A Small Confession of Sorts

I have a confession to make.  These yummy chocolate peppermint patties may be the reason I still frequent the gym.  If you put them in the freezer they are even more amazing!  And while talking to my brother last week I realized just how addicted I am to these little fellers.  I have consumed five bags of these since October 25th.  FIVE BAGS.  Not to mention a few full size Yorks.  You know the ones you can grab at the checkout counter while waiting in line at the grocery store.  Stupid buy three get three free sales.  If you're wondering why I have a specific date, that is my birthday.  Let me spell it out for you.  One bag for my birthday, one bag for Christmas, two bags at the beach (not a good place for me to be- although I ate half in October, the other half at New Years, bag 2 - half for our anniversary and the other half is waiting for me in the freezer still) and of course we cannot forget the most recent Valentine heart shaped Yorks!  And that my dear friends is why I must frequent the gym.

More Chocolate Stuff . . .

I saw this flip calendar at the Chocolate Factory "store" at the beach. I laughed out loud and had to take a picture.

Hope you all have a great Tuesday. I'll be workin' my chocolate off. AGAIN.

Chocolate or Gym. Or Chocolate.

Yesterday went a little something like this.

Gym.
Kids haircuts.
Lunch.
Make coffee.
Eat a cookie. Yum. Eat another cookie.
Throw in some laundry.

Natalie finds one of my empty purses. Luke and Natalie fight over who gets to play with my purse. Luke yells, "NO! That's my PURSE!"

Read to kids. Have an awe...I love being a mom moment.
Nat goes down for nap.
Eat chocolate.
Put Luke down for nap.
Finish my coffee and eat more chocolate.
Shower.
Eat some chips.
Dinner.

Find some Junior Mints it the pantry. Bust open the box. Share ONE each with the kids. Put them in the freezer.

So if you wonder what I'm doing this morning it had better not be rummaging around the freezer for Junior mints. That's for sure. Hopefully not.

Run! Run Far Away!

There is a monster sized bag of M&M's in my kitchen cupboard. A Costco sized bag of M&M's. Oy. This does not bode well for getting rid of my baby belly. I managed to ignore those little chocolate dudes for an entire week. Then, I succumbed to the call of chocolate Monday night. So guess what I'll be doing today. That's right. Running. Running my chocolate arse off. BTW, I didn't buy this bag of M&M's. It was given to me. Why? Because 'lil Luke (and his momma) ♥ chocolate. Chocolate M&M's.

I ♥ Hersheys Chocolate

I may or may not have eaten an entire King size box of whoppers this weekend. Apparently Luke likes whoppers too. And . . . I may have had some hershey chocolate on my smores. And a Human Bean coffee. And two minature chocolate donuts. And a cinnamon roll. I just realized why I'm not loosing any weight. whoops.



PS - I'm still playin' with my signature. It's a little smaller. We'll see how this works. Now I kinda like the larger one. Ha!
