toots

I had a delicious tootsie roll at work today. and then I got all sentimental.

you see, tootsie rolls remind me of halloween. for some reason we received lots of tootsie rolls, tootsie pops and tootsie minis in our pillow cases in my childhood neighborhood. coincidentally, tootsie rolls also happen to be some of my favorite candies (second only to reisen and red vines). I remember the feeling of holding open my sack and wondering what the latest oatmeal-laden-faced neighborhood “witch” mom was putting in there. I was always too embarrassed to look inside while they dropped in each piece because I was afraid it might be rude. at the end of the night I would plunge one greedy hand inside and inevitably pull out at least a few tootsie rolls. heaven.

so, after all that, you probably think that I am sentimental because it reminded me of my childhood right? alas, that is false. eating the tootsie roll reminded me of halloween which reminded me of my due date which reminded me that I’m having a baby which reminded me to smile (like I could help it).

and now you know.

  4. OK, THAT is what I get for not reading the whole post. And for not checking previous posts first. So you are due around Halloween (Nie's favorite holiday). When will you start posting tummy photos to show the expansion project? When are you moving to San Diego? And when will I stop asking nosey questions.
