No tricks or treats?

Sadly - I am now the proud owner of 3 large bags of Snicker Mini's.

Why am I sad?

Because now I have to eat them. Yes -I have to eat them! They are sitting there in the shiny little packages. Its like Christmas everytime I hear the crackle of the foil. I swear I can smell the chocolate thru the paper. Mmmmmmm.

Uhhhhh, ok, back to the story.

Why may you ask do I have 3 bags of tasty, wonderful goodness?

I know that it's my "special" time and no, I didn't buy them just to gorge on my favorite candy bar over the weekend.

Halloween nite - I got zero, zilch, nada children. I have kids on my block. They are next to me, across from me , caddy corner to me. But not one knocked on the door. I turned on my lights. HB even put out a wicker pumpkin to let them know we were Halloween friendly. Sure it rained - but...I had good candy, damn it.

I have it on good authority that the kids walked a couple of blocks to the "BIG" houses. These are the homes that you need a Phd or be a lottery winner to live in. Yes - the street is well lit. Yes, they tend to give out full size candy bars. Yes, it does seem to be a 'social' thing as mothers and father bring a cocktail with them and 'chat' along the way.

But - I had good candy. It not like I was giving out smarties or good forbid...Toothpaste!!!

I am feeling shunned and forgotten and a little hungry....

Hey, pass the candy.

Halloween was a bust. I bet we didn't get 20 kids after all. If you run out of candy before Thursday, let me know and I'll bring you some.

J thinks that Snickers is the breakfast of champions. Do not - I repeat do not bring anymore candy. Were all zipping on sugar highs and as soon as we come down we will realize we should have just rubbed them on our thighs.
