2017 was perhaps not the world's greatest year. At Life by Chocolate, though, we're thrilled. Why? You showed up! And you showed up consistently. You showed up with a smile. You showed up to grace us with your sharp wit, warm thoughtfulness, outrageous humor, and heartfelt care. Your presence is more important to me than I can say. I relish in giddy-overwhelm when considering all of the unexpected journeys and rewards I've enjoyed because of you.
And we* have plans for an active 2018 here. Oy vey, do we have plans! (Dude Three will return with a wacky twist. Reasons for Celibacy makes a comeback. Erotica never leaves. Will Martha ever leave? We haven't yet managed to oust her.)
I'll be slipping away from cyberspace during New Year's. So I'm leaving this here, along with hopeful sentiment. May 2018 bring good health, love, peace, and all the silliness you deserve. Chocolate too, of course. Lots of the good stuff. Dark, creamy but firm, hard but not too hard to lick and chew, European or Latin or Costa Rican - whatever entices me. I mean you...
*"We" means Kelly Clarkson and Maccauley Culkin whenever they stop by to take a selfie, and me.
I love you, Dear Sillies.
I love you too, kid. Here's looking at you.
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks, Geo. *blowing a kiss.*
DeleteI have already complained about you heating up the already sultry ambient temperature over here.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping that the New Year brings you all the fireworks you deserve. And chocolate. LOTS of chocolate.
From your fingertips to the Goddess of Chocolate and the God of Manliness' ears. Thank you, dear one.
DeleteGet your Auld Lang Syne out!
ReplyDeleteI've been shakin' it. Happy New Year, Wilma.
DeleteWishing you all the best for a safe and rewarding 2018. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteA great New Year to you too, Stephen.
DeleteThose of you who are still here, I wish you much happiness next year!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lon.
DeleteA very Happy New Year to you as well.
Happy New Year to a wonderful gal who deserves all the chocolate creams that a man just can’t provide...but he can try:)
ReplyDeleteEh, move over duds - I'm going for the real chocolate creamy milk duds and other fine cocoa edibles.
DeleteThank you, Birgit. Happy 2018!
We made it through another year.
ReplyDeleteThat in itself deserves a good cheer.
I wish all of you here
A very happy New Year!
I wanted to say something about Martha's rear, but I regained control at the last moment. You should feel relieved at that.
Your choice gave me relief. I chuckled and sighed. Martha's butt isn't pretty -
Deleteit's quite ugly and wide
But she rocks bladder-proof undies
and serves a nice quiche on the side.
Hopefully you get some fun repeats at your sea and a great new year is had for thee. I think we need to stick Martha and her buns in the deep fryer though and leave them there.
ReplyDeleteA great year to you
DeleteOne that's playful and fun
no such wishes to Martha
May she deep fry her buns.
So glad the great ones - Martha, Bernie, and Robyn with a little elfin Ed Sheeran popped up in the pics. Oh what a year indeed. And I look forward to 2018 in Robyn Chocolate world - sprinkles on top. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteHappy 2018, Joanne.
DeleteLove from me and elfin Ed Sheeran.
Wishing you a year filled with happiness & chocolate!!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, fishducky! Thank you.
DeleteAnother poem for me to read to Willy Dunne Wooters. I love it when he laughs. He can't remember the names of any of my blogger friends. He can't even remember the name I use for him on my blog. He refers to himself as Woody Dunne Woody. Do you think that has some significance?
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I dunno. Wait...OH! Yes. I think it does have significance. Send him over here so I can be sure.
DeleteLove.
It has been a crazy year indeed! Thanks for all the smiles. Wishing you a happy new year, Robyn!
ReplyDeleteAll the best to you in 2018, Connie. Gratitude.
DeleteHey Robyn,
ReplyDeleteHere's to 2018 being a much better year than the surreal, bordering on a nightmare, that 2017 has been.
I only just found out what a "selfie" means. And to think I thought it meant some kind of um, self-pleasuring. Oops...
Have a wonderful New Year, my adorable friend.
Gary :)
Oh, a "selfie" doesn't mean self-pleasuring while you take the photo? Um, oops.
DeleteYes, Gary, good riddance to 2017. 2018 is already much better, right? A healthy, peaceful, saner year to you, friend.
I thought I’d commented here—some sarcastic view of 2018 being when Martha becomes Trump’s cook (as she’s back to work in a prison cafeteria)
ReplyDeleteShe'd be wearing a pretty pink ankle bracelet and tight spandex. (She has a thing for Trump and likes to heat things up when he's around.) Eww. Sorry to ruin your (and my) appetite forever.
DeleteHappy New Years, we had some chocolate in our desert last night...so, ended the year on the right note. And some bubbly of course.
ReplyDeleteSandy's Space
You're a smart lady, Sandy. The chocolate plus bubbly combo ensures a sweet New Year.
DeleteMay it be happy and full of life's best.
Happy New Year, Robyn! I hope you get LOTS in 2018! Chocolate, of course, what else could I mean? ha ha
ReplyDeleteMoney? Nah, chocolate's much more valuable.
DeleteThanks, Debra. ;->
Happy New Year! Hope 2018 is a great one for you!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sherry. You too! Happy 2018.
DeleteWe are old alright, well, at least I'm starting to feel it.
ReplyDeleteAs for repeat performances, at my age, I'd settle for a single one haha
Hope it's a great year ahead for you Robyn. May you find that elusive, dare I say it, Dude Four.
