Recovery

I had a scary moment on my way to work this morning. So needless to say, my nerves are jumping so having a little chocolate and coffee. Along with thanking whomever was praying for my safety this am.

Chocolate Fun!

My mom stopped by today at my office to drop off a little treat for Easter.  She is going out of town tomorrow with my Dad to go see my grandmother.  Even though I have been married for sometime, it will be one of the few Easters that we won't be getting together for this holiday.  Mom and I have plans to have lunch when she is back next week.  I have not had this version of Peeps and am looking forward to sharing them with Mr80grit. They are dark chocolate which is my favorite type of chocolate.  Yummy!

How to relax..

This is how I relaxed last night after a long day. Thank you dear friends for your replies to my question.



Valentine's is a special time for me and Mr80grit. We met in January 97 and had started to hang out quite a bit then. He didn't like Valentine's then as his ex had divorced him on the 13th of February the year before. (The judge in Florida didn't allow divorces on the 14th.) So I scheduled the 13th of February off from both of my jobs and let him know that I had the day/night off. So we had our first 'official' date on the 13th of February which was an awesome date with him already arranging for me to get flowers on Valentine's. So instead of my guy hating Valentines it is one of our most favorite times of the year. (i don't think his ex planned it that way). :}

Valentine Candy

Valentine Candy has been a part of Mr80grit's and I relationship since we first dated 12 years ago. Our favorite then and now is Dove Chocolates. However now it is the dark chocolate and when we first dated it was milk chocolate. Sometimes it is the really good local chocolatier's specialties or sometimes it is just hershey kisses.

Today it is a mixed bag of snickers, m&m's and twix. I wish there was some mint patties in it but that is okay. If you can't tell already, we love chocolate. What is your favorite treat?

When Tuesday feels like a Monday

Today felt like a Monday at work. It was one of those early morning meetings that was totally pointless. When are they (the powers that be) realize we don't want to hear all those plateaus about "when a door closes, a window opens....". I am sorry but gag me. Enough is enough, stop trying to make us feel better about losing our jobs. Even though I am excited about the change of jobs, I am sick of everyone else outside of our area trying to make us feel better. Just feed us chocolate and let us do our job....sorry I am ranting. It was just one of those days. Probably again this could be all fixed with some MORE peanut butter and chocolate.

Mr80grit decided I deserved a better dinner than my normal chili ( I am on a very weird kick right now). He has gone to my favorite restaurant. (sorry no web page). For my favorite meal. I took the picture below a year ago when eating there. This restaurant even stocks gluten free beer for when the need arises.



So now it is time to eat chocolate, knit a little while waiting for food.

A handful of Chocolate

Mr80grit solved my chocolate issues yesterday so I was well stocked today for work. It came in very handy! Aren't hubbies the best. I think so!


Now for a little knitting. I cast these on right after finishing Mr80grit's socks on Monday. I told myself I was going to do any knitting for Christmas but I have two dear loved ones that I have never made socks for and I just feel the need to do so this year! They both are worth it!



Can you believe almost all my pictures lately have been taken by my camera on my blackberry? It is so awesome!

Not enough Chocolate..

When you need it most. It usually hits me at work in the afternoon, especially when I forget to pack any good kind in my lunch. SF jello pudding sometimes just doesn't hit the spot. I need just a little piece. I don't carry change at work so I am not tempted to buy a big bar of chocolate as I am trying to eat healthier. I always plan for a little chocolate each day. But sometimes when I am overly stressed by toxic people at work, I need a little more than I have on hand. Like today, I totally left home without some....it was a very long day until I could get home and have one delicious piece(s). I feel much better now, and now I am ready for a healthy dinner. Maybe I will have another piece after dinner.
