who works in their office.  I wish I could bring my kids to them...I like them better than my kids' pediatricians!
• Emmie's yogurt face...think milk moustache...except in reverse... and with yogurt LOL

Emmie's yogurt face...can you see it on her chin?

What are you celebrating?

Celebrate The Small Things -- August 8

It's Friday and I'm Celebrating The Small Things!  Celebrate The Small Things is a weekly celebration where some bloggers have decided to post about something worth celebrating...no matter how big or small it is.

This week I'm celebrating boxed brownie mix.  I've made brownies from scratch before, and although the brownies were delicious, it was a lot of work.  With a boxed brownie mix, all I have to do is add an egg, and some water and oil...and BAM!  Deliciousness!  I love quick and easy...especially when it's combined with chocolate yumminess :)  And a touch of extra chocolate chips made the brownies even better...hey, you can never have too much chocolate!

What are you celebrating?

A Random Act of Kindness

This. 

This is what makes the world a better place.  And no, I'm not talking about the chocolate cupcake...although chocolate cupcakes DO make the world a better place.  I'm talking about...

RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS.

I found this chocolatey treasure at my front door when I got home from acupuncture.  I haven't been feeling well the past couple of days, and may have possibly, kinda sorta mentioned it via social media.  When I saw the gift of love, I figured it was one of my awesome peeps who wanted to put a smile on my face.  And I was right.  And it did.

 

A friend of mine, who has been keeping up with my blog, decided to leave me this deliciousness to cheer me up.  Just because.  Not wanting anything in return.  Just to bring a little cheer to another human being.  She took the time out of her busy life to leave work, go to the store, purchase the yumminess, drive to my house, and leave it at my front door when I wasn't home.  Heaven points galore.  Many blessings to this wonderful woman!

How about that Karma?  I'll be driving my friend to the train station next week...an hour away, early in the morning, in rush hour traffic.  I agreed to do this on Monday...and Wednesday I get awesomeness at my doorstep.  Coincidence?   I think not.

After Gorging Revelations

Funny thing is that I totally ate it before I even knew who left it.   I figured someone left me a message via facebook or email (which they did) and that I'd eat the little piece of heaven first and check later.  Priorities people!  What I realized later on was that someone could very easily poison me with a chocolate cupcake...seriously...I'd be dead before I could even lick my fingers clean!  Snow White is to apples as Katie is to chocolate cupcakes.

Yessss...I even managed to work in a Disney reference...booya!
