10.22.11

Greg's birthday this Wednesday marks the start of what I've fondly come to call "My Five Pound Season." It begins with birthday cake and continues with Halloween candy, Thanksgiving, more birthday cake, and oh yes, holiday delights.

I can't say that I enjoy those five pounds, although this year at least it's going to a good, "healthy" cause (growing a baby is a good cause, right?), and I shall try my best to keep my mitts off the two bags of candy I purchased (for our, on average, 8 trick-or-treaters) between now and next Monday.

A healthy bet would be that only one bag remains.
