Some other things I saw today.

This is made out of little lego hats.

I was going to eat here, but the line looked like I would have had to wait there for about 7 hours.

I also went into a place called Dylan's Candy Bar.

Let me paint you a picture.

Imagine Willy Wonka's original shop. Before he built a factory. When he was making his candy in the back of a shop and selling it in the front. Do you have a picture of this in your head? What that shop would look like?

That's what Dylan's Candy Bar looks like.

There are MANY bright colors, exciting music about candy, and old candy commercials playing on the television.

Also, instead of terrifying oompa loompas, the workers are nice people who tell you they like your sheep sweater.

Candy stairs.

Chewy stuffed animals

This shirt is reall blurry, but I liked it a lot.

Broken Heart(s).

Maybe I have mentioned this before, maybe not, but I absolutely LOVE conversation hearts.

However. I am very particular about which ones I love. I like all, but I love the boxed Sweethearts of old. The chalky ones. The ones where the white ones taste like tooth paste (Stop it, I'm weird. I get it).
BUT Sweetheart hates my mid-February happiness and wasn't satisfied by me as their sole customer of those wonderful boxes (I don't know why. One time I bought 48 boxes in one season. I got some weird looks from the cashier that day).
They changed the formula. Now they're weird. They're fruity. They don't even have white ones.
It just doesn't work. It's not the same.
They don't leave a white powder on my hands. They aren't so brittle I think I'll break my teeth off. They're just not good enough.
Sweetheart, please, just give them back to me. If only me. And Jeannine (She likes them too. I know it for a FACT).
Come on, guys! They're really the only thing I have to look forward to on Valentine's Day. And you're ruining it!

an Autumn picture overload.

This is why I want it to be Halloween right now.

please put a penny in the old man's hat.

It's almost October, but you guys probably already know that.

But, do you know what that means?
The holiday season is starting.
The way I see it, the "holidays" are the days of candy.
And, since candy starts coming for reals in October and Easter candy is sold until mid April, I figure the holidays are from October 1st to April 30.
Today, I started the kick off of the holiday celebration.
How?
By watching Elf.

But, to be perfectly honest, I don't actually stop watching Elf when it's not holiday times.
That movie is too great to only watch for 7 of the 12 months.
Seriously, it's amazing.

Labels.

You know how there's the "labels for this post" area, where you put in different things that this post talks about that might link it to other posts? (some of my commonly used ones are Harry Potter, Christian Bale, and Gilmore Girls. Because, I'm awesome. Obviously).

Well, I have a lot. In fact, while I was looking at the list of my posts today, I realized, I have 277 labels. For my 220 posts. 1.25 labels per post (I used a calculator. I can't do that kind of advanced math in my head. jeez). Most have only been used once. That's weird. Why do I feel the need to have so many? I should just have 1 BIG one. Called "label." But Then how would I get you to go back and read my other posts. Maybe with candy.
