brave the cold

oh my puny ponytail...

It was cold today, windy and icy and all sorts of nipply.
Did I just say nipply?
I sure did.
Welcome to the inside of my 15 year old brain.

I can't stop eating, and all of it is crap.
It started with the caramel corn and then once I finished that off I started working my way through a couple bags of Halloween candy.
I will say it once and maybe a few more times later just for impact.

Halloween is of the devil.

And how!

I had to get out of the house, away from Satan's chocolate.
So in spite of all the freaking freezingness
I packed up my little Nublet, slapped a leash on the dippy dog and off we did go.
ah blessed exercise, 'tis good for the soul
and better for the body (that subsists entirely on mini candy bars)
even in the frigid tundra
I mean mountain

I need to remember that I grew up in Wyoming son,
where you plug your cars in because it gets so cold you have to do that stuff
where your boogers freeze the second your face meets fresh air
on days like today we would have been out washing our cars wearing swimsuits or something
downright balmy if you ask me

except that was a long time ago
(thank goodness)
and I'm not so much into booger freezing if I can avoid it
and now I have to go and say a prayer of thanks that I don't have to plug my car in anymore
THE END

psssttt... guess who likes Halloween candy too??

You sure are cute.

I went out with good intentions of running in the cold today but the wind & rain ruined it for me. You can have two of the three but three of the three means go home and take a nap instead.

Kalli I saw your blog on Britt's blog - too cute girl. I like a lotsa. Satan's chocolate indeed. I guess I am a devoted follower now. :-)

My weakness is swedish fish and mini twix. With occasional substitutions if I need variety (who doesn't?).

now if cadbury got together with halloween and made halloween mini eggs- then i would have to say that satan made halloween himself. thank goodness we are gone this year- no excuse/reasoning with myself that all of 15 kids in lj are gonna need 3 bags of sweets.

kkrich said...

oh and at least you HAVE SEASONS- enjoy!

The boogers freezing thing- so true! When we lived in Russia, whatever was lining your nostrils froze solid with every breath. It's the weirdest feeling! I do miss the snow and cold...

Ashley said...

I loved this post and I love that you're from booger freezing Wyoming. What do you mean plug you car in??? Should I know what that means? lol.

Christina said...

Booger freezing?! Can't say I've ever encountered that one...of course we don't get much cold down here in Texas. It's "cold" to me when it dips into the 60's around here....
Way to go for getting out and taking a walk though! My giant lazy bum should do the same thing every now and then :)
And yes, Halloween is the devil. I think they put crack in candy corn.

Kalli Ko said...

Ash, you literally plug your car in! Like a hybrid before hybrids were cool. I guess it's to keep the engine block from freezing or whatever.

I am on a crap-eating-kick myself: Nestle Crunch and Hershey Nugs w/Toffee chips... and french fries. Hey, Winter-insulation, right? ;)

Brittney said...

I've eaten an entire bag of candy corn. My teeth hurt.

Mrs. Organic said...

The worst thing about Halloween is the clearance-priced chocolate the day after.

Yes, I can eat a bag of mini PB cups all by myself.

Sheans said...

I remember those Wyoming days too. Oh, how I remember them.... We used to have to jump out of the car while it was still driving because if we stopped, it would die.

Those are some precious memories, my friend.

Yes, exercise is good for the soul as well as the derrière. I wish I could make myself run more than once a week. I love Reese's Pieces and Butterfingers. I have to put them straight under the bed when I buy them for the trick or treaters otherwise I eat it all.

Kim said...

Ok, I totally shouldn't tell you this, but on the back of the caramel package there is a recipe for chocolate covered caramel corn. Um, yeah. i want to make that.

I am so proud of you for getting out of the house and exercising. My exercise these days consists of chasing children to try to get them to clean up their rooms.

Your day will come, oh yes it will. ;)

coryshay said...

too bad I wasn't there to brave the cold wichoo...I desperately need the exercise

ps. word verification: unmen

does that require surgery?

Sarah said...

Nublet = freaking cute in that coat!!!!!
You = dead to me for not bringing me any of this so called caramel corn you've been talking about.

Teri said...

It is scary how easy it is to eat a whole bag of kit kats...very scary.
I used to go outside when I was little an sniff really hard and try to get my nostrils to stick because of the "booger freezing" cold....good times. :)
Happy Halloween!
