I don’t know how it happened, really. I was putting the Halloween candy in the big pot, just getting it ready for the visitors who will drop in later tonight, when suddenly, out of nowhere, a ghost took possession of my body and began cramming yummy, crispy chocolate things in my mouth.
After the exorcism was completed, I was stunned to find a half-eaten bag of candy on my desk – right next to my yoga statue.
That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. Got that, Mr. Andi?

Okay, if Andi can't control herself, there's no hope for me!
LOL! I love the downward dog helping out there. Crazy how these things happen! This is the exact reason why there is no candy in my house. Although I suppose I could use the ghost excuse. I am sure the doggies would back me up on that one. :D
I must say I have had that same possession..it must be going around.. Candy givers BEWARE!
Yep. I think it is completely explainable. At my house it is "one for the trick-or-treaters and one for Tressa." :)
Halloween IS dangerous! I haven't bought our candy yet…
At least it wasn't a tub of buttercream frosting. besides hasn't Mr. Andi ever heard of the Halloween Gobblin? they leave candy wrappers all over the house!
LOL! I could probably make you a deal to exchange those candy bags for… oh say Chocolate Raspberry Muffins? Not a lot of help, am I? :oP
Halloween Gobblin?? So thats were all my kid's mini Snickers went to. And they said it was me taking them.
my neighbor snapped a picture of me last night dressed up as a witch outside passing out candy while i was happily munching away on candy stolen from my own cauldron :D
instead of saying 'happy halloween' to our little ones i changed it to 'happy sugar rush!'
That's ALOT of ballet-booty-yoga (or whatever you call it) to do now!! Maybe your new friend will let her dog take you for a nice walk to get rid of all of the crispy chocolaty thingies.
I make sure the candy I buy is from varieties I don't like. That way the kids get it. Chocolate is too much temptation during deployments, especially 3 Musketeers. I never could eat just one!!!!!!!!!!!!
hehehe, since I walked with my child and therefore nobody was home, I decided to take my candy in a basket with us, with the intention to pass it out…well, while walking some of them got emptied somehow, there were so many empty wrappers…oh well, I guess I ate them.
