My Favorite Thing - A Guest Post by Patrice!
I am very excited that our next guest offered to do a post this week. Patrice started a blog, Take a Walk in my Shoes Before You Judge Me, a pretty long time ago. She's starting to get back into now and am glad this guest post spurred her on! She has some really great things to say. Hopefully nothing about young me as we've been friends since high school! So leave some encouragement for her to carry on in this wonderful blogging world!
When Mandy asked if anyone would be willing to write a post for her
blog while she was on vacation, I decided it would be something fun to
do. I thought for awhile about what I could write about. I don't have
kids, I'm not married and I am single. So that rules out writing about
kids, husbands or boyfriends. I thought about telling you stories
about some of the crazy men I have gone out with, but I think they
would be better if you knew more about me.
So I thought some more about what I could write about. I finally came
up with the PERFECT topic. I decided to talk about one of my favorite
things in the world. Something that I could never live without.
Something that I turn to no matter what mood I am in. Something that
makes me SO HAPPY.
Chocolate.
I love chocolate. I love the way it smells when you open the wrapper.
I love the way it melts in your mouth when you take a bite out of it.
I love how when I am in a bad mood I can get a piece of chocolate and
for the couple of minutes it takes me to eat the chocolate, everything
is ok.
There is one thing that I don't like about chocolate. I don't like
that when I eat the chocolate, I know that it is going to go directly
to my stomach. But I forgive the chocolate for what it does to me. I
think the pros out way the cons.
This weekend I went to heaven. I went to Hershey Park. The world of
chocolate. I have to admit the park itself wasn't all that exciting.
The lines were long and took forever to move. It was fun to walk
around and see all that the park has to offer, but I didn't enjoy the
long lines. But Hershey's Chocolate World was fabulous!
There I got to create my own chocolate bar. If you were wondering,
mine was milk chocolate with raspberry, cookie dough and chocolate
chips in it. Oh and sprinkles on top! We took a tour of how Hershey's
make their chocolate. I didn't realize how much work it was to make
chocolate bars! And then we went to the "store". They had clothing,
candles (that smelt like chocolate), chap stick (that also spelt like
different candies), magnets and much more. Then we moved on to the
chocolate section. There you could buy any candy that Hershey makes.
They had HUGE boxes of chocolate!! They even had a 5 pound bar of
chocolate. It took all that I had to not buy it. But I did buy a 1
pound bar of chocolate. How could I not - it was only $5! It was a
deal!
I did eat a lot of chocolate that day. But I felt as if I had too. I
was in Hershey PA after all!! For me, Hershey could the happiest place
on earth! Well it might be a tie with the shoe department... but that
is another blog for another day.
I found this quote on reasons to eat chocolate and I thought I would
share it. Incase you needed more reasons why it is TOTALLY ok to eat
chocolate whenever you want.
Reasons to Each Chocolate
Behind every successful woman is a substantial amount of chocolate. If
it's not chocolate, it's not breakfast. The calories of chocolate are
reduced to zero if NO one sees you eat it. Chocolate can't solve all
your problems, but it sure makes you feel better about them. The taste
of rice cakes significantly improves when dipped in rich, dark,
chocolate. Forget about love ... it's a lot more fun to fall in
chocolate. Friends are the chocolate chips of life. I believe in life,
liberty and the pursuit of really good chocolate. No one's last words
were ever "I'd wish I'd eaten less CHOCOLATE". And now they say
chocolate is good for us. So there you go.. it's a green light, a
legitimate excuse... permission from God to eat all the chocolate you
want.
