Silly Somethings...

I'll admit that I adore white chocolate. Something about the richness & smoothness just captivates me.

For Christmas Tim got me a cappuchino maker, which I love. Last night he gave me some white chocolate sauce to use in my mochas. Wow....it is good! I have looked every where for it and he finally found some at World Market.

But, the best thing is he also found O'Reilly's White Chocolate Irish Cream. Oh my word! This stuff is sinful...it has to be. It is so good that after a sip I just have to sit there with my eyes closed for a minute. Hubby laughed saying he wished he could still have that affect on me. LOL

You have got to try this stuff! Obviously, it must be drank in moderation because I cannot even imagine how many calories & carbs and in the stuff. But, a small indulgence from time to time is worth it!

Also, I have an even sillier story....

Last year for Valentine's Day, one of my gifts was a Nicholas Sparks book on CD. If you aren't familar with him, he wrote books that became movies such as A Message in a Bottle, A Walk to Remember, and most famously, The Notebook. He is from the NC coast and I just LOVE his books. They are all sappy, usually sad, but always about inspiring love.

So, it was was a surprise Tim bought it on CD because that meant macho man had to listen to it, too.

We went to the beach the weekend after Valentine's and listened to the book all the way down & back home. We BOTH loved it. The book is called, "True Believer" and it is excellent.

So, one of my gifts this year was the sequel, "At First Sight" on CD. We are now seriously considering making a quick trip to the beach next weekend, mainly just so we can listen to the book again. Rates this time of year are really cheap ($35-$60 a night for ocean front). And let's face, we adore fresh seafood.

It just seems really silly to drive several hundred miles in 2 days, mainly to listen to an audio book.

But a little romantic, too, don't you think?

I think "silly" traditions like that are the threads that make a marriage a tapestry.

Don't consider going to the beach-----go. If not the beach, pick a city you've never visited that is about equal distance away (however long it will take to listen to the book) and hit the road.

White choclate--That's what makes stuff like that so special....only once in a while and a little at a time. Yummy.

Trip to the beach--Yep, romantic! Good for you.
