DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE? IT’S CRANBERRY BLISS TIME BABY!

 

Ok, enough with the all caps. Faithful readers of this blog know that I LOVE Cranberry Bliss bars, not quite more than life itself but close. Ron Hawkins- love more than life itself and Cranberry Bliss. A close second.

Long roundabout Jen story coming up, be free to skim as needed.

It was a dark and dark night…I went over to the concert hall last night and left around 7:10ish…rather depressed. Went to RLTP to see…a historical musical about the Great Depression. FUN NIGHT RIGHT?

Well…it got better when I arrived home after the play and found in my mailbox an unmarked envelope with a $5 Starbucks Giftcard inside (thank you unmarked person!) Now this was rather coincidental since I had told Ms. Maggie that I would pick her up before work and we could go to Starbucks in the morning, something we have never done before.

I think I shall plan on going to Starbucks EVERY MORNING before work if it means unmarked envelopes of gift cards will arrive in the mail the night before (I’ll send you my address…no really, just ask!)

SOOOOO I went to bed, late. Woke up, late. BUT WOKE UP TO PRETTY MUCH THE BEST THING I COULD EVER ASK FOR! Ron Hawkins interview/music playing on WBFO.

Ron Hawkins just HAPPENS TO BE PLAYING IN BUFFALO tonight and tomorrow night which has me HAPPYHAPPYHAPPYHAPPY.

Wine/Cheese Art Reception and Concert this evening- I’ll be there! AND concert tomorrow night…I’ll be there!

And to wake up to his voice and his music…made it possible to get out of bed and head to Starbucks with my dear friend before work.

Whist at the Bucks waiting in the long line I was reading the chalkboard and saw the HOLIDAY DRINKS FEATURED (which I already knew from being at B&N this weekend and had my first Peppermint Mocha *no whip* of the season.)  AND THEN LO!
ALL HAIL!

“Try our CRANBERRY BLISS BAR!”

Now, I recall last year driving out to the burbs before Thanksgiving to get a taste of my favorite dessert…the City Bucks did not have it yet. BUT THIS YEAR! BRING IT ON BABY! Guess I slept two weeks away with the SWINE FLU and didn’t even REALIZE IT WAS TIME FOR CRANBERRY BLISS!

SOooooooooooooooo excited! I purchased only three. One for Mags and two for um, me and myself.

Maggie was a Bliss Virgin. So glad I was there for her first…

Besides the Bliss Bar being so freaking smooth and delicious and filled with holiday love, I think I also love it because I know it is out of my reach for much of the year. Not unlike the Cadbury Creme Egg. I always want what I cannot have.

SUMMARY OF POST:
