Sometimes I get TOO excited over food....

See this photo of a piece of candy? Somebody put them in our boxes at work taped to Christmas cards.
Looks tasty, doesn't it?


As I stood chatting with a colleague that morning, I opened the candy (it's about two inches wide) and as it appeared to be sort of a soft peppermint, thought I'd have a nibble.


Now, do you see the WICK and the tooth mark (about the middle of the photo) where I tried to take said nibble?

Thank goodness it was too big to put in my mouth all at once.

Clearly, I need to pay more attention to what I attempt to eat.

  3. Oh my gracious! Not to fret....I would have tried to eat it too. Now what fool would make a candle look like something edible? That's just crazy and mean. The thought was kind, but I'm willing to bet that you are not the only one who made the same mistake.

  6. That's too funny. But I'll admit, I would have taken a bite too! I bet the look on your face when you realized your mistake was priceless! Have a wonderful weekend. Kathy

  7. OK - too funny about the candy! To bad Roy is gone or you could have shared that one with him - he'd have worked you out for an extra 30 min. - well maybe 15 min. - for that one!

    I ordered the apple thingy on the table from Williamsburg Manor - it was about $30 or so and is super easy to use! And, I could not wait to do the wreaths on my chairs - I've been eyeing that pic in Ballard's for months!

    Just read your tribute to Mrs. Ruth - Meghan's kindergarten teacher was Mrs. Bunce - sounds just like your Mrs. Ruth. I really hated to hear when Mrs. B retired - even I brushed my teeth extra hard after kindergarten orientation and Mrs. B's "class rules"! Meghan went to private school 'til 5th grade and it was OK to talk about hygiene.

    Happy Holidays to you and all your family!
