Found The Halloween Candy

Just was talking to a girlfriend, Ruth, who I went to college with and love to chat with, we were going on and on. She's also a writer and a great one, so there's no end to stuff we can discuss.

But then ...

I found the leftover Halloween candy. I always hide it away from my son and suddenly find it some place strange.

I said, "I gotta go, I found the Halloween candy." She knows the drill. We're both moms. You have to steal the stuff before the kids get home and catch you with it.

It's been picked pretty clean. Kitkats -- gone. Twix -- gone. Plain Hershey Chocolate Bars -- gone.

Unfortunately, just a lot of Hershey's with Almonds. Not a favorite around here ... but they'll do in a pinch.
