    Ok, true confession time. A long time ago, I was dating this guy. We had went wine tasting for the weekend and stopped by a chocolate store. I got truffles and all sorts of yummy things. We also stopped by a bookstore and I got a book. He had to go to work the next day so he stayed at my house. All night I thought of the truffles and book. Out of decorum, I hadn't ripped into any of it yet. He left my house at 4am monday morning (finally!) and I pretended like I was asleep. The minute he left, I grabbed the chocolate, the book, and proceeded to eat chocolate and read in bed.

    He came back in because he forgot something

    I ducked under the covers and feigned sleep again. He leaned over to kiss me good night and said "oh my god, you've been in the chocolate!" I had to acknowledge at that point that I wasn't really asleep. He also found the book under the covers.

    I appreciate age though. Now I do that stuff in front of DH and I really don't care but back then I was sooooo embarrassed

    I don't hide my chocolate. I eat it.

    And those 85% cacao Lindt bars are FABULOUS! I never found anything better until I ran into (over, and through) Theo chocolate. http://www.theochocolate.com/

    sigh.

    (and Theo just *happens* to be across the street from a great steel bike shop. Free Range Cycles. Talk about two addictions in one spot!)

    Great story.
    hey, at least it was just chocolate. It's not like you were waiting for him to leave so you could break out the scotch and cigarettes.

    yes, I hide my chocolate. we even have his and hers chocolate here. Raleighdon likes coffee in his chocolate, so his coffee laiden pieces sit out for ever. Mine, hidden in my desk slowly get eaten. I never (well, almost never) eat a lot at once, but I have some nearly every day.
    Possegal, Teigyr, great stories!

    Lots of times (ahem, cough, choke) I have been busted
    when someone decides to give me a kiss. Ah, you've been eating chocolate!!

    Yes.

    I buy chocolate for the house and sometimes special stuff for myself. THat's what I stash away.

    I work with a group of women and I am the keeper of emergency chocolate. We usually keep a semi= exotic (for Cleveland MS) dark chocolate bar stashed for long and stressful &/or hormonal days.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
