No Chocolates Before Christmas Part II

12/17/2010

We just got back from the lights at Lobethal, and MAN I am sleepy! We had a great time, and I'm going to post those pictures in the next few days. 

I just want to let you all know that I am losing my war with chocolate (refer to yesterday's post), and there is nothing that I can do about it. Today, some of the ladies at work received personal gift baskets from one of our clients.

I hope you can forgive the mess on my desk. There was a lot going on. It's much cleaner now.

I had to get a close-up of the snowflake ornament on the bow. Even though there is no snow in Adelaide during Christmas (or ever), I still see a lot of snowflake decorations. This one's a keeper.

The gift basket included James Road dark chocolate covered apricots (I already downed six of them today), James Road chocolate fudge biscuits (the James Road food is apparently made in Lobethal- what a coincidence!), milk chocolate toffees, flowers in syrup (you put them in champagne??) and a bottle of Yellowglen wine from the Barossa valley. Funny enough, Al went to work in the Barossa today and came home with three bottles of wine. Really...what are we going to do with all of this wine?

I'm curious about these edible flowers in syrup. It looks very pretty in the jar. It will make an interesting blog post when I decide to use it.

In addition to that, I also got a generous gift card for Netflix (or the Aussie equivalent). Have I mentioned that I work with amazing people?? I can't wait for our Christmas party tomorrow night. 

I also ran three miles after work! That's the most I have run since I became injured. I admit that I was in a lot of pain when I finished my run, but it went away after a few minutes of walking and especially after using my foam roller. I guess I'll have to see how I feel in the morning. I'm hoping that it will be pain-free! 

I hope all of your Fridays are a lot of fun AND full of chocolates!
