Bits & Pieces - The Sequel
Posted by Lynnster on April 10, 2008
(1) Skittles Chocolate Mix - Well, I’m a big fan of Skittles in general (especially the Sour and Tropical), but as many know, I’m not a big fan of chocolate. (It’s “okay”.) So I wasn’t really expecting to like Skittles’ new Chocolate Mix that much, but I sure did expect to like it more than I do. With flavors like S’mores, Vanilla, Chocolate Caramel, Chocolate Pudding, and Brownie Batter, you would just think they’d be better than they are. The Brownie Batter ones make me cough. Real chocolate fans will probably love them though.
(2) Dogs with Little Dreadlocks - Enough said about that, but if it would just (A) stop turning cold or (B) stop raining…
(3) No No No No NO Tornadoes! - Speaking of the above, it’s a gorgeous day out right now and feels REALLY nice outside even though it’s about 100 degrees in my house, and I am so sick of rain. So the news from Channel 2 Weather this morning regarding potential tornado activity here in the west is a bummer, and I don’t deal well with the sirens nowadays. Go away, tornadoes, shoo!
(4) The Beanie Army - Tojo, my cat who terrorizes the rest of the house and lives in the guest bedroom otherwise (but he’s such a sweetie when it’s just me and him), has a new project going too, I noticed. As I’ve mentioned before, since no other animals in the house want to be friends with him, he has made all of my old Beanie Baby and Teenie Beanie cats and dogs that were back in the bedroom his only friends. (As Churlita called him, he’s “resourceful” like that.) Yesterday I noticed he’s got them all lined up, almost in single file, down one entire side of the bed back there. I wonder what this means?
(5) In Hiding - Also, wonder where I put my W-2 and 1099? Hmm.

On Circle Jerk at the Square Dance blog, he makes fun of chocolate Skittles in almost every post. I haven’t had them, but now I’m afraid to try them.

I have a bag of chocolate Skittles now and they’re OK but not as good as I was hoping. I’m still on the prowl for those new Cherry M&Ms.

Sour Skittles? Yes! Chocolate Skittes? Nah. They may as well now create coffee skittles with little bursts of espresso in them. Or would that idea be better suited for Starbursts? Hey! Starbucks…Starbursts…there ya go.

Wait - Cherry M&Ms? Is that chocolate cherry, or cherry cherry?

Wait a sec…chocolate is “okay”? I don’t get that at all! :)
But as a die-hard chocolate lover, the chocolate skittles sound nasty for some reason. Yuck.

I dunno why, but I’ve just never been a big fan of chocolate. Every once in a while I’ll get the jones for a candy bar, but really rarely. When I’m in a snacky mood, I’ll just generally reach for a bag of chips or nuts or something before I’ll ever go for a chocolate bar or anything sweet for that matter. *shrug*
Well, Jolly Ranchers and Sweet Tarts and Ice Breakers and Sour Skittles excepted. Prefer sour sweets to sweet sweets in any case tho.
