zomg. I live for today. Well. No. But my diets live for today. xD

I confused the heck out of a grocery store employee the other day by referring to National Cheap Candy Day. She thought it was a real holiday. :) But once she got it, she realised it was a recurring thing on February 15th and November 1st. XD

And the day after Easter (I'm a huge Cadbury Creme Egg fan, once got a hold flat of 48 for free after Easter).

Oh, that was me.

Oh yea, I forgot about that. XD

I'm craving for the Cadbury eggs already. ._.

Lmao. It SHOULD be a national Holiday. But then no one would be open to sell the candy... >_> Unless its a holiday like President's Day or something like that... xD We'd all be stoofing our faces with candy all day long. xD

But then you couldn't go to the bank, to get money to buy the cheap candy.

Doh! I didn't even think about that! I guess I'd have to use a credit card... to buy cheap candy. lmao. xD

The best thing is half priced chocolate covered strawberries, which I am pretty sure was my comment on an earlier NCCD, as I am semi-remembering you don't like them.

Yeah, strawberries are not my thing. I can tolerate them if they're ripened on the (vine? bush? whatever strawberries grow on) and drenched in something very sweet, but store-bought ones are, like store-bought tomatoes, flavorless at best and downright nasty at worst. Although I'd rather have store-bought strawberries than artificial strawberry flavor, which is even worse. XP

Eww, no I don't do strawberry flavor. And I usually make my own chocolate strawberries. (Go farmer's markets.) But when I worked the late shift at Kmart we would grab the strawberries at midnight, so they were half off but still fresh. Not the best ever, but still pretty good :)

That has to do with variety, not ripening. Strawberries don't respond to ethylene gas the way that tomatoes and other veggies do, so they have to be picked & sold fresh. Since high sugar content promotes rapid spoilage, commercial strawberry cultivars are bred for high yield, shipping tolerance, and moderate sugar levels.

Ah, interesting to know. :)

Why did I start tracking my calories this week? Why?

The bright side is, if you eat nothing but lettuce all day that's, like, twelve calories so you can splurge on an entire bag of candy.

OK, so your teeth will rot out and your blood chemistry will be so wonky you'll develop diabetes on the spot and your arteries will explode from the fat BUT YOU'LL BE UNDER YOUR CALORIE COUNT!

Calories? What is this fat stuff you speak of?

*flees beatings*

Hee! Yes! But I also have to factor in my family's plan to eat Thai food for lunch. Oh my god, do you know how many calories are in Phad Thai? It is so tasty, it is so good, I should not eat the whole damn plate, but I probably will.

mmmm, candy... :D *wanders off to find some*

Me, I'm just waiting for Godiva to put their Valentine's products on sale. Usually takes 'em a bit longer.

A woman with her priorities straight! :)

HELL yeah!

Ye Crow has been burbling for the past week or so about The Ides Of February.

I never did "get it", until she explained it to me. *feels dumb*
