If men could regard the events of their own lives with more open minds, they would frequently discover that they did not really desire the things they failed to obtain.

Well, my Christmas list just got a lot smaller! I'm happy to be alive, have my family around me and maybe a little chocolate!

Is there more to life than chocolate??
I was just talking to my family last night about chocolate and it appears that we all like it at different times of day. My daughter (who is all grown up) still prefers hers in the morning. As much as I like chocolate... not in the morning. Just can't imagine. I think that any other time of day would work. Actually, I'm pretty sure of it. Another thing that I learned is the fact that days go buy without either my daughter or husband even think of chocolate?? Not me!!

Thoughts and Quotes About Rainy Mornings, Oatmeal Muffins and Dads
It's another rainy morning. Actually, the rain began somewhere around four in the morning I think and it hasn't let up and it's nearly ten a.m. ! The rain is supposed to continue all day today and into tomorrow as well. I'm not sure how that makes me feel. Part of me thinks of rainy days as depressing, but then already I have accomplished so much. I have a muffin mix already to add the liquid ingredients and bake... and I also have a baking powder biscuit mix measured out. Yes, I do everything in two stages.
The longest part is the prep so I like to get that out of the way. On any given day I have at least four different muffin mixes dated and prepared and waiting in the baking cupboard to go whenever someone fancies muffins. With our schedule... we have to have them ready to go. Today it's oatmeal muffins and I might have to add an egg and a little milk. Gee, I hope that I have an egg. Must check so I can email G (dh) to tell him to bring me some home if need be.

"I like to fish this lake during sustained dry periods. When it gets rainy, the lake turns into chocolate. "
Jeff Rowland
I think that I like this one and every time it rains, I will think of all those lakes that turn into chocolate! Love it lol!! Now the fishing part... not much of a fisherman here, but I do remember collecting worms with my dad so that we could go fishing. When you are six, you don't realize that worms are disgusting lol... that came later. When you are six and you are doing things with your dad... it's just plain fun!

Rival CFF4 2-Pound-Capacity Chocolate Fondue Fountain: Kitchen & Dining
Okay, maybe a chocolate fondue fountain is quite the healthiest breakfast, but on those days when you REALLY need a little pampering, a little chocolate isn'st a bad thing. And, you could always dip fruit into the fondue fountain. And they do say that chocolate IS good for you!! Am I right or what lol??
And here are few more chocolate links for good measure. Happy Thursday ;)
