Ack! I loathe cold calling with a passion.

Also? Are opiates indicated for viruses? I could use some of that. Bless the Tussin people for putting cough meds in a capsule finally though. Not that it seems to be helping but man do I not miss the gagging dry heaves that tasting that stuff gives me.

So sorry that you and Hec and EM have so much to deal with but it is heartening to see adults being, you know, adult.

Ok, I'm like, really upset about a silly thing.

One of the games I had planned for The Shower was guessing how much a jar of pink and brown (the theme colors) M&M's weighed. Whatever the person guessed (for instance, 8.5 lbs), would be their guess for the baby weight on the baby pool. (With me so far?)

Ok. So the pink and brown M&M's? TEN FREAKING BUCKS A POUND! I have a 1-gallon jar to fill, so I'm looking at around $70 to fill the jar!!!

Can't afford it, can't figure out what to put in the jar.

Jelly Bellies? (Not that I have any idea what they cost a pound, but there are plenty of pinks and browns to choose from.)

(Yes, still procrastinating on cold calls. Though I have made 5, and one appt. for an interview.)

Jelly Bellies are $8/lb, sadly.

Seriously, not enough booze in all the worlds.

I'd be much more likely to end up wearing the candy thong and no one wants that.

Get a smaller jar.

Is the jar going to be a prize? Cause if not, you could put something in it that wasn't necessarily food.

Gumballs and malted milk balls?

Or, a smaller jar with M&Ms or Jelly Bellies, ask people to guess how many there are, and their guesses are then their weight guesses in grams.

You could fill the jar with rocks. Or maybe Captain Crunch with crunch berries.

Okay now I want Captain Crunch.

Wait my steak just arrived. It is dinner time at the hotel bar.

Now I want steak with ground-up Captain Crunch sprinkled on top.
