chocolate festival nutty bars

this chocolate festival thing has got me frantic. i have been guerilla marketing and posting up the yard signs in the middle of the night in south central joco. hopefully, they'll stay up at least a week. we'll see. on to other things, for some insane reason, i have decided to do a public cooking demonstration, what was i thinking? i hate speaking in public, not to mention, i chose like the craziest freakin' dessert ever, which i stole via the net, as i do with all of my dessert recipes. can i demo that in 30 minutes? again, what the bajeezus was i thinking? only nine days to go. and i can't do this thing again next year, it's exhausting me. sad, but true. more than happy to help when i have the time to help, just can't be in charge of anything next year.

and, for some reason, i scheduled no. 1's tonsillectomy on the wednesday prior, now i'll have no time to prepare or nothin'. crikey!

kleptography

how funny is it to find out that your 3 year old is a klepto? eh? funny. it seems that no. 2 has made the decision to live a life of crime. yes, he has stolen the little baby from a set of matryoshka dolls from school, among counting beans and wooden balls. yep, he's slipping them into his pockets as he sees fit, and i then find them in the laundry. he also has a hankering for acorns, but i hardly consider that theft, sorry squirrels. what to do. i think i have to chat with his teacher and tell her that he must go through a rigorous search and seizure prior to boarding the afternoon bus. perhaps when his teacher lets on to him, he will curtail his behavior. i can't say as i blame the guy. i think i know who's getting what for christmas....

on a lighter note, i finally got pictures of this....
