i just had a sweet little surprise. the UPS lady showed up and handed me a package. i wasn't expecting anything and was beginning to panic a bit, thinking i had ordered something and forgotten all about it, automatically trying to figure out if i had set aside money for WHATEVER it was OR perhaps i had forgotten to mail back a book club order form marked, "nothing this time"

turns out it was a big bag of halloween candy from m&m's saying i was "booed" by red and yellow! a very clever advertising gimmick. there is a small halloween bag along with the rest and instructions to take some of the candy and "boo" a neighbor and friend and to include a greeting from m&m in the bag.

neat idea, nice to have a little fun and if that fun includes chocolate, well so much the better. how'd they know i get warm and fuzzy and "excited" when plied with chocolate? my reputation must be growing, ho, ho!!!! s
