The post A Valentine’s Day Quiz appeared first on OUPblog.
Danielle is wicked. Not in the pointy-black-hat sense, exactly, but she’s the type of girl that makes people say, “Today’s youth is going to Hell in a hand-basket.”
Old people, that is, like the blind woman on the bus Danielle won’t give up her prime seat for, or Mrs. Witt, the Driftwood Manor Convalescent Home resident that Danielle is supposed to visit as part of her required community service. Instead, Danielle locks Mrs. Witt’s door, puts obnoxious shows on her TV, and goes through her box of chocolates, biting into a coconut-covered nugget, then spitting the distasteful piece out, and then [cementing] the piece she’d spit out back in place and [returning] the chocolate to its compartment.
See? Despicable.
And you haven’t even heard half of what Danielle and her friends have done. It’ll make you want to knock her teeth out.
But you may not have to; there’s an ethereally beautiful new girl in town with justice on her mind who just might give Danielle and her crew a taste of their own medicine…
What more can I say? Those days of being able to eat anything you want are history baby!
Happy Weekend!!!
I'm using one of my older collages just in case I don't have time to paint something new this weekend. Artists who participated in my last show are filing through this weekend to pick up their work. Don't they know I have to get my "IF" done? Actually, I'm so grateful for their participation!
But ladies...what's up with everything ending up in our buttocks area after we reach a certain age? Would someone please invent calorie-free wine and chocolates?
A-ha-ha-ha! "Ain't" it the truth!
(Of course, it has been said that dark chocolate - in moderation - is healthy!)
Safe driving this weekend..... and I hope the rain reaches you.....
Love to you, Brian, "SH" and Bliss!
♥ Robin ♥
So true....sadly!!!! Have a great weekend!
Ha ha! That is so funny. I remember when I could eat twinkies all the time and McDonalds without getting seriously ill.
YUM! Doesn't get any better than a box of chocolates, especially when they are Godiva. :)
You speak the truth. The wistful expression on her face fits your sentiment!
I love the sentiment behind this. We are all at "that" time in life.
Oh yes......
Chocolate filled with caramel.......
Well it goes straight on my tummy.....instead of my butt.
But sometimes it is worth sinning ;)
Felix had much fun with his e card. He laughed out loud!
Take care dear!!!
♥♥♥
love from us!
I must have a taste of chocolate a day no matter what. Today, I bought myself a little locally made loaf of lemon/blueberry bread with frosting on top. Dessert is actually my favorite part of a pot luck meal to make.
Hahaha I just joined the club Lolo,gained 8 kilo in 1 month ,but what the hekkk...
Being happy and so what I'm not a model anymore ;))
Poor Emma btw beaudor loves her squirrel,he found a real one in the woods but that one was toooo fast.

Your posts are my dessert...(along with a bit of chocolate thrown in for good measure! LOL :)...)
I had a bar of Hershey's chocolate this afternoon ... now I'm afraid to look behind me! :O
I am with Marianne!You have to sin a little and it goes to my tummy too, never my butt which is flat and skinny :-). I think all things in moderation, I hear that is how the Frech stay so thin :-).
Dark chocolate is healthy!
Love you.xoxo
You made me laugh out loud!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, those were the daysssssssssssssssssssssss.
OH SO not fair! And it wasn't until after i turned 40 that i finally had an appreciation for chocolate and desserts! Right when they started to love me back.
Have a great weekend Lolo, i hope you'll be able to smell the sea on the breeze...
xoxo
lori
Heh heh --I enjoyed this. I still like to eat my chocolate, I just never look behind me.
mmmm...I gotta have my dark chocolate slice at least once in awhile! At my age, the only person who cares what my butt looks like has one as well, haha!
Well, actually . . . no, chocolate has ALWAYS gone to my butt. Doesn't keep me from eating it though! Great collage.
I think it always went right there, alas! Cute illo though!
I have an equal opportunity body, it distributes chocolate to my hips, my butt, my belly - doesn't deposit it all in one place just all OVER the place. Yuck.
No kidding. Which is why I didn't have a fudge sample yesterday. Fudge used to be my end of the rainbow. Now it just gives me cankers and a spreading rump.
Who doesn't like chocolate?? Fun piece for dessert!
