A couple of days ago it hit me&#8230;  I could use it to  make my hot chocolate!  *S* I drink 2-4 cups a day, so it&#8217;s perfect!   *S*  <\/font><\/div>\n<div><font size=\"4\" face=\"Century Gothic\">2.   <strong>Chocolate chips. <\/strong> My kids have the most fun eating them,  especially when they are drowning in cookie dough.  Gotta admit, I&#8217;ve got a  weakness for the little buggers too.  <\/font><\/div>\n<div><font size=\"4\" face=\"Century Gothic\">3.   <strong>Email.<\/strong>  Even though at tiems I get so much of it, that I  can barely see straight&#8230;  It means I&#8217;m part of a group (well, several  groups really) that care about each other and are there to help each  other&#8230;  and even if I&#8217;m not actually using my voice, or talking face to  face with any of these women&#8230;  We meet every day in my inbox&#8230;   ready to pour out joys, fears, and frustrations&#8230;. and always knowing that  somewhere out in cyberspace, is someone who will say, &#8220;I know!

A little pop, a lot of country&#8230;.  but  Classical??  I gotta admit&#8230;  My art teacher was right&#8230;  it  does help to stimulate the creative side of my brain.  *S* and even seems  to have a calming effect on my kids.  *S*  anything that can calm  these wild beasts has got to be good! *S*  <\/font><\/div>\n<div><font size=\"4\" face=\"Century Gothic\">5.  <strong> Dishwashers.<\/strong>  I lived three years in Italy without  one.  I am so happy to have one here.  I absolutely detest handwashing  dishes.
