trips back to my favorite little city, chargrin falls!
a lot less snow and a lot more heat. but i still managed to find some nice little treasures in the darling boutiques. {thanks g-maaa for the seed money!}
chocolate pasta? check.
chocolate martinis? check.
chocolate molten cake? check.
mini chocolate smore bar and campfire? check.
chocolate overload? you bet. and worth it too.
TESS LOST A TOOTH!
a giant molar as a matter a fact.
i tried shamelessly to steal it so i could put it under my pillow, and failed. something about putting a useless tooth under your pillow and getting money still mystifies me. darn it i wanna wake up with cold hard cash under my head!
TOTAL DOMINATION!
dots is one of the worlds greatest games to play when you have time to pass. i remember playing it on the o'charley's kids menu as a kid as i anxiously awaited my chicken fingers and fries. i'd like to say i was griff world champ but my sisters might say otherwise. so imagine my surprise when tess whipped out her itouch {kids these days} and had a dots app! so naturally we dueled. and i destroyed. complete wipeout. and the competitive side of me was overjoyed. people, its the little things in life. {i'll leave out the fact that tess turned seconds later only to annihilate me}

what's all that inside the top of my cup you ask?!! CINNAMON OF COURSE!
beautiful airplane views on the way back.
i love the window seat!
have a stupendously marvelous day!
p.s. sometimes when you're feeling down and out and on the verge of a breakdown you can get the simplest of comments that sort of turn around your whole day around. and with that i'd like to say holly and becca, me oh my, thanks for making me smile! {as it turns out they both have magnificent little blogs that i love!} on a totally unrelated note, how great can the blog world be!

ReplyDelete!!! I'm sorry I'm just commenting now (I was away all weekend!), but I'm SO glad that I make you smile! That just brought a huge smile to my face. I was just laughing at everything you were writing in this entry (you are seriously hilarious, haha!) and then I got to the last paragraph and I just got this huuuuge grin on my face! You're awesome. :) The blog world seriously rocks, haha.
ReplyDeleteCan I say how jealous I am that you got to go to the chocolate bar?! I just checked out the menu and it looks AMAZINGGGGGGG! Chocolate pasta?! I think I may have to go to Ohio just to check this place out! I totally want to try the chocolate bar baguette! Mmm! Well, okay, I want to try EVERYTHING! Haha.
Ahh I remember losing my teeth! Or when one was really loose, so I tried tying a piece of tooth floss around it and tying it to a door knob. I think I might have learned that trick from Full House? Haha!
I have never played the game Dots! I'm going to google it after this. And you totally have got me craving Starbucks now (and chocolate, ha!)
Hahahhaa so I just googled dots, and I started clicking without reading the rules, and I lost sooooo bad!
ReplyDeleteamaaaazing photo out the window of the plane! glad you had fun in ohio... i'm heading that way on thursday.
ReplyDeleteWait, what?! There's an entire restaurant dedicated to chocolate? Amazing.
