WARNING! This Post Contains Talk of...

CHOCOLATE!

Yes, I am enabling you today! As Shakira sings, "...My hips don't lie!"
Let me tell you about a yummy new product that found its way into my home thanks to the nefarious calorie laden schemes of marketeers and my Kroger coupon printer. It is these yummy bite-sized morsels:




I was checking out in the self checkout line and I immediately recieved a coupon for a free sample of the new Dibs product. I let Aaron run over to the frozen foods while I scanned my items. He came back with two choices, Chocolate of cookies and cream middles. I let him choose. As soon as we got home he sat down and ate a few. He said, "You want to try some mom?" "No. Thanks for asking, though."

WELL...about an hour passes and I decide why not try them. They were so YUMMY! Now, I wonder if Shakira would like to try some?!?



::::::::::::::::::::New Music Download::::::::

I just downloaded the song "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts. I actually had never heard the song before and my streaming audio is buggered up for some reason, so I used the Victoria proven formula (well it's proven to be about 50% effective) of looking up the lyrics and banking on the fact that I like a particular person and or groups sound. Here are the lyrics I found posted on azlyrics.com:

"My Wish"

I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,

But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.

But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

This is my wish
I hope you know somebody loves you
May all your dreams stay big


----When I actually heard the song I cried. This is a beautiful and sincere song. I highly recommend this as an uplifting song!


:::::::::::::::::::Tadpole Release Day::::::::::

We started with nine cute little tadpoles and ended with 7. Michael and Rachel released them in the neighbors creek now that they were more frog than tadpole. We also felt that was the best thing because Rachel's fascination with them led to the demise of tad-frog one and tad-frog 2. She was rather devastated, so we just felt like it was safer for her psyche to free the frogs.

We are now left with partial custody of a cocooned tent catepillar. Rachel shares custody with a neighbor down the street. Rachel tried to fill another terrarium with a spider and a worm. They both ended up like tad-frog 1 and tad-frog 2. It's good that Rachel wants to be an author. I think it's safer for everyone involved!


:::::::::::::::::::::International Scrapbook Day:::::::::::::
Is today. My mom gave me some birthday money for my digital hobby, so I am off to check for deals. It is shop or try to figure out how to make the monster slideshow I have created stop crashing the program. Argh!

Have a festive Cinqo de Mayo!

I also LOVE Dibs, and I really like that song by Rascall Flatts. Actually, I haven't met a RF song I don't like. :)
