How to Turn 40

Easter has past me by without much more than a nod. There was no colourful Easter egg hunt at my home. There were no baskets overflowing with candy. There was no glazed ham dinner complete with all the trimmings. I was a woman in the depths of PMS...So much so that even my DH realized, a day after the actual holiday, that I had been denied something so easily available at this time of year, and essential to HIS well being during times of PMS...chocolate. Not that this fact escaped me, my DH trotted off to the store to purchase some 1/2 off chocolate...he found a darling little bear with "Love Bear" printed on the box. Proudly he came in the door and presented me with his little treat...I looked at him. I looked at the box. I looked at him while I opened the box...I smashed that little bear's smiling chocolate face into a dozen little pieces and nibbled happily away with a fiendish smile on my face. My DH slowly backed out of the room. Husbands, please remember, for your own safety, that holidays that involve chocolate should always be observed...and they must be observed with pomp and ceremony during times of PMS!!! Not only must they be observed with pomp and ceremony during these times, but they must be lead by YOU...You CAN make a dinner (or better yet, take your loved one out to enjoy someone elses cooking), you CAN colour eggs with the kids, and you MUST remember that a basket filled with high quality chocolates can be used as credit when next you mess up big time - and you KNOW you will mess up! Never let it be said that you have not been warned!!!
