so i was at work the other day and all excited about my newly founded blog so i was spreading the word for everyone to go check it. well i told them it was chrishansen.blogspot NOT chrislhansen.blogspot so i forgot about the L, cause i apparently started a blog in '05 that i never ever started to write in. so anyways moral of the story is that everyone said it was empty and i had an emotional crisis. but then i found it, and it was good, and it was funny!
So I saw the food channel the other day and they made bowls out of chocolate. it's really fun! get a bag of chocolate chips, wax paper, and balloons. melt some chocolate chips in the microwave for 1 min. stir till smooth and let cool while blowing up a balloon. carefully spread the WARM chocolate on the bottom of the balloon with a spoon. about 1/3 to 1/2 way up the balloon and throw a gob on the wax paper to form a base. set the balloon in the gob and let cool for 2 hours. snip a small hole at the top by the knot and let it deflate (on it's own or it'll shatter) when it is done carefully pull the balloon out.
now comes the fun part of my first experience with these. i forgot to let the chocolate cool before i put it on the balloon. so in my mom's new kitchen i popped a chocolate covered balloon. it went everywhere. the ceiling, the stove, my coat across the room, even on the white dog (poor sadie). funny thing is that i was wearing a white shirt and it was unscathed! (???)
so for v-day i'm making a chocolate vase for mike and filling it with candy and a list of things that i like about him. what do ya think? not too bad for a broke v-day present.
by the way since i'm on a tangent i'm gonna spill my heart. i invited my extended family to follow my blogs and i don't want them to be offended by me talking about mike but i don't want to offend myself either. i love you all and i hope that you understand. i can't post about my life without mentioning that i am in a relationship. i'm not going to post anything mushy or whatever but i'm not going to avoid it either, as i hope you'd do the same. you can't keep up to date with a family member without hearing about the significant other every once in a while.
Thanks for following the tangent. my pillow is calling my name... more like screaming it. goodnight!
