For those of you who've been with me since the beginning--no, Mom, not that beginning, the beginning of my blog--you may remember the post where I promised to try not to blog anymore after eleven o'clock at night. For the most part, I've been good. But tonight I have the "after eleven sillies" and I couldn't make myself stay away. I tried. I really did. But blogger.com called my name louder than the Heath bar in the Wal-mart bag on the counter. Ok, my search for a fitting analogy just woke that Heath bar up and now it's screaming. . .I'll be right back.

I'm back. I couldn't let it wake the whole house, could I? I think I'm going to opt for the Reeses Inside Out that was in the same bag instead. For some reason this concept fascinated me earlier today when I was salivating over the chocolate selection at the checkout counter. The peanut butter's on the outside and the chocolate in the middle. Uh-oh. Not as good as the regular Reeses. The chocolate is too dark. My sister, Sandy, loves dark chocolate. Think she'll mind that it has a bite taken out of it? Yeah, probably. Might as well choke the nasty thing down somehow. :) I'll save her the other cup. Maybe. Yes, I will. Wow. Heath bars don't come in two pieces anymore. It's just one big bar. Hmm. . .it doesn't taste quite as good as it used to. I think I've been on a diet too long. Everything I eat now has that additional flavoring -- guilt. :)

I'll give you three guesses what I just went and got from the refrigerator. Yep. Milk. What's chocolate without it? At least it's organic milk, though. If you've never tried it, check it out in Wal-mart's milk section. It's worth the extra money. It tastes like what you think the milk that Heidi drank up on the mountain must have tasted like. I know. That was goat's milk, wasn't it? Oh, well. This is milk milk, just with no added junk to the cows or their feed.

Since we've thoroughly covered What I'm Eating, we can move on to the infinitely more interesting What I'm Reading -

I ordered One Tuesday Morning and Beyond Tuesday Morning by Karen Kingsbury. They're in one volume. I haven't started them yet, but I hope to tomorrow. Hmm. . . just realized that tomorrow is Tuesday morning. Weird. I also got The Marriage Wish by Dee Henderson from Crossings. (I had 2 books left to fulfill my membership, so now I'm done.) I'll let you know how I like them.

American Christian Fiction Writers just opened a new website, and I'm so excited about the forums in the Members Only section. In honor of one of the forums (Books by ACFW members) I'm going to read at least one book by an ACFW member every month. Not counting books I crit or books by my best friends. Karen is a member, so I'm ahead of my game with this double volume. :)

OH, the chocolate surge of energy just ran out and I'm about to fall asleep on the keyboard. Wouldn't that be embarrassing?

Remember, occasional chocolate is good for the heart. :) I hope you're all having a wonderful week. Be good to those who love you and bear with those who don't. God wants us to love them anyway. I know we can do it!

Goodnight!
