Ooooooo!....For Me?!

      Don't you love getting gifts?! Especially gifts wrapped with pretty red silk ribbons?!....What?! O_0 You mean this doesn't happen to you all the time?! LOL Okay.....it doesn't happen to me that often either. But Oh! How wonderful when it does!!
    The reason I got it was because we were invited to a wedding shower dinner by a friend who is getting married very soon. Congrats to you M, by the way. :-) This was the gift that was given to the guests.

        It came in this silver-bow laden green neon bag too! It felt so special! :-)

         Wanna see what was inside?!......Look!

         Look at the pretty roses all over it!!!!!!! :-]

         I love little jewelry boxes!...At least that's what it's going to be to me! I'm going to keep my wedding rings in it!...Speaking of which, those of you who are married, do you take your wedding rings off at night, or do you wear them at all times?
       That's a question that came up recently when talking to some friends. I was surprised to find that most of my girlfriends keep theirs on!! They sleep in them and everything!...Maybe it's not such a surprise to you all, but the idea of having my finger restricted all night long gives me a.....*pulling at the collar on my nightie*...claustrophobic feeling. LOL
     Yes, it's another edition of "TOO MUCH INFORMATION ABOUT THE WUG"!! ^_^ 
You already know it, but I've got issues!! And those issues include not having things wrapped around or pulling at me when I'm TRYING to get some sleep! You wanna know how serious it is? Well....
     ...If it was left up to me, I would be happy to only wear what I came into the world wearing!....You got me?! I don't have to say it, do I?!! ^_^ So, when it comes to sleeping...the pastime I love almost as much as writing poetry, crocheting, and listening to music....I don't want anything around my body, around my neck, around my finger, or...and I know this is going to cement my claim that I have issues....around my hair! I won't even wear a scrunchie (the cloth ponytail holder) to bed!!
     I've tried, at times when we were out of town, staying with relatives. {I didn't want to be caught 'au naturale' as a guest in a relative's unlocked doored bedroom! LOL} But it always ended up with hubby sleeping on the side of the bed nearest the door, and me getting up before the sun came up, so I could get dressed in an appropriate 'AWAKE' manner. LOL
     So, this cute little box...

            ...which was housing some delicious chocolate, is now going to be the place that houses my wedding rings....and maybe a pair of earrings, for fast dressing! LOL

       And, who knows, maybe I will put an occasional chocolate or two in there also! :-) Hmmmm......chocolate! O_0 Now, why did I go and say that?!! 
       Have a good day everybody! :-)


Candy Rhyme

It's not right...I know,
to start your day with a chocolate face;
But the M&Ms with peanuts
gave my dream such a lovely taste.

It got me really thinking
about the candies of my youth,
like "Pixie Sticks" and "Twizzlers",
WOW! I had such a big 'Sweet Tooth'!

I remember in the playground,
trading candy like a stock.
It's a wonder you never hear
of kids going into "candy shock"!

'Hershey's with almonds',
'Kit Kats' and 'Peanut Bars';
Chocolate 'Reese's cup',
'3 Musketeers' and 'Mars'.

'Pay Days', 'Sugar Babies',
'Nestle's Crunch' and 'Heath Bars' too;
'York Peppermint patties',
because hard candies just won't do.

'Snickers', 'Milky Way',
'Butterfinger', Raisinets';
All that chocolate, good for me,
but not good for household pets!

'Twix', 'Reese's Pieces',
'Almond Joy', and Oh Yeah!, 'Mounds';
'Tootsie Rolls' and 'Whoppers'
I could eat them by the pounds!

'Dove Bar', 'Now or Laters',
'Laffy Taffy', 'Zagnut', 'Skor'.
Okay, I'm gonna stop now,
but there's plenty, plenty more!

Now that I'm grown up
I don't eat candy all the time.
Instead, I have sweet dreams of it,
and write a candy rhyme!
