Run Away - to - Bliss!

I discovered these while shopping at WalMart in Lenoir City, yesterday.  It was a good thing I bought a bag.

I needed them!  I mean - I really - needed them!

If it weren’t for the fact that I’d awaken a sleeping dragon - with puppy breath -  in the bathroom - I’d go get the weight scale and shoot the reason why I just lied.

Physically - I need - nothing but water for the next couple of weeks.  Oh - and pure sunshine - for the other half of the effort - walking it off.

Okay - so alright - my butt doesn’t really need them.  Fine.  I’ll blame it on my soul.

Yeah - It was my soul.  And my soul thanked me - after having the first five or six!  Oh - wow.  All I could think about after the first one was “ Look out, Godiva!  Yo’ high-dolla munchies just took a serious hit! “

That raspberry chocolate took me elsewhere for a while!  Don’t ask me where.  Trying to concentrate that hard with two canine’s behaving like they’re trying to maul each other - forget it.  But then - there’s something to be said for feeling like I’m in heaven - when I’m actually nowhere but in a fog.

The Bliss chocolates are - actually - nothing new for Hershey.  They come from the old-fashioned recipe - the original recipe.  That was before the days of that sad decision to begin cheating customers - and giving them gritty - whipped - hollow tasting chocolate with less flavor.  Yeah - all the chocolate monsters pulled that stunt - back in the late '60's - when the price of sugar and cocoa climbed high altitudes - the same way coffee is doing right now.

And I’m puttin’ these puppies to the test!

I had one of - those - kind of days - yesterday.  I think the ultimate moment - among several - was the one when I was putting groceries into the trunk of my Putt-Putt.  Got all the bags in.  Started situating everything.  Turned around to get the last two items - the Puppy Chow and the Potty-Pads.  “ What the - where’s the grocery cart! “

My eyes looked down the row of parked cars - instantly soaking in the most ironic sight.  A lady younger than me - racing - trying to strap her baby into a car seat with her eyes planted on - my grocery cart - which was headed right for the side of a car driven by - a lady much older than me - ( yeah - I know!  Can ya' believe it! ).


The younger lady was fighting like the devil - trying to beat the clock!  Trying to get to that run-away cart before it hit the car driven by the older lady!

I should have shot a photo of that!  But my camera was in the glove box of my Putt-Putt.  And -  I discovered - after I managed to get home without hitting any other cars with my car - that I’d left the SD Memory card dangling in my computer tower.

I'm tellin' ya' - it was one of those days!


Poor girl didn’t make it.  But - she won part of the race.  She beat this wench to the cart!  I felt just - horrified - embarrassed - really bad.

If she wasn’t in such a hurry to get back to her baby - understandable, of course - I would have ripped open that bag of Hershey’s Raspberry Bliss right there - and the two of us would have pigged out - right there - in the parking lot at - WalMart!

Okay - that’s my WalMart story for the day!
