Sweet !

When I saw that the theme for this weeks You Capture was sweet, I knew right away what I wanted to capture.

My love of chocolate.

But not just any chocolate..... European Chocolate.

I first fell in love with European chocolate when Sexy Stud started traveling to Europe for work. He had brought me back some and I was hooked and every time he went back I made him promise to bring me some more.

When I was lucky enough to travel with him to Europe, I think, I pretty much ate my weight in chocolate.

After he stopped traveling to Europe I was so sad that I wouldn't be getting my much loved chocolates anymore. But being the amazing internet searcher that I am, I found a company that will ship it straight to my door.

Here's one of those oh so yummy pieces.

Mozarttaler ( or as I call them Mozart Balls lol) from Salzburg, Austria.

You Capture- Week 7

Fun that was the theme for this weeks You Capture.

Fun is such an subjective word. What I find fun may be completely different from what you find fun. So I thought it would be fun to show you a nano fraction of some things I find fun. And to also see just how many times I can use the word fun in one post. LOL


Spending almost an entire week with The Husband was fun. We laughed, talked, had many lunch dates, shared bottles of wine and had several midnight soaks in the hot tub.



Sadly I just said good bye to him and he is now on his way back to Arkansas. Behind him he's transporting something he finds extremely fun. If your a reader of my blog you know how I feel about that, but I won't get into that here. I will ask that you say a little prayer that he and the beast make it there in one piece.



Moving on...

I find cooking fun. Chopping, mixing, stirring, creating. It's all fun to me



The only thing better than creating the meal is eating the fruits of labor.





Followed by eating some kind of chocolate, which is also fun.







While sitting still for hours isn't fun, nor is dealing with the after care. I do find The Husbands & my tattoos a lot of fun. Please excuse the crappy photo of mine, it was taken with my webcam.





But what is really fun is reading comments on my blog. So leave one and I'll love you forever.

Jeans, Jeans, Jeans

Have I told you about my favorite pair of jeans?

Have I told you about how flipping hard it is for me to find jeans that fit?


I haven't well..... then I really must do that now.

You see I'm short on one end..... That means I'm only 5 foot 2 inch.... OK quit the short people jokes I know I'm short , but I was a full INCH taller than my mom so :0P I'm also shall we say fluffy..... that means I wear a size 14. Because of these two factors finding jeans that fit isn't always the easiest thing to do.

If I find ones that fit in the length half of my ass hangs out. While The Husband loves this I hardly doubt that the rest of the world wants to see my ass. On the other hand if I find a pair where half my ass isn't hanging out they are to long in the length. Now I don't know about you, but when your spending $50.00 on a pair of jeans the last thing I really want to do is go spend more money to have half of them cut off. Just doesn't make any sense to me.

Anyway a few months ago I was at the mall buying a baby gift for some close friends of ours. I was having it engraved and they told me it would be about an hour. Since I had an hour to kill I went window shopping. Along the way I walked by Lane Bryant, I hadn't been in there in a long time so I decided to check them out.

I had heard about their Right Fit jeans and how magical they were, but up until that point I had never tried on a pair.

I checked out their tags:

Blue: If your current jeans gape at the back , have to be cinched at the waist - nope not me

Yellow:If your current jeans fit at the waist but are baggy, fit at the hip/thighs but have to be unbuttoned- maybe depends on the jeans

Red: If your current jeans ride down in the back and have pockets that gape when sitting- BINGO! We have a winner.

So I check out their size conversion chart because these run sizes 1, 2, 3, and so on. Yes I know these are fluffy girls sizes 1, 2 & 3 but let a fluffy girl have her ego boost M'kay? !

I grabbed a size 2 thinking that was about the size I needed and then I noticed they also came in Petite. Hello lover come to mama. Up until a year or so ago I thought they only made petite sizes for short shinny as a rail girls but they also make them for us fluffy girls. Did you know that? You didn't ? Well now you do.

I walked into the dressing room with my size 2 petites and tired them on.

Length- perfect

Fit's in the hip and thigh - perfect

Ass- While it wasn't hanging out it looked like I had a load of something in there and it wasn't pretty.

Total buzz kill !

As I quietly take off these magical jeans a thought came to me..... dare I try a size 1 ?!

I head back over to the rack and find the size 1, not having much hope I go back to the dressing room to try them on.

Length- still perfect

Hips and thighs- still perfect

But the ass, what about the ass? I turned around and not only wasn't half my ass showing but the load of what ever was also gone.

At last I found a pair of jeans that fit! I tell ya ladies it was like having an orgasm WHILE eating chocolate !

I walked out of the dressing room and bought not 1, not 2 but 3 pairs of those jeans. Because surely if one pair of these jeans makes me feel like having an orgasm while eating chocolate then 3 would be like having an orgasm while eating chocolate and having a back massage.

So there you have. That's the story of how I found my favorite pair of jeans.

D Cup?

The Valentine's Day gift that the husband sent me just arrived a little while ago. He sent me this out of this world box of chocolates from ones of those little chocolate companies that make their creations daily. It's the kind of chocolate that you only eat one piece a day to make it last forever. But I couldn't help but bust a gut when I opened up the box and saw this...........

















Even my kids got why I was laughing so much.
