Welcome to Snarkfest

Welcome to my snarky corner of the web. Join me as I discuss everything from wine to chocolate. There may be a few other topics mixed in there too. I talk a bunch about my amazing offspring, 24 and 21. I sometimes go on and on about my secret crush on the amazing Mike Rowe. I talk about things that irritate me or things that make me happy. Sometimes I just talk to hear myself talk. Feedback is always appreciated but please make sure it's respectable. No nudity or profanity. I'm the only one allowed to be profane. But any and all snark is welcome and appreciated!

I wanna be YOUR brand ambassador, you chocolate makers!

Hey Godiva! Listen up because I'm only going to say this about 337,234 times: I LOVE YOUR PRODUCT! Seriously, I don't just 'enjoy a bite' every now and again. I want to immerse myself in your deluxe chocolately goodness. I wanna surround myself with your golden ballotins and swim in your velvety caramels. Seriously, I love your stuff. If you're not listening, let me try Hershey's.



Hey, Hershey's! Did you hear me? I LOVE CHOCOLATE and I'm not afraid to beg for it. I'm looking for brands to promote and you won't go wrong by offering me tons and tons of free product. I promise! There are literally tens of readers of mine who would enjoy seeing me covered in your Special Dark wrappers, or diving into a pool of your Hershey's Chocolate Syrup. Come on, don't make me beg! I'll kiss you for Kisses.

Hey, Cadbury! I've loved your eggs since birth. As a teenager I got through every monthly cycle with the assistance of Pamprin and your Dairy Milk Chocolate bars. Seriously, without that creamy brown goodness, many deaths would've occurred. So how about it? Offer me the chance to be your brand ambassador and you won't be sorry.

I'm looking at you, Ghiardelli. Don't think I'm not above begging you folks for samples of your yummy square brown goodness. Because I'm not. So seriously, call me!

Sure, I'll break out in pre-menopausal acne, possibly gain 79 pounds and have to buy a whole new wardrobe, but then I can ask Lane Bryant to be THEIR brand ambassador. Totally a win-win!!

I could be the next Blogger Idol!



I'm not much on reality shows, especially competitions like Big Brother, So You Think You Can Dance, Thinking about Dancing with an Idol, Dancing with a Brother, or American Idol. Give me a good Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe or Deadliest Catch and I'm the happiest of campers. So why, then, am I actually participating in a competition like Blogger Idol? Well, I'll tell you. It's not televised, no one is judging me, no one is calling me Dawg, Ryan Seacrest is NOWHERE to be found, and it's free publicity for my blog. And you know my mantra, if it's free, it's for me. So go checkout the voting at Blogger Idol and who knows? Maybe I'll get a few more readers out of the deal. Maybe I'll get a prize. But I blog anyway, right? I may as well try to get a little something out of my blog besides carpal tunnel syndrome. The prizes are very cool ranging from a Samsung Galaxy Tab to Boogie Wipes.

Don't spill my secret but I'm actually hoping for first runner up. Come on, you know me, I'm addicted to chocolate and the prize for first runner up is a Ghirardelli Chocolate gift basket. You should be applauding me for not having an over-inflated ego. Do I think I'm an awesome enough blogger to win the Tablet? Nah. But I just might be mediocre enough to win the Chocolate. And that's good enough for me.

So, auditions are open now and will close on September 17th. The top 12 finalists will be chosen on September 20th. If I'm in the top 12 (remember, it's ALL about the chocolate and I DO share) I will be tasked with an assignment, and all assignments will be voted upon starting on September 26. Please stay tuned for more details, and don't forget to visit my Facebook page and my Twitter page.

When the voting begins, there's chocolate for everyone. Because that's how I roll. Now spread the word please.
