Ok, went to wal-mart this morning at 6:15--before work to stock up on the half price Valentine candy...............spent $37.....ON HALF PRICE CANDY. There is something REALLY wrong with that (tee hee)> I brought some to work, gave some to DH to put out in HIS office, and have lots for home...............just what I need.

Shels ... someone sent me this yesterday. It just about explains it all.
There is nothing more intoxicating, heady, rich or sexy
than.chocolate. (what?? You thought I was going to say Brad Pitt?)
Remember, men are mere mortals, chocolate is eternal.
Chocolate is in a class of by itself and truly, if there were any
justice within the food world, chocolate would have its own food
group. My thighs and I have lobbied hard for this one. We weigh in
heavily pro-chocolate, to be sure.
When I was pregnant with my first child and had naturally devoured
every book on the subject, I had heard tell that commonly loved foods
could turn potentially nauseatingly undesirable when pregnant. In a
strange, love/hate sort of way, I was hoping for an instant distain
for chocolate with both pregnancies and a ticket out of my obsession.
At least then, I would be free of my hopeless addiction. And I could
blame all my weight gain on my pregnancy! However, no such luck and at
this point in my life, rather than continue to fight a losing battle,
I've given in to chocolate and I suggest you do the same. No use
wasting another minute on trying to figure out what it's going to take
to give up chocolate. Believe me-been there/done that. All you will
get for your trouble is a mean hankering for a Kit Kat bar.
Chocolate is truly the food of the gods. It is the panacea for all
things wrong in the world, the stuff that dreams are made of and the
way most women have made it through all thirty-one days of the month,
if you know what I mean.
And don't forget that Valentine's Day is precisely the occasion that
should be celebrated in an over the top, completely indulgent
chocolate fest. Chocolate for breakfast, lunch and dinner with Godiva
in-between . You need to walk around with a perpetual, tell tale ring
around your mouth that let's everyone know that, yes, you are a
full-blown addict. Completely hopeless. A mainliner with no
expectation of full recovery.
So let's go with it, shall we? But before we begin, for those whose
preference is vanilla over chocolate (yes, there are "vanilla" people
out there), let's give those who aren't in the know a little primer on
chocolate. A few rules that will help them cope with the chocoholic in
their lives.
1 To err is human, but if you mess with my chocolate, you're history.
2.Chocolate "flavored" anything is an abomination. Only real chocolate
will suffice.
3.If it's imported, in a gold box and cost a week's salary, we'll
follow you anywhere.
4.National Chocolate Day. Used to be once a month, now anything goes.
Be prepared.
5.Hershey Kisses, human kisses-if you're sensitive, don't ask which
ones we want.
You can buy all the wonderful imported chocolate you want (or drop
not-so subtle hints so your darling will pick up a skip loader full).
The deal is, if you want to really experience chocolate (and isn't
that what Valentine's Day is all about anyway?), you must cook with
it, bake with it and then, eat it non-stop until February 15th. Only
then will you come up for breath and will probably be suffering from a
severe chocolate hangover. Don't come running to me about it-I will be
in my own chocolate induced coma by then and won't be out of the
hospital till Easter.
That's cute, Jules.........oh, and I think I forgot to mention that, yeah, I got the candy for the boys and my dh.........yeah!!!! Really............
