Question

Why must the Candymakers of America stock the store shelves with Easter candy a good month in advance?

I was able to avoid the Valentine's bombardment because that stuff was only around for a few weeks.

My willpower is weakening. I haven't purchased anything. I don't just buy candy just to buy it.... But, it's flirting with me every single time I step into the grocery store.
(obvious solution: no more grocery shopping. Hmmm...)

Especailly since you all know my love of the Reese's mini eggs--the perfect ratio of chocolate to PB. And Whoppers Robin's Eggs.

Lord help me.

I think I might turn into a Whopper Easter Egg this year. It was a close call and escape last year- this year looks like the odds are turning in the eggs favor! Stay strong lady!!

I've already fallen into the Cadbury Mini Egg abyss. Seems like a triple whammy this time of year, between the Girl Scout & Easter temptations.

Just had a Cadbury egg last night.

I feel your pain.

If you find yourself purchasing anything, you can always just Fed-Ex it to me. Still waiting on my brownies. ;)

I love these little marshmallows bunnies in a lavender wrapper...I call them "my purple bunnies". We were at the store over the weekend and my husband asks "So, how many purple bunny boxes have you gone through already?" He knows I hide them at work and wont bring them homw...4 boxes down already. :)

oh girl I feel your pain- I couldn't avoid it any longer when I went to Target last week. I bought the Reeses eggs (although they have like 3 or 4 different kind... hard shell, small and wrapped, or large and wrapped. Either way- they are delicious to me!) and I bought some "Jolly Rancher" jelly beans, I don't even really like jelly beans, but every easter I have to buy them! And don't think I wont be going back for some more. blasted candy!

Sorry that's my fault. They are taking pitty on a poor giant pregnant girl by supplying peeps in every possible color 100 millions days before Easter. I am loving it!

It is not just supermarkets it is everywhere. I get mesmerized by the isle in Walgreens when I go there to grab something random I need.
