I could take or leave Halloween, but I do like candy. So I went to the local store and perused their Halloween aisle. All costumes were 50% off (ugly and plastic masks). There was cute costume for a princess type deal, except it was sized for a toddler. And since I’m no longer capable of fitting toddler-sized clothing or willing to have a child for the sake of putting them in a pink princess outfit, I obviously didn’t get it.

Instead, I got a 1kg (2.2lbs!) bag of candy (it’s a mix that contains lollipops, soft taffy, hard taffy and assorted hard candies) and a bag of Tootsie Rolls because I couldn’t resist. I spent under $5 for the entire thing (regular price would have been nearly $10). Yay for 50% off Halloween stock. My sister purchased a box of 50 mini chocolate bars for $5 (hmm, 10-cent-mini-chocolate-bar).

Anyways, the word count is currently at 11,009. I’m hoping to hit somewhere between 15,000 and 20,000 today.
