On a completely unrelated note, i found a box of truffles in our pantry and now i can't stop eating them! It's ok though because chocolate is actually quite healthy... Did you know chocolate has nearly 8 times the number of antioxidants than are found in strawberries and 5.5 time the amount in blueberries! A small bar of dark chocolate everyday can help keep your heart and cardiovascular system running well, reduce blood pressure in individuals with high blood pressure, and reduce LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) by up to 10 percent. It also stimulates endorphin production, which gives a feeling of pleasure and it contains serotonin, which acts as an anti-depressant. Don't wash your chocolate down with milk though, it could prevent the antioxidants from being absorbed or used by your body. All the benefits are from dark chocolate. I'm a milk chocolate kind of girl myself, but i don't mind dark chocolate. Not too bad though huh? So go eat some chocolate right now! Do it for your health! ;)
Mmmm! Who needs an apple a day when you can have chocolate! |

The joys of little boys, huh? Leah like to pee when I change her diaper too, but she isn't able to do much damage! :)
I'm with you on the chocolate. Our neighbors gave us a box of trader joe's truffles and I can't stop eating them either.
