Congrats !
Thanks! and Thanks for stopping by. 😀
Our pleasure 😉
We’re now following your blog.
THANKS GIRL!!!!
You’re sooo welcome. 😀
Great news, Colleen! You are deserving of this!
Jim
Thanks, Jim 😀
You got paid to eat chocolate?! 😮 Sounds like a dream but how long did it take to get sick of it? Did they have to rotate staff?
Did you like going 100mph? I rode pillion on a motorbike once but I was scared silly.
Okay I love your comments cause I usually learn a new word. I too rode pillion (that was the word I had to look up). No I didn’t get sick of the chocolate but I did have to learn to be a good taster consuming very little since I have low blood sugar. We had morning tastings with all the lab techs tasting all the finished products. I helped a different tech each day so I also had to taste the product right off the line. And then there were various tastings during the day. The gross part was having to taste all the raw materials. 😀 Now I want some chocolate. Have a sweet day.
You still haven’t told me whether you enjoyed going 100mph… 😉
It’s good too know that tasting chocolate for a living didn’t put you off. 😀
Hope you manage to find some lying around the house somewhere. (When does that ever happen? :))
I liked going 100 mph very much but it really didn’t seem that fast. The tough thing about all the tasting I did was I’m kind of a chocolate snob now — and with all this talk of chocolate now I’m really dreaming about some hot chocolate chip cookies (we occasionally had to taste those at work as well. 😀
Sorry. 😀 Those cookies sound so gooood.
Congrats on the award!
I want to hear about the sailing lesson.
Thanks for nominating me.
Thanks! The sailing is a long story — it’s actually part of a book I’m writing. The short version — 3 students that had never sailed — one instructor that kept saying we shouldn’t do this on a first lesson — a pop-up thundershower — boat flipped — we righted it — flipped again — had to swim though the thunderstorm to the life guard boat. It was way more exciting than it seems. I figured I would post part of the book for my fellow bloggers when I get it finished – that seems like a good section. And you are most welcome for the nomination — thanks for all your support. 😀
Being in the middle of a big body of water in a storm is scary when the boat is upright. I look forward to you post.
