Torching all afternoon
Back from Target - I couldn't resist and I bought ya'll more Dove Chocolate Easter Eggs...so, you might get some melty goodness but I'll try to secure the candy in a little ziploc so it doesn't get all over everything...I mean, how could I resist the chocolate? I did buy some Tootsie Rolls when it gets *really* hot here, and I'm sure you'll get those eventually, but when it comes to Dove chocolate, there is no substitute..
Income Taxes are completed and picked up, we get a nice refund this year...it'll help pay off our house taxes that are astronomical...living in Austin is not cheap...and I'll be glad when we pay off this house, but I'm not wanting to move. Brian wants me to turn 65 so we can qualify for the Senior Citizen break...that's only 24 years away...right around the corner! hee...
I'm up e-a-r-l-y this morning...nothing like a bad dream to jarr you awake at 5:30am...but look at all this extra time I have to be productive! On the agenda for today...visit the CPA and pick up our taxes...mail them to the IRS...pick up more candy for my packages (ya'll will have to do w/out chocolate, unless you prefer your packages all melty and gooey)...Target run...and then fire up that new generator and holding tank...
I did get it all configured yesterday, but I realized I was using the wrong generator, so I had to get that straigtened out...one of the units has a switch built in that turns the machine off once the holding tank is filled..and of course that machine was still in the box while I was working with the other machine that doesn't have the switch. But its all straightened out now, and I only need 1 little piece to complete my multi-torch setup...Monday is a trial run w/ some friends so we'll see how all this goes!

You're so funny Donna! Yeah, living in Fresno California the chocolate does get kinda melty, but that's okay, it still tastes good!

i can see ya'll opening packages - "ewww..what's this gooey mess?" just trying to keep ya'll stocked w/ chocolate, but not dripping in it head to toe :)
i'm always open to suggestions - i've considered Werther's candy, Lifesavers, Sweet Tarts - feel free to give me suggestions on what you'd like to receive...or just be surprised! wheee...

Chocolate is good for the soul and makes you smile. That reminds me I should go to Target too to get candy for the kiddos on the street and make Easter baskets. I'm glad too that you don't want to move. Your the best!

Since I've stopped my sugar addiction the only time I indulge is when I get a goodie in a package of yummy beads. Anything is a treat for me and I like the surprise, it's better that way. Now that I think of it...did I eat those already?? Darn!
