Once you take a break from blogging, it can be hard to get back into it. You end up waiting until you have something EPIC to post about. And how often does that come along?

Happy Halloween, everyone! :D

Well-meaning strangers are no longer responsible for my candy supply . . . but that doesn't mean I can't wax self-indulgent nostalgic about the good treats and the bad.

What made you shriek with joy when you dumped out your bag at the end of the night? What earned a grumbled "thank you" and a vow never to visit that ( Read more... )
