You really want to be scared? Read if you dare.

I have suffered from a blogger block this week. I had, until this moment, no idea what to please my nine readers with. I considered telling you about my husband I's trip to Hallo-Marine (at the Jenks aquarium), but there really wasn't much to tell. To sum it up, you really need to have a kid to go to these things. I am thinking of looking into borrowing one for certain kid-geared events (Halloween and Easter). It would keep quizzical, judgemental glances from being directed our way. You know these people are wondering whether A. We misunderstood what the event was, or B. We are those creepy "Hey kid, want a ride?" people. Aside from the uncomfortable looks, my husband managed to smooth talk his way into a purse-ful (my purse, of course) of chocolate treats and I got to see some fish. Overall, win-win I suppose

What I really want to "scare" you with is some Halloween candy fun facts. I have a "love-hate" relationships with the folks at Eat This, Not That! on Twitter. They provide me with quality information and quite shocking nutritional/caloric information about meals at popular dining establishments. I love them because they help the waistline, but detest them entirely for ruining my complete enjoyment of certain meals because I am paranoid about how many thousand calories I am consuming. They recently tweeted some super scary facts about that delicious Halloween candy that is so tempting. Enjoy....

Three Reese's Peanut Butter Cups = More sugar than a glazed donut
Nine Twizzlers = Wendy's Double Stack burger
Butterfinger "Fun Size" = 100 calories
3 "Mini" Twix = 150 calories

From the Cooking Light website:

Assorted Hershey's Minis (1 mini) = 42 calories (Personally, I feel compelled to sample one of each)
Mounds Snack Size Bar = 80 calories
Kit Kat Snack Size = 70 calories
Reese's Pieces Snack Size = 67 calories

Now, who had AT LEAST one of each last night? =) Scary, right?

Oh, well...the holiday season is upon us. Throw on your expandable waist, stretchy pants and oversized sweaters! Thanksgiving here we come!
