So, yeah, sometimes you just need to put things into perspective right? If you do you can head over to Despair, Inc.  You can choose from a huge selection that will have you laughing until your head hurts - or you can make your own (see above).  They also have calendars, mouse pads, t shirts - whatever you need to spread a little joy to the rest of mankind. And subtly tell your coworkers to get their panties out of a bunch . . .

Here's one of my favorites, something I can really aspire to . . .

Summer to me, means being outside late, cooking over fires and what better to make over a fire than s'mores!!! The traditional s'more is made by toasting a marshmallow then layering it on top of a square of chocolate between two graham crackers - simple delight!  But, if you're looking to shake things up a bit as summer goes on, there's no end to the s'more variations!

ROBINSON CRUSOES: Spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter onto 2 graham crackers, then sandwich 1 toasted marshmallow between them - these can be made with or without the chocolate.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE: Sandwich a toasted marshmallow between 4 thin squares of chocolate and 2 chocolate-covered graham crackers. (consider drizzling chocolate sauce over the whole thing!)

THIN MINT SMORES: Chocolate mints tend to be thin, so they melt exceptionally well. Toast the marshmallow, then sandwich it between 2 thin chocolate mints and 2 graham crackers.

DOWN AND DIRTY SMORE: Place a toasted marshmallow between 2 chocolate-covered cookies (like  Fudge striped Shortbread, Chocolate covered Mint Cookies, Chocolate covered peanut butter Cookies).

OREO S'MORES: Separate the two side of the cookie, having no concern whether or not the white filling  is on one side or the other.  Place a toasted marhmallow between the cookies along with a half of a miniature size Mr. Goodbar.

Feeling a sugar rush? How about a fruity s'more?
