This week I found myself in an unlikely scenario….
Have you ever had 100 Grand basically coming out of your ears?? Yeah, me neither.
But that’s just what I found myself faced with this week. In fact, I dumped it out onto my bed and was SHOCKED at just how much I had.
I basically had a moment of feeling like a mogul….
A chocolate mogul that is.
Yep, I WISH it was tons of cash that was coming out of my ears. If that was the case, I’d have a button below that said something like, “Surprise! Thanks for being a wonderful reader. Click to get some free cash!” That would be the awesomest blog post ever, right?
I really was swimming in 100 Grand this week, but it was the chocolate kind. It was leftover from an event and my husband said it wasn’t needed anymore.
I have to come clean with y’all….
I am completely the weirdest girl I know. This is true because of many reasons, but in regards to 100 Grand is this…
I don’t like chocolate. (Gasp!)
I know!? Weird.
It gets stranger….I don’t like any kind of soda either….(but that’s neither here nor there). This post is about chocolate and what I decided to do with it….

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. I feel like it kind of sneaks up on you. You have Groundhog’s Day. (Are we 6 more weeks of winter or an early spring? Sorry Phil, I forgot to check in with you.). You are going along at the beginning of February; you get a false sense of having “plenty of time” to come up with something for February 14th, but then before you know it, BAM! You realize time got away from you and Cupid is knocking on your door. Well, maybe not knocking on your door. A little winged cherub (basically naked in the dead of winter) might be a little alarming to find on your doorstep. I definitely wouldn’t answer the door….
BUT, I digress. Whether you find Cupid at your doorstep (it’s up to you if you answer the door, but you’ve been warned…), or, like me, time slips away from you, here’s a Valentine’s Day treat that is sure to bring a smile to someone’s face.
(This is where the whole 100 Grand comes in. It sometimes takes me awhile, but I get around to the point eventually.)
I took all of those 100 Grand bars and made them into piles of ten. This would be a great time to put those minions of yours to work for you. I mean, you clothe them AND feed them, it’s the least they can do! (And bonus, you can pat yourself on the back and consider it a learning activity. Ha! Counting and learning to help others at the same time? It’s amazing the multitasking and wisdom you are demonstrating to your young saplings with this activity.) [wink]
Making piles of ten might have given you are clue as to where I am going with this.
OR, I might have you totally confused you at this point. I wouldn’t blame you!
I’ve mentioned naked Cupids, chocolate, minions…. You might be thinking, “This lady just said she was weird, but not liking chocolate is the least of her worries.”
Well…
Once I had them in piles of ten, I had my own chocolate version of ten 100 Grand, which any math savvy person can tell you equals 1 million.
All you need is a cellophane bag and a gift tag that says, “Valentine, you’re one in a million.” With these on hand, you can rest at ease knowing if Cupid comes knocking, you’re ready. Or at least when February 14th arrives, you’ve got a cute chocolate treat ready.
And don’t worry about the gift tag, I might not have a button that can dole out cash like mentioned above, but I DO have a button that can get you some printable gift tags (available below and this post here)! Wahoo! I even made it big, so you can ‘t miss it! Here it is:
