Friday Notes

It's finally here.
It seems like it took an exceptionally long time to get to Friday this week.
Was it just me?

Some random TV trival notes here.

• I love this show.  Last year was season 1. Season 2 starts this coming Monday and I have gotten the DVR all set and ready to go. Here is a link all about the show.  All 3 actors are so great.
• HBO has some upcoming specials that I am also looking forward to.  Bette Midler, Ricky Gervais and Carrie Fisher.  I read Carrie Fishers book, Wishful Drinking.  This special is a one woman show based on this book.  I have read all her books.  She is so smart but she is also so twisted and funny to me.  She sees things a bit different than most, like Gervais. I think that is why I like her. She can make the darkest things so funny. December is cold here where I live so some good TV is always something I look forward to in winter.
• In Treatment, my favorite show is ending this coming week. I wish the seasons for these HBO and Showtime shows would have a longer season.

Remember how I told you that I don't really like when my hubby goes to Costco?
He stopped at Costco on his way home a two weeks ago and came home with things we don't need again.  He just makes me laugh. Honestly if they had a commercial for Costco they should use my husband.  He holds the things up that he bought to show me and he describes them so proudly.  Like this 2 ton bag of potato chips that could feed an entire school.  No one needs that many potato chips.
He then tells me that "Margaret I have saved the best for last for you"
I am assuming this will be some great cheese since this man is a cheese freak.
Or perhaps flowers because he always buys flowers from there.

But no, it's an enormous box of Belgium Chocolate.

Okay I admit I began to drool.
But my goodness this was  a big ass box.
This chocolate was so rich, smooth and decadent and delicious.
All for only $10 he tells me excitedly.
I love good chocolate and that usually means its not American.
American chocolate is not our best export.
This box is filled with milk chocolate and dark chocolate truffles.
These truffles are dusted with cocoa and chocolate shavings.
If you are a chocolate lover these are orgasmic!

A friend stopped by and I offered her some chocolate. (it goes great w/red wine)
She said, "Oh I'll take a milk chocolate because I hate dark chocolate."
I told her she thinks she hates dark chocolate because she is thinking of American dark chocolate which is usually bitter.  "Just try this , I say- if you don't like it spit it out - I won't be upset. But I will be upset if you don't experience this great chocolate!"
So she tried it.  She moaned. Her eyes got as big as saucers.
She asked if she could have a 2nd piece.....dark chocolate.
I didn't count how many she had but it was more than 2.

Okay I admit Rick did a damn fine job this time.
This is all that we have left.

I am amazed we've had it last this long.
But the weekend is coming.

A movie, some red wine and this box maybe just what the doctor ordered.
