A major weakness of mine is seasonal candy. Especially M&M’s! The Easter candy is in the stores. I have a huge weakness for carrot cake M&M’s and jellybeans. Here’s my thing with jellybeans though; why are certain colors softer than other colors? I am working on a bag of Starburst Jellybeans and the yellows and reds are all soft but the greens and oranges are borderline hard. Why are they not all the same? They all have the same ingredients, give or take a flavoring.
I was out last night and the girls were talking about Sweet Tart Bunny Gummies. They are supposed to be orgasmic! I haven’t tried them yet, but I am sure I will get sucked into that one too. Probably later today. Thankfully I don’t have this big an issue with Christmas or Halloween. It’s just Easter.
I also have issues with the different flavors of M&M’s. Carrot Cake and Candy Corn are TO DIE FOR!!! Gingerbread, Raspberry and Candied Apple-not so much. Cake Batter should be called Brownie Batter. Someone at M&M missed the ball on that one. I also heard there was a Red Velvet but I haven’t found it yet. The others, Coconut, Cherry, Peanut Butter, Pretzel, Crispy and Mint are like regular M’s to me. But Carrot Cake and Candy Corn, OH MY! I’m telling you I should be on the M&M taste panel, get free stuff and they should put my kids through college. I love M’s so much I have one tattooed on my leg! I have a watch, broke the sunglasses(sad), have toys, mugs, stuffed M’s, lights, keychains, and more. I even have an original bag of all green!! It’s a little bit of an obsession. I quit buying things years ago and now only get them as gifts, but people who know me keep bringing them!! LOVE IT! How can you not love something colorful, fun and delicious?
I took this past Tuesday off and drove from ND to WI to take my mom to the funeral of a good friend of hers. The funeral was held in the church that I grew up attending. It was like stepping into some weird time warp. All the same people were there just like when I was in middle school; only older. No one seemed to know who I was and if I was standing near mom they knew I was a daughter but not which one. I got mistaken for my younger sister a lot which is fine since she is younger! If I corrected them, then they assumed I was the oldest sister. The middle kid never exists. No wonder I was such a rebel as a teen, no one was even paying attention. One of mom’s friends, after they finally figured out which kid I was, asked if she should take me off the prayer chain. Mom, bless her heart, put me on her church’s prayer chain when I was sick and never took me off.
I don’t know if it was the passing of mom’s friend or the fact that tomorrow marks the 36th anniversary of the passing of my dad that made leaving mom so hard the other day. It hurt my heart to leave. I left a note for the lady that spends time with mom to make sure she keeps her preoccupied. Because I am aware of it, it will be a tough day to get past. As I’m sure it is with anyone who has lost a parent, some years are just worse than others. Since I left mom I feel drained. Exhausted, wore out, my eyes burn and feel heavy. I’m blaming the trip down and the emotional stress of having 3 funerals in a weeks time. My sister told me to have a good cry but I just can’t seem to let go. Probably because I might not stop. I hate that feeling. But like everything else, this too shall pass.
OK, on to more positive things!! It is supposed to be super freaking warm this weekend!! I want to try to get down to the spare room and re organize the lake stuff that goes back down to the boat. It should be thawed out soon! So excited. We need rain though. Last time we had a spring this dry, I lost my foundation so c'mon rain!!
Love and Hugs to you all!!
