loving. . . .

currently loving. . . .

sipahh straws - i first encountered them when we went to McDonald's here. when we ordered chocolate milk, we were given regular milk and this straw that magically (not magic) transforms regular milk into - chocolate, strawberry, banana, caramel milk!!! how great is that??? the thing is, it's not as sweet as the ready made ones so it's popular with me, not so popular with the kids.


ok, milka chocolate. the best thing that has happened to cheap chocolate. believe me, i've tried my share of gourmet and handmade chocolates but i was still hershey's kisses girl. i don't like anything added to my chocolate, no nuts, no rice thingies, no fruit, no alcohol, no thank you. i just like smooth milk chocolate - so i've stuck with my hersheys until i met this guy. wow, this is the BEST cheap milk chocolate around. i think it's only available in europe, so i will have to bring a stash to prove it to my fellow cheap chocoholic - namely, sooj.

this winter hasn't been all that bad but there was one important discovery here in poland. fleece lined tights! when i went to the market across from joe's work to buy some black stockings, i discovered this gem. it's super elastic like regular tights but has super warm fleece linings! perfect for winter! no need for ugly long john's - just cleverly hidden stylish tights! if you want a pair, i'll be taking orders via email. (just kidding, please don't email me.)

oh, and not so currently loving. . . . pain of setting up shop. i've been looking into developing my children's jewelry line and the reason that there's a lack of handmade children's jewelry is fear of liability! i should've guessed. the realities of doing business in the States sucks. i'm hoping that my lawyer friends, especially the one who is folding laundry with her law degree framed in her laundry room will help me out when it comes time :P

anyways, girls earrings are all packaged and ready to be sent out to my pierced little friends! hope they like them!

i hope the chocolate isn't too creamy, sort of looks it...i am lactose you know ;P. anyways, with leggings, cheap chocolate and chocolate straws as the top things in poland, don't think many people will come and visit. i mean, someone like me will come and visit just for cheap chocolate...but i am talking about others :)
