I know that there is no way I was good enough this year to deserve the surprise package I got from Tania.

Home. Made. Chocolates.

When I opened the package the cold packs had warmed, so I put everything into the refrigerator without looking at it. After dinner (and dessert–the last of the chocolate lava cakes) and getting my printer hooked up (my parents came over last night after dinner, for dessert, and we ended up trouble shooting computer problems for my mom) I went to the fridge to pull out the chocolates.

I am not worthy.

They’re in individual boxes! With paper ribbons! My eyes are tearing up just writing about it!

I haven’t even opened one yet, because I am stuffed from dinner. These chocolates requires that I savor the entire process from opening the package to eating the chocolate, and that’s just not something that should be done when one is uncomfortably full.

Meanwhile, I think I am lightheaded and may need to go lie down for awhile.
