Day: March 8, 2006

So, the most adorable reps in the world just dropped off bags of candy for each of us in Ye Olde Media Department. And when I say bags? I mean DOUBLE-BAGGED bags.

-1 8-pack of Almond Joy snack size candy bars
-A similar big pack of Nestle snack size candy bars, which I immediately traded with Kristin for her Almond Joys
-1 8-pack of Butterfinger snack size candy bars
-1 10-pack of Snickers snack size candy bars
-1 10-pack of Twix snack size candy bars
-3 Bags of Jelly Bellys, one in “Tropical”, one in “Sours” (Woo!) and one in “30 Flavors”
-Two handfuls of Smarties
-1 “medium” (14 oz) bag of Peanut M&Ms
-1 “medium” (14 oz) bag of Regular M&Ms

Holy crap. Take the above times three, and that’s how much candy is now floating around. Today’s blog entries have been brought to you by the chemical compound SUGAR and its favorite cousin, CHOCOLATE.

Him: Did you ever get those cherry Hershey’s kisses?
Me: Yeah! I got them last week at Knit Night.
Him: (Mock Horror noise) And you didn’t SHARE them with me?
Me: I haven’t even opened the bag yet.
Him: You hoard things. You do this all the time. And then you never eat them. We have candy in the pantry from last year.
Me: Well, yes.
Him: And then you’re going to not eat these, and then they’re going to get all white and nasty.
Me: That’s exactly my plan. Because once they’re like that, I’m going to PELT you with them.

(We opened the bag last night. YUM! These are a special, limited edition Cherry Cordial Hershey Kisses, and they’re only at SAM’s club, to which we don’t belong. Thanks to Peg for buying them for us!)
