in the name of sanity, i need your help!

you may read the title of this post and think it's something serious, then read further down and think, "danielle's insane." well, my friends, this is serious. it's a matter of sanity, happiness and everything being right in the universe, and you just can't fight that! several months ago i was lucky enough to experience pure heaven in my mouth; it was as if world peace, cotton candy and independent wealth became one on my tongue. and i don't exaggerate. what caused this unbelievable and short-lived euphoria? this bilar candy...

so here's where your help is needed. i'm not in sweden (or another country that sells them, maybe?) so as far as i know, i can't go to the store and buy a bag or two hundred of these delicious treats. if you're in a country where these are sold, do you want to swap those for some american treat? i'm like a woman obsessed, but i can't help it! these are just SO delicious! please help me!

UPDATE: thanks to some friendly bloggers, i've discovered that this candy is sold in the u.s. at ikea. the only problem is: the nearest ikea is several hours away! AAAAHHHHHHH!

i've never been to sweden and bought these candies for myself, but i received a bag of them from a swedish blogger during a blog swap, and she helped to form a serious addiction.

in completely unrelated news, for a few days (and i recently saw that it wouldn't last), we've been having some almost spring-like weather. it's still been a little chilly, but nice enough to want to go outside. chris, kona and i did a little hiking yesterday and playing by the creek, and today kona and i took a walk. while we were out, i noticed that my irises were starting to come up, so i figured i'd clean up all te dead iris foliage from last year so i could see the sprouts a little better. in doing so, i grabbed on to some week with serious thorns, and one of them found a home under my pinky fingernail! man did it ever hurt, and then when i came in and washed my hands with hot water and soap, it hurt even worse! the thorn has been removed and my finger feels better, but just a warning, wear gloves around spiky things!

pretty: food

Today I have a chronic empty stomach and a persistent sweet tooth. I would be happy with: sugar cookies, snickerdoodles, cotton candy, conversation hearts, lucky charms cereal or a cream cheese danish, but extra sugar means extra buttage and extra guttage. Instead I'm fixing broiled flounder, mac & cheese and a fresh fruit salad. Yes, I know I didn't mention any veggies, but I forgot to get broccoli at le grocery store.

So what are you guys eating for dinner? Did you have any yummy snacks today? I don't know why I'm so hungry! When I was younger and I was really underweight (even though I could out eat most men) my stepmom's dad told me that I must have a tapeworm. Of course he was kidding, but I begged my dad to take me to the doctor to be sure! He didn't take me, and I didn't have one!

Thanks to everyone who emailed me pictures of their projects! I think I'm going to do the "what I've been working on" post on Saturday, so be sure to check back and see your lovely work! If you'd like to share your projects, you can still email me pictures and descriptions at kissparrotkiss@aol.com
