Tempting Diabetes

In anticipation of the parade of dressed-up kiddies this week, I had bought four big boxes of Halloween candy: Nibs, Oh Henry, KitKat, Smarties, Reese - all the good stuff. Being home all day every day since last Tuesday, I ended up eating an entire box myself and had to replenish. Everytime I passed the basket I grabbed a handful, and everytime I said out loud to myself "last one". By the time the trick-or-treaters started showing up around 7:00 last night, I was actually a bit worried that we wouldn't have enough. Well, two hours and a measly twentysome kids later - we were still left with a good 200 chocolate bars.

So - if you don't hear from me again, know that I've developed diabetes and died in my sleep, if I ever manage to fall asleep again.
