I. Am. In. Love.

I probably shouldn't post this after my fat girl post, but it's just too true and I have to share in my delight. I volunteer for my sons' school notifying the reading specialist when students have enough read-at-home (RAH) minutes to qualify for the 1,000/5,000/10,000 minute clubs. In thanks for all this easy work, the reading specialist gave me Ghirardelli chocolates for Christmas and these for an end of the year gift:

They are uh. maze. ing. Mmmmmm...mouth so happy. For any dark chocolate lovers, I fully recommend these.

And...

I told the reading specialist that I would continue in my position for the next 7 years that I have a child at that school. I'm such a chocolate whore. It could be worse. I could be a crack whore. (Okay, so that really wasn't a pertinent link, but it made me laugh and a good laugh is always a good thing.)

Maybe you'll have to share with me and I'll be the one getting converted. Eat away those nasty little good for nothing choco's; June 13, 2008 at 12:52 PM
mia said...: My love in life is chocolate. I wish that i could shave with it. So smooth and silky with a refreshing scent...YUM! Just think, you wouldnt even be sticky because it would just wash off, what a delight!
I think i need to send you the book The Chocolate Touch...just so you remember...there can be too much of a good thing....haha; June 13, 2008 at 1:48 PM
Lizzie said...: I have to agree with Maryann about the milk chocolate, my personal thought is that dark chocolate is healthy so why would anyone stuff their face with sugar and chocolate and have it be healthy....
Also if you stand on the corner of 16th and Gateway in the outfit from the previous blog and act like a whore I will give you all the dark chocolate you want!
Remember the Lucy and Ethel episode with all that chocolate?; June 14, 2008 at 8:04 PM
M said...: Liz - buy me that outfit and you are so on!

By the by, I was at Walmart last night and couldn't find these chocolates. (I'm down to just one - yes, I know I just got them on Thursday!) I'm going to try and write the teacher and find out if she can tell me where she got them. If not, I shall be forever searching...searching. I'm sure I'll blog about finding them as it will be the happiest moment of my life. Second to my wedding, of course! And my children (cough). Okay. Maybe just a good moment. (I'm so totally lying - the first statement is true!); June 15, 2008 at 11:34 AM
M said...: Liz and Maryann - milk chocolate tastes Naaasty! blech. I spit on it. Dark chocolate...mmmm. Oh, and did y'all know that the scientific name for chocolate means "food of the Gods?" Whoever named it - so. my. man.; June 15, 2008 at 11:35 AM
