Sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday. I've discovered another organic smiley - choc bar that I'm very impressed with...& it's an American bar, so it might be easier for you to find them(made in Colorado) - I'd never seen this brand before. It's called Chocolove( http://www.chocolove.com )& the bars have a smiley - lovepoem printed inside the wrapper. I had the 70% Strong Dark bar, which is the only type the store had.

But I notice that they also make a 33% toffee in milk smiley - choc, a 55% dark cherry almond and a 55% dark raspberry, among others! I may e-mail them since you can write to ask that they supply your area. If these were here they night distribute them in Canada, so e-mailing can't hurt.

Butsmiley - hug see you later!

Well. I do have one X-mas( you don't mind me saying that, do you? If so, that's fine. I don't really care what you call it, it means the same thing.) present ready. It's more of a joke, though.

I had a turtle brownie today. It was good.

Hey! I have these chocolate-covered coffee beans, and they're really good.

smiley - hugSee you later.

I think for X-mas this year I'll get all my friends some really cool lamps. You know, the kind with colored glass and the ones that are swively. I like those, and they need lamps(just got an addition on their house, or rather, presently getting one.)

Zucchini bread is good. Too bad it wasn't fresh, though. I'm sorry.

I spilled nearly all of my smiley - choc beans today. I picked them up, though.smiley - winkeye

I jammed my finger really badly yesterday, it's really swollen and it hurts a lot.

See yousmiley - hug

smiley - groanI've done that to different fingers at different times & that's a really uncomfortable nuisance! It hurts when you bump it & suddenly you never realized how often/much you bump it! Except that normally you don't notice bacause the finger isn't hurt/sore.smiley - erm

I think lamps are a great idea & those sound really nice. And yea with the addition they could use a lamp!

Yeah fresh smiley - choczucchini cake is So nice & moist! Either this recipe used less zucchini, the muffins were baked a bit longer than they needed to be or they were 2 or 3 days old!smiley - sadface The bottom part of the muffin-the 'cup' part was a bit moister but not all that much.

Yeahsmiley - hugsee you!

With the lamps, I need a bit of help. What color lamps(I want to get three)would go with: a peachy pink(more peach than pink), light ice blue, and an orange juice color? All separately. I'm thinking maybe orange for the peach, foggy green for the blue, and a yellow for the orange juice. Just my opinion. Maybe a tan or brown for the orange.

Ah! Yes, and the worst part was that every time I moved it it hurt! You never realize how much you move your fingers until you can't move them! Luckily my finger was greatly healed over the weekend and is only slightly bruised now. I can move it just about any way I want to.smiley - smiley

No smiley - choc for me todaysmiley - cry
smiley - hugSee you

Ah smiley - smileyglad the finger's better!

You've got good taste! I'd say orange possibly brown(as contrast)for the peach, definitely the foggy green for the blue & yellow possibly tan for the orange juice.

smiley - ermNo smiley - choc?

Yes! All the swelling and bruising has gone away now. You really can't tell the difference! The best part is, though, that I can't either.

Thank you! I'm thinking a navy-ish for the orange. I don't know. I'll see what I can get.

Today I had some really good fudge. Now, I don't like the word 'fudge', but I do like a spot of the noun it indicates now and then.

Hope you are well smiley - hug See you!

Hmm yes the navy-ish might be a nice contrast with the orange.

I've always thought blue and orange go quite well together.

Not much is going on here. I know this because I tried to think of something interesting to tell you and it didn't work.


...Except for the fact that I told someone today about a strange recurring dream I had that I had never told anyone before. They said it was anxiety related, and it wouldn't surprise me if that was true.

smiley - hug I shall speak to you later + remember I'm not able to come in on weekends anymore!(I apologize about this, but I just don't find time on weekends.)smiley - smiley

I am so sorry! First, my computer went haywire, then it wouldn't turn on, and then the internet was so slow I didn't even bother. But I'm back now!(Finally)

Well, I'm preparing for the annual toy drive, as well as just Christmas shopping. It's very difficult, but I do have a couple of presents dealt with.

How are you? Had any good smiley - choc recently?

smiley - hugI'll talk to you later!

Hey that's ok, I've found that if you have/use a computer chances are you'll have problems of one kind or another at some point! You know, somewhere down the road. Now I know what businesses mean when they say "sorry, our computers are down". I almost blurt out something like 'yours' Too! I can't seem to do anything with mine right now...smiley - bleep...smiley - bleep!'smiley - laugh Or something like that.smiley - smiley

Right that time of year again, I'd best get on the ball & start buying a thing or two. As opposed to the theoretical/'windowshopping' approach. Saying to myself 'oh that'd be perfect for...' or whatever. Gotta watch what kind of smiley - choc I buy - it might not survive until Dec. 25th, or even the 24th!smiley - winkeye And on that topic...one of the major dept. stores brought in a shipment of Swiss Pralines! smiley - drool I got(& have almost finished)a small box of individually wrapped dark smiley - choc ones with a dark cream center. They have a mocha flavor, but it's milk smiley - choc...still, it Might be worth a try.smiley - winkeye

Oksmiley - hugwelcome back & talk to you later!

At least most problems can be fixed..... I'm back regularly on my computer now. I'd hate not being able to get on h2g2.

Swiss smiley - choc pralines.... You're lucky.

Actually, I have most of my shopping done. I couldn't find any lamps, but I found something great for my neighbors. They're gold plaques with their names on them. I've got that... I bought a CD for one person, cookies galore for most of my people...I like to take the easy way out. I only have three presents to get. That said, I have a buttload of cards that need to go out. I suppose I'll just use some stationary, though.

Sorry for the long post.smiley - hugYup. Bye now.

Better safe than sorry, I guess. I'm looking forward to X-mas. Not only will I visit NYC for the first time I will visit my sister. I haven't seen my sister since last year. I usually see her about once or maybe twice a year. Oh, the curses of distant family.

Umm, from tomorrow to Monday I won't be able to get on. Thanksgiving stuff. Just to let you know.

I had some good coffee ice cream today, but no smiley - choc. I did once have the best smiley - choc ice cream ever recently though. It was Haagen-Dazs Mayan Chocolate. Ohh, it was good. Had a bit of cinnomin. It was perfect.

smiley - hug Talk to you Monday!
