What is that?

So tonight, Kris (who will henceforth be called my boyfriend-since I'm starting over, we decided we would "date" again, so don't be confused if you hear/"see" me refer to him that way) went to pick up a prescription for me (because he's awesome like that), only to find out that the Walgreens I sent it to was already closed.  But he brought home my favorite tea (the ultimate gift of love-aside from Jesus of course).  He handed me a turtle (chocolate and caramel, not water/land-dwelling), and a red-wrapped chocolate something.  He said he didn't know what it was, so in case I didn't like it, he handed me a green wrapped candy, the size of a truffle that was actually a Junior Mint (though I don't think you can call it Junior).  So I decided to investigate to see what this mystery candy was.  As soon as I opened it and spotted the clear-ish liquid seeping from the chocolate exterior, I knew it was a chocolate covered cherry.  Since he was in the other room I said loudly "This is a chocolate covered cherry."  I hate chocolate covered cherries.  I further surmised that this one didn't even have the white creamy goodness that is the only redeeming part of a chocolate covered cherry and I relayed this to him as well.  But I wasn't going to let a cherry stand in my way.  I bit the chocolate in half, capturing the side with the cherry.  I removed the cherry from my mouth and put it in the wrapper, and declared victory (out loud for Kris to hear) over the cherry and consumed just the chocolate and liquid whateverthatis.

That's when Olivia, who should have been asleep an hour ago, decides to chime in quite adorably (manipulative little girl) "Don't judge it by its cover."  I had to ask Kris to repeat it because I couldn't hear her.  So he did and when he told me, she added "Or how it looks."  It was quite amusing.  She is ALWAYS doing stuff like that.  She reminds me so much of Abbey in how she does things like that.  You know, that cute way that a kid sounds or the look on their face as they say something completely adorable when they know full well they are supposed to be ASLEEP?  Yeah...that.

By the way...life HAD been somewhat turbulent for a few weeks (which I mentioned briefly in my last update last month), thus the lack of writing on my part.  Things are starting to settle back into a somewhat normal-ish something or other, and as I was going to quickly just shorten this story so I could quote Livvy in my Facebook status, I decided I would just go ahead and post it to my blog.  I'm sure that my Facebook friends who don't really care at all what I say but haven't bothered to hide me from their feeds would appreciate that.  You're welcome.

So, I'd like to say "I'm back...to writing regularly...again...for real this time..." (this sounds a lot like my battle with food/weight loss) but I'm taking life one day at a time now.  Some days it's hours and minutes at a time.  I hope to document my journey, very vaguely of course because some things are just TOO personal (YES THERE IS SUCH A THING AS TOO PERSONAL FOR EVEN ME TO WRITE ABOUT), but I have to just see how the next day goes, after it gets here.

I know I went a little overboard with the parentheses but since I love them so much, it seemed only fitting to include so many in this post.   In reality, I gave it no thought at all until I read back through this and saw them all.  Then I realized that it isn't just in my writing.  (I'm pretty sure that I THINK in parentheses.)  ;-)
