13 Kinds of Candy I Shouldn't Have Eaten so Much Of Over Halloween

  1. York Peppermint Batties
    They were soooo cute! Peppermint Patties shaped like bats. Nicky kept asking for them by shouting "BAT" and then doing his impression of the Count from Sesame Street.
  2. Reeses' Pumpkins
    Peanut Butter Cups shaped like pumpkins.
  3. Hershey's Ghosts
    What can I say they were in the bag with the Batties and Pumpkins
  4. Mounds
  5. Almond Joys
    I had mad cravings for these when I was pregnant with the munchkin. Almost as mad as for mashed potatoes.
  6. Tootsie Rolls
    At least these are fat free. We won't talk about carbs, but they are fat free!
  7. Tootsie Pops
    Okay I only had two, and both of them had the little boy dressed as a Native American shooting his arrow at the star! Did y'all always say those wrappers were good luck or were we just wierd?
  8. Double Bubble Gum
    I love this stuff. The flavor lasts all of ten seconds but while it's there...man oh man!
  9. Cadbury Roasted Almond Bars
    Okay, this had nothing to do with Halloween, they just always seem to find their way into my basket at Walmart!
  10. Popcorn Balls!
    Oh I love these things! At least they only have 100 calories and are an excellent source of whole grain!
  11. Dots
    I only ate one mini box of those. They are so sticky and sweet they almost make my teeth hurt!
  12. Razzles!
    I had to eat some of these cause I'd never heard of them until 13 Going on 30. I loved that movie!
  13. Ummm.....I can't think of anymore! I'm sure there were others at some point! So let's go with something I'd like to eat if I could find some of...Pop Rocks!
    We used to sit at the ballpark watching our big brothers and sisters play and dissolve pop rocks in drinks and dare each other to drink them. Good times, man! Good times! hehehehe

We only took the girls to a zoo trick-or-treating that had a no-peanut policy. So that means no chocolate. All fruit candies. Boo! But my best friend's son is allergic, so I guess I can't complain too loudly!

Teen girls stayed home. Youngest went with friends, first year in 17 we weren't out knocking on doors.

And yes, the leftover Almond Joys *are* eyeing me this morning.

I'm still laughing about your co-workers, the smarty pants. That's too good!

I hid all our leftover candy (I've yet to see Peppermint Patties shaped like bats. Cool!) this morning because my dad's coming for lunch and if he sees the candy, he eats it. He even knows where I usually hide it, too!

They had Peppermint Patties shaped as bats? Cool!

I love Twix. My daughter got ONE--but at least it was a regular size and not those bite size things. :)

Peppermint Batties, Reese's Pumpkins and Hershey's Ghosts - man, I wish they'd made their way north of the border! I hear ya on the Almond Joy - I'm a chocolate-cocnut freak, myself.

Somehow, all five of the Butterfinger minis have now disappeared...into my tummy...'cause I know kidlet doesn't like them...I got obsessive and split her "haul" into two bowls: chocolate and non-chocolate. Less sorting during cravings LOL.

13 of my Favorite Quotes from Fiona O'Sithein I'm too darn sleepy to be creative tonight so I'm drawing on my ready-made list. Not to be confused with the one I did about the first lines of the chapters in Fiona. Those weren't nearly my favorites. Is it narcissistic to have favorite quotes that you wrote yourself? When I'm giggling my head off at something I wrote, my husband always looks at me kinda funny. Oh, well if it is, then here is me reveling in narcissism. :-D May you enjoy them as much as I do. 1. Fiona: “What? You think just because I don’t have any magic like my brother or super strength like you people that I’m useless?” 2. Bonnie: “He’s not a heretic, is he?” Fiona: “Isn’t everyone these days?” 3. Fiona: “No one wants to be the one to deflower the king’s daughter.” 4. Fiona: “Yes, Beltran, you’re a vampire. How could anyone forget it when you’re reminding them of it ten times a day? You are the only vampire I know who seems to obsess ab...

Thirteen Things that take My Breath Away 1. This little Guy... Need I say More? 2. Eden Falls at the Lost Valley This picture doesn't even remotely do it justice. The first time I saw Eden Falls was in the middle of the summer after a big rain storm so there was water absolutely gushing from it! It made getting into the cave at the top somewhat more difficult than usual, but it was absolutely beautiful. I had never seen anywhere like it in my life. I thought places like that only existed in wall calenders! 3. The Ocean The vastness of it. The sound of the waves. The smell of it. That humid, cool wind that blows off it. The way it moves. Pretty much everything about it! *Lesley desperately needs a trip to the beach* 4. The Ozark Mountains My home! The very first time I came here I just knew this was where I wanted to be. I grew up on the delta with nothing but rice fields and flat land as far as the eye can see. There is a place on the drive up the mountain where you come around a c...

Well, I had been planning on putting up 13 pictures from my vacation, but my computer crashed yesterday and has to go to the doctor. I hope they can fix it, because I haven't backed up those 450 pictures I took. :-( I did upload all the really cute ones of Nicky to snapfish though, so at least there is that. This brings me to the question I have for y'all...Does anyone have a good gremlin banishing ritual they would like to share with me??? Just this week, my fridge, my car and my computer have all stopped working. The car was just a battery problem, and it has been replaced. I still don't know what is wrong with the computer or the fridge yet though. Without pictures but still in honor of my vacation... 13 Things I Did in Denmark Fed the ducks, swans, and geese at Damhus Lake. Nicky loved this! He was absolutely entranced by the birds. His favorite part (and keep in mind, he is a boy) was throwing the bread so that it landed on the swans back and then laughing hyst...
