So Halloween has come and gone. And apparently so has the 375 chocolate bars I bought as well. Gone. Vanished. Disappeared faster then able bodies when the windows need washing. I hauled out the boxes from their hiding place last night in preparation for the trick-
or-treaters and discovered a small hole in the corner of one of them. And 50 (yes, I counted) bars missing. That is right. MISSING. What do I have to do???? Hide the freakin' boxes in my underwear drawer???!! Maybe I should have hidden them next to the window washing equipment....
Fortunately I had bought lots and there was enough for our little treat-or-treaters.
Corey decided this w
ould be his last year trick-or-treating. I have fond memories when he went out as a cute little lion, and even cuter mouse, a swashbuckling pirate, an interesting mad scientist but this year 'cute' was not on the agenda and he went out as a very scary creature. Gene Simmons in full KISS regalia. He created his costume mostly from odds & ends from his brother's bedrooms and Bruno painted his face. If anyone has need for black lipstick, black nail polish, or studded bracelets...CALL ME!!!

I am sure that the 63 empty candy wrappers in his bedroom wastepaper basket had nothing to with it.
But back to me.....I went to the dentist today....some specialist with a fancy medical name but a plain boring office with outdated magazines. Apparently they meant it when they said four years ago that I needed a root canal. Who knew? Now there is an ugly accompanying infection which will require multiple appointments. (My name really should be CathyEmily Queen of Procrastination but I have never gotten around to changing it). But hey, the earliest they can fit me in is next year. Which leaves me with this pressing question: Can I or can I not eat the Halloween candy???? Thank you. That's why you are my friends. Those of you who may have replied with a cautious 'You'd better not' should go back and read my initial post about tofu-soya-kelpsmoothie-flaxloving-Birkenstock wearing folk.
I realize that Halloween has now passed, though barely; I can still smell chocolate on most people's breath and let's face it, those aren't soya nuts in everyone's lunch bag today, BUT at work this morining they were playing CHRISTMAS music!!!! WTH???!!! NOVEMBER 1st??!!! Rudolph should really be trying to book an appointment with Dr.Phil not guiding Santa's sleigh around this freakin' early. And Frosty is still way up high on some mountain top not frolicking around in the centre of town annoying traffic cops. I think someone must have complained (probably the PMS'ing lady in accounting who is dieting and abstained from chocolate) and thankfully, blissfully, the following hour the Christmas music was gone and the generic blend of 'feel good' music was back.
