I have a confession to make. 
Until just a few minutes ago, 
I had no idea that this week was American Chocolate Week
or this week 
would have been planned MUCH differently!

...Not that I'm sure 
exactly what that means for whoever came up with it. 

(My guess is that it has something to do with marketing
but I'm sometimes a bit bitchy about this kind of thing.)

Regardless, 

it seems to me a perfect opportunity 

to go learn something about chocolate 

that you didn't know before, 

or try a new kind of chocolate, 

or test out that chocolate recipe 

....or just enjoy some. 

Now, you can celebrate however you want 

but you could:

Cook with Chocolate (and share of course)

Today was busy.

We did laundry

and I did some shopping.

Today was kind of fun.

Hung out with a friend

and got a DQ dipped cone.

Today was one day closer
to my vacation at the cottage

in Port Lambton!

This will be my view from my scrap-booking seat.
{See the second window on the left side? ~ that will be mine}

{See the window above it? ~ that will be my room}

Looks very relaxing eh???

Tomorrow is another busy day.

Part Relay for Life Crop 

and  part packing for vacation.

Good night from John Street.
