Goodies

This is my favorite time of year (well, almost). Spring is on the horizon. The weather is getting warmer. Soon the flowers will be blooming and the birds will be singing. Baseball is starting up again. And it's also time for some of my favorite culinary treats: Girl Scout cookies and Easter candy.

I got my shipment of cookies yesterday from my niece (thanks, Gracie!). I like to stock up since we only get them once a year. I'm trying to pace myself, but it's not easy.

And then there's the Easter candy. Oh, how I love Easter candy. So far I've eaten about ten Cadbury cream eggs and three packages of the mini eggs. Don't shake your head at me. I'm not proud of it.

Editor's note: Since my mother apparently thought I was a huge glutton when she read this, I need to clarify that I did not in fact eat all of that candy in one sitting. I just meant that's how much I've eaten since the Easter candy went on sale (you know, two weeks before Valentine's Day). And I'm proud to say that I haven't had one piece of Easter candy in the past week! Of course, I do need to stop at CVS on my way home....
