I think I'm going to make that my new saying........Of course, I will always use Meg's "Sweet Fancy Moses" when the situation is dire, but "For the Love of JAM!" is going to be my new pissy phrase.
In addition to the butt-load of Canadian Goodness that came my way from Hillary, I've now been gifted some of her Wedding Jam!!! I've decided that "Wedding Jam" sounds really naughty, so how about I refer to it as Nuptial Condiments. NO. That's worse. How about Stuff to Spread on Toast that was Given as a Favor at a Wedding. Totally not dirty, and actually, quite catchy. I'll refer to it as STSTOTTW...oh nevermind. JAM it is!
I canNOT wait to try them! She sent me Kiwi and Strawberry Rhubarb. They are so pretty that I almost want to keep them sealed and displayed on my counter forever! P.S. Did you notice that I totally wiped the cat hair off my kitchen counter? Nothing but the bestest for a bloggy photo shoot.
Her generosity put me in the mood for another give-away. This one is for 2 jars of JAM! JUST KIDDING!!! It's mine mine mine! BUT, I am willing to part with some....wait for it........
CHOCOLATE
"Noir Satin"Smooth Extra Dark Chocolate
"White Blueberry"White Chocolate with a Fruity Touch of Blueberry
"Chili" Dark Chocolate Infused with Premium Red Chili
The contest will be an easy one to enter. All that you need to do is send me a dollar via PayPal and write me a sonnet.
OR
You can leave a comment with answers to the following questions:
1. Which bar of chocolate do you prefer?
2. What's your favorite thing about me? My beauty or my beauty?
3. What's the most amount of chocolate (or vanilla or other "sweet") you've consumed in one sitting?
I will draw the winner on Monday afternoon, so you have a few days to compose that sonnet.
Good Luck!
Linky-love to the contest is always appreciated :-)
10 Charitable Assessment(s):
I AM SO FAMOUS! Or not. But still. Can I be nitpicky and say that the jam is Stuff to Spread on Toast that was Given as a FavoUr at a Wedding? Just sayin'.
I cannot write a sonnet. I had too much champagne at dinner to write a sonnet. Wow that sounds snotty. Does it sound less snotty if I tell you that I had a hot dog for dinner? That's not a lie.
So I will just say that I would love some chocolate with a fruity touch of blueberry.
Also, I would like to point out the Canadian Postal System clearly kicks your USPS's ass.
also? word verification is not the friend of a drunkard.
The cruelty! Ian has that very same bar of blueberry white chocolate by Frey (it's pretty good, but the cinnamon blood orange from the same company is better), and he has a bar of chili powder dark chocolate too (amazing). And I can't have any, because I'm off sugar until October 5th. Cruelty! Cruelty! Chocolate is my one true love! Oh horror! Oh!
I want the chili one. How about a limerick?
Someone sent OT some jelly
That wanted to be in mah belly
But mah belly is picky
It don't want the sticky
It wants chocolate and a new rhyme for -elly.
Awww, that's awesome Hillary shared some jam with you. Yummy! I want to enter your contest. Pretty please?! Here are the answers to your questions ...
1. First bar, please. And if you're feeling generous, you can throw in the third bar. But, not the second. I think blueberries belong in people's noses, not to be ingested through them mouth. Eiwww.
2. Well, duh. Your beauty. Closely followed by your sense of humor. :-)
3. Ummmmm, well, I cannot reveal exactly how much ice cream I ate. But, let's just say I hit cardboard by the end.
jess loves chocolate. she'd walk at least a block for chocolate. she is still lying in bed and her brain is broken...so no sonnet.
i want the chili chocolate -not the blueberry cuz blueberries are gross.
Oooh, kiwi jam. (That sounds kinda kinky too...)
Okay, white chocolate? Blicchhh...Chili chocolate--My stomach's saying "????!!!!" So by default I'd have to chose the plain dark chocolate. I'm apparently a purist.
My favorite thing about you? It's a tough choice, but I guess I'd have to say it's your beauty, followed closely by your cats...
And the most chocolate consumed was after a particularly painful breakup years ago, which happened the week after Valentine's day, which meant Godiva boxes were on sale at Macy's. Nuff said.
I love weird chocolate. (Did I miss it?)
Strawberry Rhubarb is my favorite jam EVER!
I also totally can't write a sonnet.
1. I'll say White Blueberry b/c it's not one I would buy and it sounds yummy.
2. You are funny and you write really well and your glasses and your smile make me smile. (Wait, is that more than one thing?)
3. The most chocolate? Hmm.... I'm pretty contained when it comes to treats usually. I'll say two chocolate cupcakes (maybe three) is the most in one sitting. Yum...cupcakes.
Hills: You have NO idea! Do you know that I've been answering your fan mail?? Thanks for the "u" reminder. Mustn't drop my u's...Also, the hot dogs totally redeem your snottiness :) Especially since they are of the dirty-water/roller-dog variety. WTH is up with our postal service? It's mental, right? You should have your hands on the beans by now.
Sra: Not even just a bite a day? I'm all for eating well, but I'm determined to make you fall off your healthful wagon. Because I'm an awesome friend :)
Memarie: As far as I'm concerned you're totally winning SOMETHING for that limerick. I'm thinking a box of Lucky Charms :)
Nilsa: I love you for hitting cardboard :) LOVE you! And thank you for the kind words. And for making me picture blueberries coming out of noses.
Jess: OT loves Jess. OT loves blueberries. OT may have to re-think her love of Jess. Nah, Jess main-lines Diet Mtn Dew. OT loves Jess again.
Elizabeth Joy: Hi! (P.S. I'm recommending one of your books for Book Club!) I'm sad to hear that you went through a messy break-up but am relieved that the timing allowed you to enjoy the fruits of discount chocolate. Also, my cats are very pleased that they are someone's "favorites." :)
Sparklie: Only 2 cupcakes??? What are you? A Saint?? I MIGHT be able to stop at 4, but only if I were on a diet. Thank you for such sweet compliments (this TOTALLY helps your chances with the drawing) :) :) But seriously, thank you, muchly!
wait. did i miss it? hm...it is 5pm in turkey, 4pm in france, and morning in the states. i want chocolate. do i need to compose a poem?
le chocolat,
comme je l'adore
on peut dire que
je suis un chocolat whore!
being in france has influenced me...oui oui!
i want the chocolate with red chili if i win. that sounds awesome!
my favorite thing about you is your beauty...seriously great skin and eyes!
unfortunately i can consume large quantities of chocolate in one sitting. i once ate an entire bag of little reeses by myself in one sitting. i felt ill afterwards, but for some reason i couldn't stop myself. i love chocolate...as indicated by my poem!
hee hee!
Natalie: AHH! THAT POEM IS SO GREAT!!!! When you're back in the states, let me know so I can mail you some chocolate if only for that poem!
