Karen’s Opinion

The first thing I saw when I logged into this blog was that an upgrade is available. Yes, WP 2.9.2 is ready to be loaded. It does not strike fear into my well being as it used to before the plugin to do it automatically. I love new inventions that make life easier!

One thing that will never change and of which I am grateful is my love for chocolate. The latest news touts the benefits of dark chocolate. I will be ever grateful for the notion that I am eating healthier whilst downing another piece of Valentine’s Day chocolate. Life is so good.

Join us at Heads or Tails where the theme this week is:

HEADS – “Light”
~OR~
TAILS – “Dark”

As I mentioned on my blog, The Pond, I was involved in a retreat this weekend. It was called The Chocolate Boutique and as the name says, it was all about chocolate. The theme of the retreat was based on Psalms 34:8 which says “Oh taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.”

We learned how good it is to have fun. I, for one, needed that reminder. During the winter it is easy to get downright depressed with all the gray days and cold temperatures. I recommend that you grab a friend and do something fun. I especially recommend some fun that involves chocolate!

On Saturday, I taught a clinic on how to make molded chocolate. I think these ladies had a great time. I didn’t know they were eating the chocolate until I looked at these pictures! I don’t blame them though. It was delicious.

This weekend I am helping our church ladies group put on a program that celebrates love, friendship and Valentine’s day. The program centers around chocolate! We will be tasting chocolate, making candy with chocolate and having conversation about chocolate. It is going to be so much fun.

There are many ways to make your Valentine’s Day special. One of them is to make your spouse feel special. If I were thin and young, I would shock my husband by playing a bit of role play. He might have a heart attack if I put on one of those sexy mini skirts and served him chocolate in bed. LOL It never hurts to put a little spice into your marriage.

What are your plans for Valentine’s Day?
