Chocolate and Wonka




Wonka have some chocolate?? LOL.. Well, it Is February and you can't have chocolate without Willy Wonka..now can you. The two just seem to go together. As much as I love Johnny Depp, I didn't really "feel it"! Gene Wilder did a much more believeable job of it. So, if you're having chocolate today, and you just need a "feel good" movie, watch it.
Well, we broke records yesterday with temps hitting the 80's in some areas. I am appreciative of the warmer weather. I don't "do" cold very well. That reminds me...how are y'all doing out there on the Omega3 challenge? Any results yet?
Crystal had to go to the Chiropractor this morning for her neck and back. They discussed many things which gleefully...did Not include me or my fall. Yes..I am evading him untill my kneecap is better. If he knew, he'd probably call and start grilling me about my evasion...I'll have to ponder this situation...I'll be in trouble no matter what I say or do...LOL
Well, here's hoping your day is a happy one...we're rather slow today so I have a chance to get this out early. Have lots of fun and just smile...lots.

Jenn- We have both as well and the Wilder one is the favorite.


Dick- LOL I'm Glad you do!!! What "pretties" do you have at your place today??

Brenda said...

Johnny Depp, didn't have to be a believable Willie Wonka, he's so pretty that he's forgiven for not seeming to fit the part. :-)

Warm and threatening thunderstorms here today.

Donna said...

Brenda- Oh Girl....soooooTrue....LOL...Try to stay in out of the rain!!! And I pray there's NO high winds!!

Hi Donna,

I've never seen either movie but I LOVE chocolate. I don't do cold weather well too, it feels more like March here in Ohio today then Feb. How is your knee doing? You don't think you tore something in it, do you? Take care of yourself!

Are you really stating that you have another "stash" of chocolate in your room mother dear???

dabrah said...

I saw both versions, and the Gene Wilder version was my favourite, especially because of all the songs. I thought your knee was better, is it still bothering you? When the music on your blog came on, I almost jumped out of my skin, but I'm really enjoying it now. I can't believe it's already Shrove Tuesday, we just had Christmas. At the rate we're using up holidays and special days this year, we'll run out of them before the year is halfway over.

Donna said...

Joan- It's a virtual heat wave!! LOL...I just have trouble lifting it, like climbing a stair..but it is improving! Have a happy night!!

Donna said...

Crystal- Now you know Very Well your Father ate those Ages ago...and to think....Humphhhhhh!!


Dabrah- Love the Wilder one as well...The knee Is getting better, I just can't walk for long or it really starts hurting. It'll just take time. LOL...Sorry about the music!!!!

I didn't bother to see the Johnny Depp one, he looked too creepy in the ads. I'll stick with the old one. We're good with chocolate here at work, my student worker brought in two (!) huge bags for the chocolate bowl!
I'm trying out the Omega3, and you are right! I'm on day 3, and it's making a difference.

Donna said...

Jazzi- Depp was a little to...in depth with his character...I agree..lolol...And what a Wonderful student!!! He or She's a "keeper"!!
And Thank You for letting me know your results with Omega3!!! See? It Does work! hughughug!!!

Dannalie said...

I was running around the office today asking if anyone had chocolate! Thankfully I found a pack of M&Ms! Not quite Wonka...but did the trick.
Have a great night!

Donna said...

Chocolate saves the day again!! LOL
You be careful on your trip but have fun...(oxymoron)???LOL Just have fun!!!!

Hi Donna,

Yes, I can't watch the movie without eating some chocolate with it..lol, it just kinda goes with the movie doesn't it?? I preferred Gene Wilder too!!

"Omega3 helps a lot, we usually do not get our recommended dose daily. "But, I guess if (we) just ate fish regularly, we would get that dose, I am trying to eat more of it myself.

Have a wonderful day;-))

Donna said...

Jeannene- Gotta have that chocolate!! LOL I really should have researched this sooner! Omega# really does fill the bill! Thanks for stopping in!!!

debambam said...

See I totally enjoyed the Mr Depp version of Willy Wonka. I thought the darkness to both the character and the movie was great. It made it totally different to the original, which is still in fact one of my all time favorite movies!
Cheers, Kelly

Donna said...

Kelly- What endears me to the old one is when Charlie finally stand up to Wonka and gives him "what for"! The expression of Wonka's face is pure bliss!!lolol Loved it! Take care girl!!!
