Um, what, Texas? Ferrero-Rocher Hazelnut Chocolates? For Halloween? Are you kidding me? How is the rest of my state letting me down so hard? Those things are NOT Halloween candies! Heck, they aren’t even normal candies. Who has a craving for Halloween candy and thinks, “Gee, I’ll pick up a container of Ferrero-Rocher.” NO ONE. Who puts these in Halloween candy dishes aside from rich people?

Texas, get your house in order.

EDIT: It could be worse, I guess. All of the states bordering us seem to have an obsession with Tootsie Rolls and/or Tootsie Pops, and those things are a travesty.
The thing with this survey being based on Instac +n art, it isn't that accurate. Maybe people who like Ferrero-Rocher are the same people that always use Instacart and they are the only ones who buy them in the whole state

Good Morning Halloween Friends! It's mini Friday! I swear I think Wednesdays put you through a time wormhole or something because yesterday FLEW by. We'll be staring at the weekend in no time.

A quick check of the counts this morning show that we are just about TWO WEEKS from the 100 DAYS TO THE BERS milestone! Can you just imagine how that will feel when we break the seal on that one?

Yesterday got to 85 degrees and was muggy and humid. It was like a mini sweatfest. But another thing it was, was a great day to daydream about when Autumn returns. We went to Hobby Lobby last night and it's amazing how much it's changed in just a few days. We have Fall stuff everywhere in there now, they are just missing the autumn candles. When those come out probably in a few more weeks, I will really be at a fever pitch for Fall Pre-Season to get here. But we've got a ways to go for that. "The Road" is not open yet, but we get closer every day.

Tomorrow will make only three weeks until JOL Day #4, and I know this sounds crazy but I really think I need it after this whole post Spooky Spring wind down.

Have a great day, friends!

Has anyone been to an At Home store recently? They are really leaning into Halfoween…makes me wonder if they already have some Halloween stuff out.

We went a week and a half ago and they were still getting summer stuff out. No Halloween at that time.

Good Morning Halloween Friends! At long last it is Friday and the weekend is up next! From where we stand today, we are just TWO WEEKS away from the all-important 100 DAYS TO THE BERS milestone, and exactly THREE WEEKS until JOL Day #4. I have been thinking about the 100 Days to The Bers milestone a lot, and even after all these years of celebrating a 100 count to something, I still think there will just be magic in the air in the days following the breaking of that seal.

We continue to see Autumn stuff pop up at Hobby Lobby. Right now it is my mainstay on where to go to get my weekly Fall & Christmas feels. Pretty soon that will be expanding to Bath & Body works, who if I recall correctly last year, started putting out the Fall scents in late June and was just about "full" by the time we got to Fall Pre-Season. Michaels turned over at some point in mid July. It's all coming. We just need to be patient and enjoy this time we are in right now with relaxing days and not feeling any kind of pressure.

Have a great Friday, friends! Sneak in some Spooky thoughts here or there!
 
I have one by me and was there last week. They only had summer stuff out. Maybe a will get a surprise the next time I am there.

Aw, shucks. Well, at least it’s coming. I feel like they’re promoting it pretty heavily, so I figure it’s gotta be soon.

The earliest I have seen Fall/Halloween out is June 19th. I'll have to stop by there this weekend and check again.

Let us know if you find anything! #HalloweenHunting2024
 
Evening Halloween Fans! My favorite year-round candy I consume is M&Ms. I love them. I think I could eat a gigantic bag of them and not get tired of them. I eat a little bit of them several times a week. Happy Halloween!
We buy M&Ms for trick or treaters but we do by the big bags of the Christmas ones at Christmas time. I have 2 clear glass candy jars in the shape of Christmas trees. I fill one with plain M&Ms and other with a mix of PB and Peanut M&Ms. I also buy a few extra bags of the Christmas Plain M&Ms to make christmas cookies with.
 
Evening Halloween Fans! I hope you had a good Friday. Got a little sesame chicken and rice for dinner from the mall. I had a good day off. But this is just a mini-break for what's to come this summer. Happy Halloween!

Good Morning Halloween Friends! It's an October-esque morning out there right now. 45 degrees and just the sound of the leftover rain dripping from the trees and the gutters running. I'm just missing the electric Pumpkin from Spooky Spring.

A quick check of our counts this morning show that we are now UNDER three weeks to go until JOL Day #4, and now UNDER two weeks to go until we reach the amazing 100 DAYS TO THE BERS milestone day!

Things are still moving along nice and slow, but I told myself I was not going to spend any time really daydreaming about "The Road" until at least next weekend, since next weekend will be the weekend before the three day weekend / memorial day weekend. I think by Thursday or Friday, it will be "ok" to start really daydreaming. How awesome it will be and what a trip we are going to have like we always do.

I hope everyone has a great Saturday! Try to think some October thoughts! If you lived up here, you'd really think today feels like October!

I stopped by At Home last night and there was nothing Fall/Halloween in the store. We probably will see something in about a month or so. But I'll keep checking.
