It’s a party and I’ll eat chocolate if I want to . . . .

Did you know today is Chocolate Day?

We decided to party it up a little bit. We hung up some paper lanterns from my vow renewal three years ago, found a tablecloth {that doesn’t fit my table, but who cares}, threw some stale, colored marshmallows into some vases, sprinkled jellybeans from Easter and Hershey kisses from Christmas on the table and whipped up some instant Jell-O chocolate pudding.

It was posh I tell ya.

We even invited some friends. Although, apparently one certain teddy bear didn’t get the memo on dress code. He showed up in camo boxers and a viking helmet.

Hey! I wonder if I could get hubby to the table like that. *snort*

Joking. Only joking.

Hypothetically, do you know where I could find a viking helmet?

Joking.

So, what are you making for Chocolate Day?

    That is so cute!!! I must tell you my new favorite chocolate treat…mu best friend is British so she thinks American chocolate is rubbish…there is this one candy called Maltese’s (she calls them Old Geezers..ha!) Anyway, some days if you’re really lucky you can find them in the British section at Kroger…can you believe they have one? Some days I swing by Kroger just to see if they have Old Geezers…you MUST try them. And if you can’t find them, let me know and I’ll pick up an extra bag and ship it to you..TDF! Happy Chocolate day…maybe I’ll just watch Willa Wonka (the original) for the 300th time to celebrate! You stole fizzy lifting drinks! The walls now have to be washed and sterilized, you get nothing-GOOD DAY SIR! Excuse the ramblings, this Texas heat is going to my head.

    No, I didn’t know it was chocolate day, so I just ate a chocolate chip cookie in honor of the occasion. Thanks for giving me a good excuse. :)

    I love the little cups for the pudding.

    Oh good gravy. Do not be this cool when you come to my house. My children will never forgive me when they see how not-cool I am.

    This is spectacular.
