M & M's and lousy baseball

Not a great day for me.

My team got their asses spanked last night & I have a new addiction..
M & M peanuts…..oh sure they are gluten free but not good for me.

My husband bought Halloween candy this year.
There is a damn good reason why he never has done this before.
I normally buy it every year and I buy candy I don’t like for a reason.
I buy Snickers, Reese peanut butter cups, Kit-kat bars other things I will not eat.
Normally we buy the full size bars from Costco but this year money is tight so we discussed buying Halloween size candy this year and not be as popular as in previous years on the block.

I guess since we discussed this he figured while he was at Costco picking up a Rx he could just pick some up….which is thoughtful kind of….
I really hate when Rick goes to Costco alone because they sell lots of stuff in big amounts. It’s a manly store with big ole sides of beef that he can’t walk away from and bricks of cheese the size of his head so when he walks in there he goes ape shit nuts.
But I digress…. I will tell you some of the escapades another time….back to Halloween.

Numbnuts brings home the variety pack of candy the size of Rhode Island from Costco.
Doesn’t he know that I can rummage through this until I find something I like?
Don’t you think after 22 years he would have figured out that I can hear candy call my name no matter how high you put this enormous bag? (I have step stools goof ball)

Yes I am short, 5’2” and hubby is 6’2” so he thinks if the candy is high I won’t eat it. HA!
The damn fool believed me when I told him that. But last night I kept hearing little whispers of, “Peggy eat me, eat me, up here, c’mon get me, Peggy eat me.”
How can you resist this I ask you?
(Honestly it wasn’t Rick saying those things either – he was already snoring in his chair)

So last night during the horrifically embarrassing game I hit that bag like a raccoon to a garbage can. He and the dog snored as I gained 5lbs from sugar and nuts.
So wonderful for my health issues I know. I ate 8 of them….8!! I am a pig.
While there may only be 4 in each of those mini bags that is still 32 chocolate covered peanuts I unconsciously ate while screaming at my TV.

I waddled upstairs feeling sick from M & M’s and my team’s lousy play.

I am feeling like shit today.
Anyone got any Ben and Jerry’s that may help settle my tummy?

ha ha ha...i love how you referred to your husband as "numbnuts." ha. please tell me you call him that to his face occassionally.

ive been snacking on candy for about a week so i plan on giving away all of our halloween candy to trick or treaters. our street doesnt get a lot of action so this may mean that the girl across the street is going to get 160 pieces of candy.

Of course I call him that to his face! The other day he called me Sugar Shorts. That made me laugh out loud.

He is reading over my shoulder and he is laughing that you thought I wouldn't call him that to his face.
***If Katie B. is reading this she can vouch for me on that one -

BTW I ate a cup of brown rice for dinner for penance tonight. (and water)I made him move the M & M's to the garage. I'm too lazy to go out there for them....for now.

I hate candy.

We still don't buy any until the day of Halloween or the kids (being 5"2 and under as well will use the step stools to find it.)

YOU HATE CANDY???????

I don't think I have ever met anyone who didn't like candy. Not even really good decadent austrian chocolate? Ooh I so wish I was like that. Really?

i wish i hated candy.

jay and i are big on name calling too. sometimes we get creative, but i find that the classic "dummy" can be just as good. as in: "hey dummy, were you planning on putting your shoes away?"

i also like fartknocker and douche nozzle. i need to work in some numbnuts.

I'm the same way. Chocolate I do not consider junk. Even if it is M&M's! Ryan heads off to the co-op and gets this Belgian chocolate in bulk. You know, the kind that the hunks are the size of your fist. He and I can eat 4 hunks in one sitting. It's sad. But delish.

Margaret (Peggy or Peg too) said...

oh Jess yes! Belgium Chocolate!!
Mmmmm....that just gave me an O.

There was this great place in Issaquah called Bohems Candy. Oh. My. God. Some of the best damn chocolate ever.I got a tour and got all this free chocolate and I was such a happy girl/woman. They had a private party there through my wor, kwith pairings of wine and chocolate. Mm...That is what I believe heaven will be. Wine and Chocolate
