75% Off and a Joke

Yes, I know Easter's over but a few days after, I was at the grocery store and they had all their chocolates like 75% off! What could I do?  I bought these treats.  I love creamy Lindt and Cadbury chocolates.  The brown bunnies are a new from Ferrero Rocher, hazelnut flavour and yes, the bunnies are hollow!  


Here is a joke I received via email, I've seen it before but it's a good one, lol:



Jennifer's wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing could dampen her excitement - not even her parent's nasty divorce.

Her mother had found the PERFECT dress to wear, and would be the best-dressed mother-of-the-bride ever!

A week later, Jennifer was horrified to learn that her father's new, young wife had bought the exact same dress as her mother!

Jennifer asked her father's new young wife to exchange it, but she refused. "Absolutely not! I look like a million bucks in this dress, and I'm wearing it," she replied.

Jennifer told her mother who graciously said, ''Never mind sweetheart. I'll get another dress. After all, it's your special day.''

A few days later, they went shopping, and did find another gorgeous dress for her mother.

When they stopped for lunch, Jennifer asked her mother, ''Aren't you going to return the other dress? You really don't have another
occasion where you could wear it."

Her mother just smiled and replied, ''Of course I do, dear.....I'm wearing it to the rehearsal dinner the night BEFORE the wedding.''

I've chosen to stay away from the Easter candy aisles; otherwise I'd be buying a new wardrobe with the money I saved on candy :-)

it's a shame most candy doesn't last more than year. It would be easy to get holiday stuff for the next year
