Day 10 and ONE MORE DAY of HALLOWEEN!

Oct 30, 2010

This wasn't something I ever encoutered growing up on the West Coast, but we're now in the SOUTH, y'all (church on every corner), and because Halloween falls on a Sunday, it's been a huge "to do" about when Trick or Treating is.  Saturday or Sunday? Such an ordeal. 

Now...we do a big Dowtown merchant TorT on the Friday before Halloween, so that was two days ago.  Last night, we knew we were going to get TorTers and we did.  We had the candy out and were ready.  There's gonna be more TorTing tonight.  This is when we'll take our kids out because, well, it's HALLOWEEN! Anyway, I usually eat as much candy as I give out and I got the GOOD stuff this year but the smell of it pouring it into the big bucket actually made me feel a little ill.  I never really believed that I'd find things I loved previously totally disgusting until it started happening to me.  

That said, I still feel so weird that I haven't had any candy! It's almost like a mourning of sorts.  I know that at some point, if I can handle it and I want to, I can taste things like that, but that's not even the point.  I didn't really understand the idea of mourning food until now.

We did have fun carving pumpkins and so that didn't change.  What a trip this new life is going to be...
