I rose from my satisfied slumber at noon. After I FINALLY got something to eat I thought about all the things I want to do and all the things I need to do to see these things come to pass. Life is really amazing. There are so many blessings I enjoy and can still enjoy if I just do what I can to enjoy them. It isn't that difficult. I got my dishwashing liquid from the store when I ventured out a little. The monster zit has dissipated but there's a scab there that I need to leave alone or risk receiving an ugly hole in my face. Cover-up is such a joyous thing.
I received lots of yummy New Zealand chocolate from my friend and former classmate Polini. Sooo good!!! She sent it to me after I made a post on Facebook that Pizza Pie Cafe was exactly how I thought it would be. She wrote I was making her hungry. I told her it wasn't that great and that I'd rather be eating some New Zealand chocolate sooo that made her message me that she'd send me some. I was annoyed when I heard the doorbell ring when I hadn't changed out of the clothes I slept in this morning. That quickly changed when I went to answer the door only to find the package there. The box was hot and the candy was soft. I just put it in the freezer and it looked fantastic after 20 minutes there. After taking pictures and posting these on Facebook to annoy my friends who don't have access to New Zealand chocolate now, I started eating one with rice krispies in it kind of like a crunch bar. Its an attempt to be like American chocolate although why ANYONE would want to imitate American chocolate is beyond me. This is why I started that one first. She sent carmello and fruit and nut bars which I loved eating in Tonga. I never had hazelnut or macadamia nut New Zealand chocolate before but I can't wait to try these. I would love to visit New Zealand some day. Polini sent me 5 huge yummy New Zealand candy bars. Mass production has made American chocolate weak and waxy. New Zealand chocolate is so rich you can't eat a lot of it even if you wanted to do that. While we have cadbury chocolate here it doesn't taste the same. I tried to explain that to someone once and they didn't believe me. Not only am I ruined by all the yummy Hawaiian local food I used to get BUT I also suffer from living in Tonga and eating real New Zealand butter all the time, sausages, chocolate, incredible ice-cream, meat pies, and pastries I can't get anywhere else. These little boys used to sell husked coconuts. The mouth of the coconut at one end has a soft opening you can fit straws into. Chilled coconut juice is AMAZING. I tried Sobe Life water's coconut version which is just gross when you've had the real thing.
I last saw Polini when we were 12. It's been over 23 years since I've seen her. It is so sweet that she'd do something like that. I'm going to enjoy my candy AND it's going to take awhile to finish all that. I'm so fortunate to have so many blessings. I'm grateful for what I have and what I continue to receive.
