My Response to Sarah P:
The reason you have not seen a bitter Valentine's Day post is because there will not be one. At least not this year, anyway.
Why, you might ask? Because I am not bitter about Valentine’s Day. I mean, it doesn’t even really feel like Valentine’s Day. And I don’t wish I had a boyfriend, because I’m more focused on making friends right now; I have the rest of my life to get romantically involved. But most importantly. . .because I plan on eating LOTS of chocolate tonight.
I’ve invited some girls from my college social club (like a sorority) over to my apartment for a chocolate buffet, which I am preparing myself. I am SO EXCITED! I have been baking all weekend and have a little more to do tonight. I have decorated my apartment with candy, roses, candles and lollipop hearts. I’m going to light a fire and turn on the Charlie Brown Valentine special. And we are going to eat chocolate. Here’s a sample of what we’ll be dining on:
1) Candy Bar Chocolate Brownies
2) Paula Deen's Chocolate Bundles w/Chocolate Ganache
3) Brown Sugar Pecan Sticky Bars (they were a big hit over the holidays) with chocolate piping on top
4) Marbled Chocolate Meringues
5) No-Bake Cookies shaped like hearts
6) Fruit & Chocolate Fondue (with marshmallows, strawberries, pound cake & twinkies for dipping)
I've drug out some cool glassware and will have lots of milk (and Dr. Pepper, of course) on hand. This is going to be top-notch, people. Who has time to worry about boys with a menu like that in their future?
Eat your heart out, Martha Stewart!

Thank you so much for hosting this AMAZING evening! Not only do you have a super cute place, but you cook super cute (and YUMMY) food in your cute place!
Thanks again for everything! I'm so glad I got to see you again! You make me smile, A. Lo!
AND...I have a GREAT picture of you butt now! ;)
so how was it?
I'm sorry, there were butt pictures? I may disown both of you now.
You should have a college get-together that invites married people too - you know, we're people too! We have chocolate needs! I miss you guys!
And I'm very proud of the lack of bitterness. But the true test is: Did you wear black like you used to when we were in college?
Sarah P....you can see the pics they are on my pic link on my profile of my AIM name. Butt pic included! ;)
Matthew- I think feedingyourmind said it best--it was yummy and there were butt pictures taken. I consider that a productive party. Also, I told your Mom that I would "cater" if she wanted to have a house-warming party. (Although I hope there will be no butt-pictures taken there.)
D Love- Your comments have been noted. I will keep them in mind for when I am concentrating on "man-catching." Although I have to say that the real test will not be whether or not I cook for him, but whether or not I allow him into my kitchen. I'm pretty protective of it.
Sarah P- As far as the "black" issue goes, I'll let you be the judge. I wore a black skirt and black camisole with a green shrug (the top half of my work outfit can be seen on Kim's yahoo pics, because I wore it that night as well). I had worn the exact same outfit before, on non-V-day, so I'll let you decide. I don't really think it counts.
