Long sleeves and candy corn
I couldn't believe it; I rode my bike down the street this morning and was actually cold enough to decide to go back home and get a long-sleeved shirt! Since I am always hot and love the colder weather, I was psyched. Of course, none of my long-sleeve shirts were in easy reach, so I had to really hunt around to find one. But I was glad I did, since I was in the shade for a lot of the first half of the ride. I did about 30 miles and kept up a pretty good pace, except for the hills. I thought about my friend who I knew was doing Ironman Wisconsin today and again, was in disbelief that she would be riding 112 miles before a marathon and after a really, really long swim. Go Vic!
The rest of today was filled with schoolwork (okay, and a brief nap) and a reception with the Dean of my school. Matt came too and we were pleasantly surprised to be served sushi, sesame chicken and some yummy bite-size desserts. Knowing me, I'll be hungry again soon but at least it got me off the hook for cooking a real dinner tonight.
Oh yes, the candy corn. After we left the party we went to last night, I was craving candy corn and we just happened to pass by a CVS. I was trying to hold out on buying any Halloween stuff until next month, but I just couldn't help it. I have such a sweet tooth, and actually it was great to have something to munch on while walking over a very windy bridge back to our car. Yay for fall!

candy corn - i have a well known obsession for the little corns (and the orange pumpkins! i prefer the brachs autumn mix). a while ago i announced on my blog that i was swearing off candy, but i decided that that was a little too obsessive. so, here i am - injured and unable to even cross train - and i am devouring the suckers. yikes. they're SO SO SO good! i ate candy corn and the pumpkins the night before my 9 minute PR in the chicago marathon. they are good luck.

I am going to have to buy some good candy corn or pumpkins and save it until I'm being less obsessive (read: eating candy again). Even though I am not eating it right now, I am definitely a card-carrying member of the candy corn lover's club!
