What is it about chocolate, and why do nearly all women love it so much? Why do even some prefer it over sex?

Besides it’s great taste that puts a grin on your face with every little bite as it melts in your mouth.

Chocolate contains phenylethylamine, which is a chemical related to amphetamines. The results is that we feel more alert and contentment. It also makes the brain release endorphins, think about how you feel after the BIG O with your significant other. That is the effect from the production of endorphins in your body, which is probably a good reason a number of women prefer to eat chocolate over sex. I would think it’s because its almost guaranteed to satisfy you every time. Phenylethylamine also mimics the feeling you have when your in love, with high levels of phenylethylamine in your body it also relieves depression. This is another one of the reasons why so many women love chocolate – it’s a great mood elevator, from those stressful days at work and or with our families as we take care of everyone. I know that when I’m a lil down I WANT CHOCOLATE!

What woman doesn’t love chocolate? I know I surely do but I have dramatically cut back on my intake of it well at least in candy form (Ice Cream would be a different story). Lela knows how much I love my Lindor Truffles. And grabbed a bag for me while we were out today. What a perfect way along with a couple glasses of wine to start off our 2nd consecutive child free night.

I know I still have posted pics from my Frisco / Sacramento trip. For some reason I just have no desire to go through them. Today I took my friend up to Julian for a slice of pie and a cup of coffee followed by a very short walk around town.

Where we had our pie, people drive from all over to have some Julian Apple Pie, we didn’t let the pie sit long enough on our plates to take a picture of it.

And just a picture of me standing around with my pudgy nose and double chin, lol…

A local rooster hollering at us….

This piece of artwork made me think of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman
