Happy #thinkingoutloud Thursday! No idea what I’m going on about? Click here!
1. I’ve never really understood how winter doesn’t officially start until the end of December when it starts right around the end of October for us. Like… does anyone seriously not get snow or cold weather until then? Because, as per the usual, we got snow on Halloween. And on the day after Halloween. And we’ll probably be getting it and cold weather for the entire week of Halloween. Now that I think about it, this might actually be why we celebrate Thanksgiving in early October… so that it actually looks like Thanksgiving rather than Christmas.
2. On the bright side, because of the nasty weather we had on Halloween, our Halloweener count for the night was about five brave kids. So… more candy for me?
3. And if you’ve never had a Coffee Crisp, I am sorry for your loss. I don’t know that it beats out KitKat for me, but it’s definitely up there as far as fantastijazzical candy bars go. Basically, anything that has wafers/filling/chocolate is a big win in my books. But then again, if it has chocolate, I’ll probably love it. Except for Smarties. Hard pass. I even feel bad giving them out to trick or treaters, but I can’t avoid them because they come in the peanut-free candy packs… and what good are leftover Reese’s and Snickers if I can’t eat them?
4. So I finally did it. After all my years of blog reading and writing, I finally made my own hummus… and it wasn’t half bad! I mostly just threw a bunch of things together and tweaked ’till I got the texture and taste I wanted, but a quick Google search yielded over 19 million hummus recipes, so… they’re out there if you need them. And I think this might become a regular thing for me! I’m even half-tempted to try making some kind of chocolate dessert hummus. Hmm.
5. This song has been out for a while, hasn’t it? I’m just now realizing I like it. This is what happens when you never listen to the radio. Have I mentioned I can’t do commercials?
6. I’m also not overly fond of the EOS limp balms without the stripes. The ones with the stripes feel nice and creamy. The ones without feel sticky and a bit drying. I’m not sure what the difference is. Or why they keep the stripe-less ones when the strip-y ones are clearly better. Please explain.
7. Lucky number 7 
Hope you guys are having an awesome Thursday!

your dog is the cutest!!!
We’re still wearing flip-flops in NC!
Your chocolates look so fancy!
I’ve never even HEARD of coffee crisp!?!
I see Smarties!
Before I even read it, I was like oooooohh ahhhhhhh what is a Coffee Crisp LOL. I guess we don’t have those here. Boo!
We never get snow here in Northern California, so does that mean we don’t have a winter?
We had way fewer trick-or-treaters this year, which also resulted in a lot of of leftover candy… will probably last me through the next year LOL
We’ve still been in shorts on Christmas many times in Louisiana
We are in awe if we get any snow flurries during the winter!
Coffee Crisp must be a Canadian candy; it sounds really yummy! I love the picture of your sweet dog sitting out in the snow in her bed. We get snow here too before December, so it’s like we have a mix of fall/winter all the way until December when it officially feels like winter almost every day.
Yes and AMEN on the Eos with stripes!!! Sad day
Coffee crisp is my FAVORITE chocolate bar! My grandparents used to go to Canada often, my Mom was born there and we have family up there, so they would bring us home all of the “Canada candy” and include lots and lots of coffee crisp in there! Yum!! I am not looking forward to snow! Stay warm! Xoxo
That’s crazy your winter starts so early! I’ve been enjoying the cooler temperatures, but am SO not ready for snow! Enjoy all the leftover Halloween candy. Milky Ways are my favorite
That chapstick reminds me of a mummy, ha. Perfect for Halloween! I also don’t understand why winter doesn’t officially begin until the end of December. Just like summer doesn’t officially start until the end of June. Except the past few years we’ve basically never had winter sooooo
so like HI! We need to catch up lol. And um it’s still warm here in NY. We got a few days this week of chillier weather but by chilly, i mean 50s/60s and today will be 70 again.
We’re still a ways from snow in NYC but it’s felt great to wear a coat this week. Happy Thursday!
