pre-halloween candy update : same as it ever was

This year I got my act together and bought all our Halloween candy several weeks in advance. This stands in stark contrast to my well established candy buying routine, whereby I spend my lunch hour on the 31st running out to scrounge around for the last 6 or 7 bags of reject candy left on the shelves at Target. Those of you familiar with this routine will know that this means I usually get stuck passing out a bunch of Almond Joys and those little Hershey bars with almonds in them. I know, gross.
But not this year. This year I'm all set. I went early and I went often and when I did, I tossed bag after bag of The Candy Kids Want into my cart. And then I brought it home. And then, over the next few weeks, I pretty much ate all of it. I just sat here and tried to do the math and I'm pretty sure I've eaten something like 750 mini twix and/or fun-sized kit-kats over the last two weeks. That's gotta be a record!
In other news, sorry kids, the good candy's gone. Hope you like coconut. Whoops.
