Julie is a horrible tease.
just another facebook status thought. i had to realize i'm a horrible tease. and not in the way you'd think.
this thought came up, when i got home from my late night walmart trip, loaded up with valentine-y candy. to put in my apothecary jars.
i'm a tease with the seasonal candy that i put in my decorative jars right in front of my FAMILY! and my poor kids.
NO YOU CAN'T HAVE THOSE ...
candy corns.
jelly hearts.
chocolate eye balls.
giant candy canes.
conversation hearts.
chocolate lips.
candy sticks.
gumballs.
they ask me ,"are those___ real?" (fill in the cute decorative candy of choice)
i lie and say "NO!"
they ask," can i have some?"
of course i say, "NO!"
they are smart though and ask, "can i have them after ___?" (fill in the holiday i'm decorated for)
and i always say "sure, after ____" (whatever holiday i'm decorating for)
then they spread the word through the herd. and they all know not to ask again, that I'll give it out when the holiday i am decorated for is over. and not to bug me about it.
it's kind of not nice. but who can afford to replenish the candy all season long? they are a decoration not a freaking snack! we have other candy for eating freely. other not pretty candy.
the kids do pretty well though since once the holiday is over they get whatever was in the jars.
except the rainbow Giant candy canes from Christmas. i may just shellac them and use them every year. what if that color combo doesn't come out next year? they match my decor. i need them.
they did get to split one that Pierce stole. i broke it up for everyone to share. but i'm saving the other 7.
i spent 13 bucks on cute candy for my jars tonight. Pierce was rather stoked to see the stack of candy out on the counter not yet in the jars. i was tempted to say no.
but tonight, i gave in to Pierce since he's so cute, and persuasive.
and it wasn't in the jar yet so it's not technically a decoration until it is. and since it's still christmas at our house( i really need to take that crap down!). why can't he have the valentine candy?
and then there is Lance who doesn't follow my "no eating the decorative candy rule".
he helps himself. passes it out. and generally disregards my irritated glares and protests.
last year he horked down all my fuchsia chocolate lips. i said they could only eat the purple ones. BUT NO! he kept eating my fuchsia ones. i was super peeved. i'm still bitter about it.
he's been better for the last 3 holidays. i passed out the chocolate eyeballs after Halloween.
and he must not have liked the candy corn and pumpkins.
THAT IS THE WAY TO GO. put in candy people don't like. GENIUS.
anyway. so now you know why saying i'm a horrible tease is appropriate.
i was never much of a tease in real life.
teasing is so not my speed.
~~
so i had a rad girls night out tonight. it's been too long. since i've gone out with my fave girls.
we did Cafe Rio, sat and chatted and then hit the 8:30 showing of Bride Wars. which was too cute. i loved it.
and then we hit chili's for dessert.
delightful night out.
and then i had the pleasure of buying last minute saturday night groceries to get us through tomorrow and monday. yay.
we have a busy Sunday planned tomorrow. monday will be nice and relaxing after sunday.
Hope you are having a FABULOUS WEEKEND!
