A to Z April Challenge Letter C
Chocolate, Champagne and Casino….. as my daughter Selena calls it my Holy Trinity. There was no way to pick just one C! Chocolate has to be first! With the Reese Peanut Butter eggs, hearts, pumpkins in particular. Why the cups taste so much different I have no idea and why the eggs, pumpkins and hearts can’t be around year ’round I don’t understand either! I guess I should be extremely happy they aren’t! I can’t even imagine my hip size if they were!!
Champagne, yum! What is there not to love? Bubbles good! Taste delicious! I love champagne.
Casino, living in Southern California I’m so close to the Indian Casino’s it’s scary! Mind you, if I lived in Las Vegas I’d be living out of a shopping cart, I’m sure!! As it is there are 5 casinos within 25 minutes of me. Too many! Too close! My Mom and I spend one night a month at Harrah’s Rincon. We have dinner, we gamble and we go to bed too dang late!! I know what you are thinking when you live so close why spend the night?? Because the bathtubs in Harrah’s rooms are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! (okay mainly because we stay up way tooo late! I swear my Mom is like the energizer bunny at the casino! I say uncle way before she does! I’m too old to go to bed at 6AM!!!)

C is for Casino, Champagne and Chocolate. What are your vises?
A to Z Challenge blog everyday except Sunday (per the rules) with my theme being what makes me happy, what inspires me and what makes me ME!!! So be prepared for more information about me than you ever wanted to know!!

My daughter says the peanut butter egg has the perfect ratio of chocolate to peanut butter. Much more so than the heart, tree or any other shape. It is a good thing they are only around for a short time each year or I’d be the size of a house.
Connie Gruning
Tracy you are SO right!! If those eggs were around all the time… Oh man… it makes me cringe just thinking about it!! LOL

The vices I’ll admit to — 🙂 — are chocolate and way too much hanging about online.

Couldn’t help but gravitate towards this blog post from your A to Z list. Champaigne and chocolate all the way!
Happy A to Zing

I just had champagne for the first time last year and was happy to find I like it. I’m so picky about alcohol that it’s tough to find something I can stomach without making serious faces.
My number one vice is Mt Dew/Mellow Yellow. Mmm, but only one a day with the occasional cheat.

freshly baked bread, dripping with melted butter, yum… but none of that starts with “C”

I’m with you on the chocolate! We don’t have too many casinos here in Florida, but I’ve been once to the Hard Rock. Lol
Kelly
My mom loves the casino, too. Personally, I could take it or leave it. I usually have more fun watching my mom gamble than I do gambling myself! But I am SO with you on the chocolate!! 🙂

I’d say coke zero, stories (books, film, news), and chocolate. I’m enjoying some omazing madeleine brownies now 🙂

Your C’s are perfect, Connie! I can’t even imagine staying up that late…your mother must have the willpower of an Olympian. Chocolate and Champagne! Both should be had every day! And 5 casinos? Haha, I wouldn’t know the first thing about one, but it’s great you can enjoy your time with your mom!
Lillian Csernica
Hello, fellow A to Z-er! My vices are Beads, Books, and Bad Movies. I have too many of each, but that won’t stop me from getting more! 😀
Terri Giuliano Long
C is beginning to seem like heaven! I love cooking and chocolate. I guess when we get to S, I’ll be admitting my real vice: shoes!
Good luck with the challenge!
My best,
Terri
Diane K.Brimmer
Mine would be Chocolate, Cooking and last but surly not least Contests. Love them! LOL!
Jen Forbes
I’m with you on the casino’s, I’m ashamed to say I love to gamble and every year when my husband and I go down to the Islands besides the beach I’ll be in a casino.
Chocolate I can take or leave! Strange, I know!
And the Champagne, I’ll make a deal with ya..you can have mine, OK?
Helga
Vices are sweet foods and TV
Elizabeth
Vices? I have no vices! Just overwhelming preferences.
Connie Gruning

Great list…now I’m wondering if I can have Reese for breakfast 😀 The champagne might have to wait until later, though. Looking forward to more from your list of things that make you happy!

Well, not liking chocolate I think you can have all of my share. But you are right, Champagne is always delightful! We lived in Reno for 6 years, what a blast!
Connie Gruning
Gregg I would be seriously broke if I lived in Reno or Vegas!
And I’ll take that chocolate THANK YOU!!
C.M.Brown
What a combination! I have a soft spot for chocolate, don’t mind a glass or two… of champagne and heading to the casino is fun! Great C’s.

Three cheers for chocolate!

Chocolate, all the way! I’ve been eating it pretty much non-stop since Easter morning. My waist will be glad when it’s all gone. ☺
