Sitting at home tonight with a great Shiraz and some wonderful chocolate. And I’m thinking to myself, “it doesn’t get any better than this”.
Now, my married friends would be horrified to hear this (or at least they would act horrified, LOL!). Honestly, there are so many times in my life these days when I just don’t give a damn whether I ever get into another relationship ever again. The amount of time and energy it takes to find someone, go through the initial filters, go out on dates, etc…..it makes me tired just thinking about it!
I’ve gone around and around with this in my head so many times that I’ve got dizzy! Maybe I’m just not meeting “quality” guys? Or maybe there’s no one out there who’s worth my time and energy? Maybe there’s something wrong with me?? (no!!!, can’t be that LOL!)
So I’ve decided to devote myself to the art of eating chocolate for the moment. And devouring trashy romance novels.
I remember getting a book years ago for chocoholics like myself. In one chapter there was scientific evidence cited to show that the human brain experienced similar chemical reactions when they “fell in love” and when they ate chocolate. This led the scientists to the conclusion that people eat chocolate as a substitute for love.
However, chocoholics like myself know that the opposite it true – that people fall in love as a substitute for chocolate.
I think that’s all I have to say on that subject. Now, let me get back to the very important business of selecting my next dark chocolate confection!
