A couple months back when I was in “busy season” at work I told Andy how stressed out and exhausted I was that day. He always asks “What can I do to help?” Usually my response is “Oh, nothing…I just need to vent.” That day, however, I wanted chocolate. I wouldn’t really say that I’ve had cravings being pregnant, but I have more-so taken the opportunity to give into my usual urges which are primarily focused around chocolate. So, I asked him to bring me something chocolate on his way home from work. I didn’t mean the whole aisle of chocolate, but Andy’s a bit extreme. This is what I got:

A whole smorgasboard of chocolate!

Another similar stressful day around that same time, without asking for anything, he brought me brownies, a smiley face cookie and flowers…

What a guy.

No wonder my bump is growing, growing, growing!!!

I had a craving for a bit of chocolate yesterday so I ran downstairs and dug into our candy buffet supplies. Out of the 60+ pounds of candy I thought we could spare a few pieces. I poked around awhile looking at all the fun candy we had. It was still mostly boxed up so I began to organize and assemble a mock candy table. It appears I need to get some more containers because there’s quite a bit left and I ran out of room!

Putter ran down to check on me so the two of us sampled the Sour Patch Kids and Bit ‘o Honey. Then I sampled some of the chocolates. And a few more chocolate. (And took a couple pieces back upstairs with me when I left.) I really wanted to tear open the Fun Dip but I didn’t. And I couldn’t keep my hands of the giant whirly pops. I don’t even want to eat them. I just like looking at ‘em. For the first time in my life I think I felt a true sugar high…and it gave me a headache.   But it sure tasted good!

For all you other brides who are having or had a candy buffet (a/k/a a “candy bar”), did you dip in your stash or were you able to contain yourself? (And if so….HOW???)
