I recently tried a, new to me, snack food called Oreo Cakesters. O.M.G. They are a little slice of taste bud heaven. Basically they’re a soft cake version of Oreo cookies. I love making new discoveries like that.

Have a great weekend, everyone.

Since I love me some hot chocolate, the minute I saw this quiz I knew I was going to post it on the blog.

You Are Double Chocolate Hot Chocolate

When you do anything, you do it big. You live large, and you don’t hold back. You either love or hate things with a passion. And since you love hot chocolate, of course you want to double down. You’re the type of person most likely to make your own hot chocolate. Only you can make it as decadent as you like it. And you’re also likely to go for the good stuff - real chocolate. No wimpy cocoa packets for you!

Today’s quotes are about excuses:

Excuses are the nails used to build a house of failure.
~Don Wilder and Bill Rechin

Difficulty is the excuse history never accepts.
~Edward R. Murrow

The person who really wants to do something finds a way; the other person finds an excuse.
~Author Unknown

The subject for today is the new year:

Youth is when you’re allowed to stay up late on New Year’s Eve. Middle age is when you’re forced to.
~Bill Vaughan

New Year’s Day: Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual.
~Mark Twain

We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.
~Edith Lovejoy Pierce

Wishing everyone a healthy & happy holiday season.
