Save Me From The Candy!

This is what is on my kitchen counter right now. I don't think the picture captures the sheer volume of candy. There's SO EFFING MUCH OF IT! And I didn't make hubby hide it before he left for the day (read: I am still recovering from the party Saturday night, and didn't wake up until long after he'd left this morning and therefore was unable to demand that he hide it from me). Last night is a sugary haze, but I do recall a chocolate free-for-all, followed by a potato chip orgy. Apparently my band took Halloween off. Or maybe she was just dressed up like a regular stomach. She's so cheeky!

And so...in an effort to keep my Cheeto-stained fingers out of the candy bowl, I blog. I'll tell you about my Halloween party on Saturday night. This party is the party of the year. The couple who throw it are bonafide Halloween FREAKS! The ENTIRE house is re-decorated in scary. It was a blast! Mr. Kotter was there, and Olivia Newton John, circa. Physical. The "dick in a box" guys showed up, ABBA was there (which was my personal favourite!), of course, Snookie! There was a 70's male porn star, a belly dancer (who was NOT me! Crazy!) and the chick from Avatar. Also, Mr. T showed up. Fantastic! There were more, but I can't remember them right now because of all the damage to my brain cells courtesy of WAY too much red wine and shots of Jagermeister (why why why?) As for me, I dressed up as Mia Wallace (Pulp Fiction) after the OD. Please note the syringe stuck to my chest and the line of blood from my nostril...and if you look close you can see the "coke" around my nostrils...which gave me a lovely baby powder aroma for the evening! It was a fun night. I spent the whole night dancing with ABBA. Which is a far cry from last year, when I did nothing. I also want to note that this year, I took the boys trick-or-treating, while the hubs stayed home and shelled out. Last year, I sat my remarkably larger ass in a (sturdy) lawn chair and handed out treats while HE got to take the boys out. This year was much much MUCH better! And come to think of it, THAT is going to be the reason I'm going to keep my chubby fingers out of the candy bowl today. Good reason!
