Ellen: So You Think You Can Dance!
December 17, 2009
Clearly, I’ve been watching Ellen everyday to see if I’ve won on the 12 Days of Giveaways OR the Ellen/Oprah 12 Day Give-O-Way. Well, I haven’t been a winner yet, unfortunately, but I’m not giving up hope either. I’ve never won anything in my entire life but who’s to say this isn’t going to be the one time I do win? HUH?! Right. I thought so.
Aaaanyways, today Ellen played this awesome video of her dancing with the cast of So You Think You Can Dance. I love it! Makes me want to learn the dance and join in the fun! Here’s the clip:
Meet Wyatt.

HEY Wyatt!! HEY Anna!
Meet Asa’s big brother Wyatt. Cutie Patootie! This little guy is so funny and so smart too! I just love talking with him. He gets all these funny ideas into his head like going to the mall and putting pennies into the pay phone to call the fire department ONLY if the Children’s Museum is on fire. Hilarious! And he LOVES the word sure and uses it in all these different ways… I just love hearing him say it. I sure do. I suuuure do.
Here’s some more pics of us hanging out around Boston.
We sure do have a fun time!
TJ’s: Dark Chocolate Crisps
December 16, 2009
So I ended up going to Trader Joe’s today just like I said I would. I didn’t realize it until I got there, but I haven’t been in SO long! But just like a good friend, the minute I stepped inside it felt like we’d never been apart. Love that feeling. Today I was mostly shopping for the big holiday potluck tomorrow, but I also picked up a few things for myself while I was there. There are so many holiday treats in the store it was making my head spin. How can one possibly try them all?!! Instead of getting another box of the milk chocolate hazelnut delights, I decided to try something else. I spent a good 10 minutes just starting at all the goodies trying to figure out which one I wanted to buy the most. French Truffles, Dark Chocolate After Dinner Mints, Soft Peppermint Puffs, Chocolate Covered Ginger Snaps, Chocolate Covered Mint Joe-Joe’s, I mean seriously the list goes on and on and on….
In the end I settled for… drumroll, please…. the Dark Chocolate Crisps. YUM! After bringing them home and running them through the taste test I have come to the conclusion that they are delicious! They are shapped like a pringle, but are all Belgian chocolate with tiny crispy wafers on the top. Excellent!! They’re the perfect snack if you’re craving a little chocolate, which I often am. They are all natural, very rich (so you don’t have to eat many to feel satisfied) and they come in a milk chocolate variety if that is what you prefer.
Final Grade: A+
