February 15th Question of the Day:

 

A little early today, as I'm gonna try to fall asleep before 5 pm today or at least try & get some sleep other then 4 hrs in......

 

Ahhhh, 2-15 (or for you more sophisticated countries 15-2...:poke:), you know what today is CHEAP CANDY DAY!!!! Will you partake in the candies? What's your favorite?

I will now that you reminded me.

 

Whether I buy anything or not remains to be seen.

I would, if they'd put the sugar-free stuff on sale (spoiler alert, they won't).

Nope, I'm trying to be good and I already have some Peanut M&M's in the fridge.

I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but I do like to enjoy a good Reese's cup or three a couple times a year. The SO usually gets me them on special occasions, and will immediately ask me if the ratio is acceptable. She knows it's usually not, but I still enjoy them anyway. (imo the perfect ratio is the standard cup size, other formats introduce too much of either the choc or peanut, the hearts are too much peanut but still good). I do not buy additional candy, the 6-pack of Reese's will last me another week or two and then I'm good for a few months at least. 

14th: we watched the Olympics last night, but celebrated VDay by, uhh, watching the Olympics on Sunday (and some football). That men's biathalon pursuit was insane, snowcross was a great new addition, the US Dad curling team is still in the hunt...it was a good weekend.

12/13: I actually painted a thing for the first time since 2018! I wasn't able to finish it, but it was just a quick 1-hour burnt umber pickout study. I'll post a wee bit more in my art thread, I guess 🙂 8x10 oil on cotton panel:

It's not cheap... it's DISCOUNTED. 😉

 

And there was none to be found here. I went out to do my shopping just after 10am, and there wasn't a bag or chocolate heart in the discount bins anywhere. There either wasn't any or someone else had been through much earlier. I've seen people in previous years with shopping carts loaded with it, so I must have missed the rush.

 

I did see Easter candy on the shelves though.

 

I'll eat most candy that has chocolate, but these days I stay away from anything that is really hard to bite or is chewy (or loaded with caramel). Dentist warned me that both could aggravate my TM joint, which has had some issues in the past year (might need a procedure done), and I've chipped teeth before on really hard/solid chocolate pieces. I do like the chocolate candies filled with an orange-flavored creme though, especially if it's dark chocolate.

Will you celebrate the day…?

No. 
There was no celebrating. 
Hallmark must survive without my assistance.

While cheap candy is something I'd get, I've been on the road the entire day so I never had the opportunity. And lately all the big stores have a tendency to put holiday candy on sale and then yank it all off the shelves within a day or two to make room for the next thing.

Both me and that adorable German Shepherd (she's 2 now) have been told by to lose a few pounds. We keep track of all the Chinese holidays and hit up the Chinese supermarket for Ferrarros --best prices, hands down. I'm not supposed to have them but I sure do like them.

Sometimes I do, but today was more of a just do work and then go home kind of day.  That and I'd rather spend the money on my printer, and those vendors don't do discounts for the 14th of Feb, or the day after...

I did not myself. I tend to grab a candy bar every night work, so I can munch on something while breaking down the loads. Around it was gutted anyways. It was like this for Christmas as well.....gluttony.

 

New question will be posted as soon as I get home from work.

I used to. Just like after Halloween or Easter. But it's way too easy to abuse, and I *would* abuse. Abuse with a big smile, followed by some regret when I'd weigh myself. So I don't do it anymore.

 

With regards to Valentine's Day, I do like the small cinnamon candy hearts. And nearly all forms of chocolate are fair game.
