I have a craving!

Have you ever had a craving for something but you couldn't satisfy it because what you want is no longer made or carried by a store near you? Well, I have been having this problem and it's my husband's fault. A few weeks ago, we were talking about foods we used to eat all the time. He mentioned Zero candy bars. I love those! My husband and I ate them all the time when we were dating. The filling is a combination of caramel, peanut and almond nougat. They are covered in a white fudge. I think the white fudge is what makes them really unique. The problem is I cannot find them anywhere around here. I have looked and looked. It has been driving me crazy. Well, the problem has been solved. I found them a few minutes ago on the Internet. I am so excited!

I found them here at bulk candy. This site will really make you hungry and will probably bring back a lot of memories. It actually made my heart beat fast. Do I have a problem? LOL

There is so much to choose from. If you like candy bars, they have it. If you like chocolate, it's there. If you like rock candy, it's just a click away. Rock Candy What about hard candy? Sure, they have it! Hard Candy

I'm such a big kid at heart. I still love eating the things that I did as a child and a teen. I'm not sure if I will ever grow up. What about you? Is there a favorite candy that you had as a child? Are you still able to find it? If not, check out this site and maybe you will be lucky like me and find something that you have been craving.

Oh and by the way, I'm telling my husband to order me some Zero bars for my birthday. LOL

Monday, Monday

Sorry I haven't been around for a few days. Mama has been busy with work and I haven't been able to get on the computer. She said we have been nominated for a few awards and we need to pick those up and post them. Mama hasn't been feeling the best lately, but thinks she is on the mend. I hope so. She is not much fun when she is not feeling well. Shhhh... don't tell her, but she gets a little cranky when she isn't feeling well.

Mama took Scout to a meet and greet yesterday. She left me behind with Daddy. She tricked me. I was in the house with her getting a treat and Daddy put Scout in the car. I saw Scout hanging out the car window. I think she was sticking her tongue out at me. Mama did bring me home a treat, but I would have rather have gone to town.

Jack,

TGIF!

Scout is still using MY couch. Just look at her! She thinks she is something now.



Mama walked into the living room a few minutes ago and saw two feet sticking up in the air. Yep, it is Scout again on the couch and not me.



At least I have the big bed to myself while she is snoozing on the couch. :::sigh:::

Your friend,
Jack

The Weatherman Lied!



The weatherman lied to us last night. Mama and I watched the weather together and he said the rain and storms would hold off until 3 a.m. I went outside for my last trip before bedtime and it was pouring. I was not happy. Then, at 11 p.m., we were all snoring away and a big thunder bolt shook our house. Mama said it felt like it knocked the house off the foundation. She was exaggerating, but it really scared me. I jumped into bed with Mama and Daddy. I am not allowed in their bed at night time, but I was shaking so hard, that Mama said I could stay.

This weatherman is known for saying "the weather did just what I said it would do" when it doesn't. Does he think we don't pay attention to him or something? I'm not sure why we watch him.

Daddy is on a business trip today. I have to be the man of the house tonight. I hope the thunder booms stay away from us so that I can protect Mama better.

Grandma is home from the hospital. She is doing fine. She has a new hip now. Mama said they gave her new knees several years ago. My Grandma is like the bionic woman. LOL I hope she doesn't get mad at me for saying that. I love my grandma.

Scout is still getting up on the couch. She does it every day now. I have no place that is my own anymore. :-(

Happy Wednesday!

Home Again - Part 3

 Well, we just realized that we didn't finish telling you about the rest of our trip home.  I don't know if we even remember the res...
