“I’m a woman of many moods and today they all want chocolate.”
I was in my local dollar store yesterday and I had a craving for chocolate. I purchase a bag of mint and chocolate thinking they were little chocolates. Content and happy with my chocolate I came home. When I got home I opened the bag, unwrapped one. To my surprise they were not my mint chocolates.
They were chocolate filled mint candies. I want chocolate. But, not just any kind of chocolate. I want mint chocolate and I did not get it yesterday.
You know, it really helps to read the package. I always lecture my children about reading the package and here I go allowing a pretty package to attract my desire. While I was somewhat satisfied with the candy it was not what I wanted. Had I look past the package and read, I may be content.
This sounds like a weird metaphor. I could use this chocolate story when giving advice to my daughter on dating. Let me see! How about, get to know someone on the inside before taking a peek at the outer package. What do you think?
By the way, I still want that chocolate.
If you liked this post, why not buy me a coffee?

Sounds like chocolate deprivation to me! I hope you get your chocolate. It’s important.

I’m alergic to chocolate
But the advice for your daughter is good. I have a feeling her hormones will ignore you tho.

Now all I want is chocolate. Do you get “Galaxy” chocolate in Canada or do Hersheys have the whole market there like Cadbury have most of it here? You need a chunk of galaxy chocolate and before you eat it, take a mouthful of hot coffee. Then the chocolate melts in your mouth. It’s so wrong it is just right!
And now I am off to the canteen to go buy a chocolate bar. Ahhh the joys of working nights!

Book, I did.
Seamus, is there a hidden joke in there?
Drowsey, they have.
Sy, never had a Galaxy bar, so I don’t know.

Esh…you need to have a Galaxy bar!! Send me a PO Box address or something and I will post you one! They rule! Out of Cadbury, Hershey and Galaxy, the other 2 are such a distant second they arent worth thinking about!
