Confessions of A Working Girl

I meant to write this on Wednesday, but I had a project due that night, and so got way busy finishing writing it…

Anyway, I bought a chocolate bar that was 85% cocoa. I’ve always read that chocolate with more cocoa in it–e.g. dark chocolate– is better for you.  But I didn’t expect it to be bitter. I took a bite and was immediately wide eyed. “This,” I thought “is chocolate?!”For the most part, the taste was a little foreign, that bitter taste. But it had hints of familiarity, like the taste of cocoa powder, and the tiny, tiny hints of sweetness that reminded me that it really was a chocolate bar. 

I thought that this is the perfect kind of chocolate to grab if you’re upset. One little bite, and you forget, for a moment, why you were upset because the taste is so shockingly bitter. It is better, in that way, then regular chocolate. If you’re upset and you eat regular chocolate, you eat a lot of it, and slowly feel a little better, but a little…fat…at the same time. With this chocolate, one, maybe two squares of the chocolate bar is plenty, and you can’t eat any more of it.

There is a confession mixed into my rambling about chocolate. But for the moment, I’m still a little…wary, I guess, and mad at myself…and so at the moment, the Chocolate Confession will be hidden for now, even though it is officially Confession number 4. 

On a brighter note,  I have chosen the play for the summer, and ordered it. The kids this year will be putting on the play “The Three Piggy Opera”. It is based off of the story of the three little pigs. The theme at the library this summer is “Go Green at your Library” so I was thinking of how to incorporate that into the play. Maybe the bricks that the brick seller sells are recycled library books?
