April chocolate winners!!
For reasons too mysterious to explain, I’ve decided to go big this month and award some extra chocolate just because.
So I’m happy to announce that April’s chocolate winners are:
JANET!!
KIMMY!!
JONE!!
FARIDA!!
And one secret winner who will just get random chocolate and never know why. Bwaa-haa-haa.
Congratulations to all of you! Your chocolate is on its way!
(P.S. As I mentioned before, this is the last of the chocolate for a few months until things cool down again. Next month’s winners will get to choose between perfect, fabulous coffee or sweets of an unmeltable kind.)

Congratulations everyone! Yum, yum, yum!
Thank you so much! I’m tickled.
Farida aka Alkelda
Thanks again! I love winning things, especially chocolate!
You are so sweet to be doing this. I was telling someone about it and she couldn’t get over the idea of giving stuff away to strangers. She didn’t really understand the whole internet thing, but still, it IS a lovely thing to do.
Well thanks, Emma! I just figure we all have to do our part to improve the human condition, and this is one of the ways I could think of.
Plus, I can’t give blood anymore because last time I did I passed out and woke up having peed all over myself. So giving away chocolate seemed like a safer choice.
Congratulations, all! The last of the chocolate for a few months – what an honor! Make sure and enjoy it.
(At Robin’s giving-blood story: Oh dear. But since they don’t have chocolate drives, someone has to do it, right?)
rb, i can’t give blood either! what a coinkydink (sp). not because i weigh the same as a biafran 3rd grader (like a fellow bloggie who will only be identified as–deborah) but because i’m a full-on, all occasion, gloves off, fainter. never p*ed myself but i faint anytime, anywhere. i so should have lived in victorian england and no need for tight corset. i faint if i get excited. i faint if i get upset. i faint if i give blood. i faint if i give birth. i faint if i’m at a play and someone TALKS about commiting suicide. i faint if i’m on a morning stroll with a friend. i faint so damn often that my husband says, and i quote, “just ‘leave’ or ‘ignore’ (as appropriate) her, she does this all the time, it’s her way of getting attention.” how cold is that.
so anyhow, full-circle here, i have a fairly rare blood type, so when red cross calls and says there has been a car accident and itty-bitty baby is in surgery, i’m there. after three fainting episodes (i had warned them and said, “no big deal, just give me a bunch of cookies and juice when i come to”) they black-listed me. i am officially not able to give blood, just like i’d visited a mad cow disease country within the two years prior.
so again full-circle, and it’s not a pity thing–but i was wondering about the mystery recipient, you know, just in case, but whatever, i totally understand.
OK, chocolate seems a lot better choice both for you and the staff at the blood donation centre
Now I’m sorry I didn’t do a separate post on what happens when some of us give blood. Unless someone wants to read about the April chocolate winners, they’re never going to find Annette’s entertaining confession.
Miri, I like the idea of a chocolate drive. You’re right–that’s my calling.
Emma, just so you know, I didn’t pee while I was at the blood donation center. I had the good grace to make it to my car, get the door open, fall into my seat, close the door and lock it, then pass out and wake up . . . you know. So as far as the blood donation people know, I’m solid. Unlike Annette.
Well I received the chocolayer. Yes I understand why the chocolate contest is put on hold. I was prepared for my shipment yet still somewhat stunned at the actual look of the layer of chocolate. The crumbs were tasty. I know I lost the sense and form of a truffle. Would M&Ms do this??
Dang. Sorry about that. Stupid global warming.
I’ll see if I can get you a replacement.
