To be upfront:  I like chocolate, but I don’t love chocolate.  Generally speaking, I’d choose a fruit dessert or something vanilla or caramel over chocolate.  I’ll eat it if it’s around, but I’m not one of those people who needs it every day or even every week.

However, I was still kind of hungry after lunch today, and in the mood for something sweet, so I went down to CVS and picked up some dark Lindt chocolate with orange and almond slivers.  It looked kind of interesting.  I ate about half of it, and it was good.

I had forgotten that today is ice cream day.  Once a year, the directors at work hire an ice cream truck and treat everybody to our choice of frozen delights.  Almost everything had chocolate in it, so I ended up with a chocolate-covered ice cream bar.  What am I going to do, turn down a free treat?  I don’t think so.

I have since come to the conclusion that Bisqui loves chocolate.  He/she has been wiggly ever since I had my snacks this afternoon, and this is not normally an active time for him/her.  It reminds me of when Denny and I had the liquid-center chocolate cake last weekend:  kick city.

Now I know what flavor cupcake he/she will get to dive into on his/her first birthday.  Chocolate makes for better pictures anyway.
