Since it is Halloween today, I decided to do something really scary.

I broke out my pre-pregnancy pant collection to see if anything would fit.

Wouldn't you know it, 80% of them did NOT fit. It's my damn belly. My legs have gotten a little flabbier, but not exceptionally so. It's all the belly.

I need to get rid of the belly.

It's the worst feeling when you're putting on a pair of jeans and you're pulling them up over your legs thinking to yourself, "Hey! These might fit. They're going on pretty easy....". Then BOOM! You get them up to your hips and try to pull the button over to fasten and there is a big lump in the way. Even if you suck it WAAAAAAYYYYY in, it still doesn't help. There is just no way in hell that you can get the damn things fastened. Sigh.

Well, good news is that there were three pairs of jeans and two pairs of khakis that fit me. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

It should be interesting tonight. We should get some Trick-or-Treaters this Halloween. First time in a looooooong time. Back east our house was too far away from other houses for the kiddies to walk, so we got nobody.

I've got it all set up. Got my black cat and pumpkin pics up in my windows, got the candy in the bowl, got the plug-in jack-o-lantern ready to go, cleaned off the steps so the kids won't kill themselves. Bring 'em on!

I find that I always buy candy that I wanted to get as a kid. The number one candy item when I was out trick-or-treating were peanut butter cups. So, now I buy them every Halloween because of that.

I wonder if I am off track; that I am just proving my old-schoolness. Are peanut butter cups STILL the number one Halloween treat? Like, are they still coveted enough that you would pull a chair all the way across the kitchen to the refridgerator, and using a broom stick pull your sisters candy bowl close enough to the edge so that you can steal HER peanut butter cups since she is annoying enough to always SAVE all her candy until yours is all gone and then eat it in front of you?

Not that I ever did that. Noooooo, not me.
