M, K and I were in a restaurant recently and K ordered this nice cup of hot chocolate. We had $15 left on a gift card and wanted to use it up. Are you good about using all your gift cards? We ended up ordering a calamari appetizer and a dessert platter to share. They gave us lots of delicious bread rolls to scoop up the calamari! K didn't want coffee so he asked for the hot chocolate.
I found this interesting book review in the local paper recently. The book is 'Wave' by Sonali Deraniyagala. 'After losing her entire family in the 2004 tsunami, this mother finds her future by tenderly piecing together the past'.

Good to know this Adam as some people prefer gift cards. And I actually love giving personal gifts.
same here Gigi, the review was enough for me.
Good for you Icy, like Gigi said, I don't think I could bear to read the memoir, so sad.

It's got that magic word 'chocolate' Gloria!
I like a good documentary too Susi
Good point Valerie, writing is cathartic.
This kind of tragedy really makes you think Melgie...why, why not.
I keep track of my gift cards too Amy. In Canada, they never expire anymore by law.
Eating is always fun Farida (unfortunately sometimes!)
