stoney321So that's a thing now. Chocolate parties? Like Yankee Candles and Pampered Chef and all of the other stoopid pyramid scheme parties that lure women into spending money on "things they need." SORRY. Grew up with a mother that partook in every single damn pyramid, oh, pardon me, "multi-level marketing" opportunity that came her way. No, we don't need electricity, you buy that starter kit of vitamins for skin. Which we'll end up using because you won't be able to sell it to anyone.
Can't I just buy my chocolate like a normal person? Filled with shame at the checkout, like God intended? LOL.
(One mom at the swim lessons is cozying up to me and I knew from the start we had nothing in common. And the "you should come to my chocolate party!" was the clencher.) Guys, I am so good with being by myself, I do not need to just be with people for the sake of it. Does that make me a bad person? Eh.
I am so glad my sister is coming up this weekend, because I have an excuse to make THESE OH MY GOD. It'll be near 100, so frozen boozy melon = YES PLEASE. Also, I got the Mr. an outdoor sound system so we can crank the tunes to 11 and hear them with crisp clarity, so a good time shall be had, I THEREBY DECREE.
QUERSTSHUN FOR THE MASSES: I know y'all are probably weary of me constantly linking to HDJM (well, come on, I'm proud of it, and how else will people know about it?) so I have a poll under the cut to hear your thoughts on yaoi.
[Poll #1755136]
ION, that thing I posted yesterday about my daughter? She told me this morning how glad she was that I was taking things back. That she thought about it and doesn't think that's really "her style." Have I mentioned how much I love my kid? Because I do. She's a good egg.
Oh, and the correct response to "are you needing me to do that?" is YES. :)

Is it real chocolate or one of those disgusting chocolate fountains that you stick things in and then drip all over the carpet and your hands leaving the thing you dipped bare? *not that I have suffered one of those but I'm just saying face*

It's chocolate products, like boxes of chocolate this, chocolate sauce that, chocolate BBQ sauce, chocolate salad dressing (I'm not joking) and - ugh. No thanks. Not for me.

Date: 2011-06-23 07:09 pm (UTC)The melon looks delicious and I think I'm going to make the gingerbread Belgian ale ice cream this weekend. Dessert+alcohol+freezing is the perfect summer treat. I am just back from walking and I can't believe I am having to take two liters of water along with me I am sweating so much. It would be embarrassing to pass out on somebody's lawn...

(yeah, sorry, I'm just here to fill gaps in my cultural knowledge)
Ew, chocolate parties. Super-duper posh chocolate? I actually don't like chocolate apart from the really cheap stuff, but no-one will ever believe me.

Date: 2011-06-23 07:48 pm (UTC)Google Yankee Candles: they're scented candles people sell at parties. They're... intense. (Blueberry pie scent, for example. Gag.)

3. Your daughter rocks. Did she get outside fashion help while she was at the mall with friends? I'm also very excited she came to the conclusion that it wasn't her style. *love*
4.Backing up to say, my husband sent me that melon recipe link the other day. It look delicious and it's fruit so it's HEALTHY.
5. I like numbers today.

Gah. I know.

Date: 2011-06-24 12:58 am (UTC)The idea of a chocolate party appeals very much to me. Not that trying to sell people crap they don't need bit, just the sitting around eating lots of chocolate bit.
Your kid is pretty awesome. It's great that it turned out that what she needed and what she wanted were the same thing.

I'm also shy so it takes a lot for me to want to be with people. There's just no understanding of that or not enough of it. =/
