Lunchtime involved some festive merriment in the way of singing carols around our newest baby grand that was donated to the college by a sweet elderly couple. A good time was had by all. My bestie forced me to get in the car and sludge my way into the hall. I propped myself up against the wall in the corner so I wouldn't pass out from sleep deprivation. I sounded like an old clucky hen that had seen her day in the sun when I was singing. LOL!!
Once that was over, it was off to a conference call on the other side of campus. I managed to find the office it was being held in and slumped down into a cushy chair. That professor's office was filled with every book imaginable and I couldn't help but notice the heat had warmed the room to "toasty". Between the soft chair and warm atmosphere, I'm amazed I didn't conk out right there.
A long afternoon back in my office made me decide my brain had gone to mush and so I schlepped out to my car. Somehow, I managed to stay on the road and made it to my home in one piece. (Thanks God)
I got up to my front porch and saw a little white package sitting on my neighbor's bench under our mailboxes. As I squinted, I saw my name and for the life of me, couldn't remember ordering anything online that would've gotten to my house that fast. That's when I saw that it was from Influenster! Suddenly, all traces of exhaustion dissipated and I couldn't unlock my door fast enough! After apologizing to my cat for stepping on his toe for what seems to be the ten millionth time (why he never learns I can't see him in the dark is beyond me), I sat on my couch, turned the light on and began to open the box...
DING DONG MERRILY ON HIGH!
I found inside, a beautiful golden box with a bow from Ferrero Rocher USA! It was a HEAVY little sucker too! I read the side wrong and thought it said there were only 6 chocolates inside. Well, the box just begged to be opened so I could sneak a peek. That's when I realized there were 18 chocolates in there! WHAT?? At this point, I'm wide awake because dude... it's not every day you get to enjoy a complimentary treat of divine hazelnut chocolately goodness from Influenster that IS Ferrero Rocher!!!
Yes. Yes that is me. Yes, I have no make-up on. I'm still impressed I know my name at this point. In the past 48 hours, I've had under 6 hours of sleep. That will NOT stop me from enjoying one of my all-time favorite treats before hitting the pillow. I cannot wait! I can already taste the many layers of chocolate and hazelnut :) The best is when you get down past the chocolate/crushed hazelnut outer layer and make it into the wafer. Once you snap your teeth in past the wafer, that's when you're rewarded with the amazing one-of-a-kind hazelnut chocolate creme that melts on your tongue. Oh and as a parting "thanks", you're left with a whole hazelnut swimming in the creme! It's amazing how all those layers are so well placed in that one round piece of chocolate!
Thank you, to Influenster, for allowing me to test and review this delicious product!
Thank You, to Ferrero Rocher USA, for helping me get through this marathon-like day!
