salvation

It doesn't look like much. But after a bad day/week.. It's my sanity in a cup. Some people drink alcohol, some people smoke their choice of smoke-able plants, others dabble with a variety of other "recreational drugs" me.. I need something much more hearty and satisfying.. The answer for me is Chocolate. I am absolutely mad about chocolate.. 

I read a horoscope book once that said those born under the particular planetary alignment that I am, are  prone to chocolate obsession more so than any other person born on any other day.. It was the most believable thing I've ever come across in  astrological literature.  Other than star destiny I would say it's likely due to the effect that chocolate has on the brain.. this effect is supposedly more pronounced in women.. considering the people I know both guys and girl and their reactions to chocolate I would concur. 

Today was a bad day.  I needed chocolate like nobodies business.  I got my ultimate comfort drink.  Hot chocolate flavored with maple syrup and smoked sea salt. from French Broad Chocolate.  French Broad Chocolate Lounge is hands down one of my favorite chocolate shops of all time. Great atmosphere, cool art, good music selection that plays just loud enough overhead, although sometimes there's live music that's equally good, there is even the option for wine and if you aren't sure what you want  you are welcome  to try something free samples from their chocolate bars. I love you above all other chocolate shops French Broad Chocolate Lounge..

 breath deep, wrap cold fingers around me, relax and feel the chocolate bliss
