M & Ms….

I need to vent just a bit.  I LOVE M & Ms.  Plain have always been my favorite candy.  When I was a little girl I could go to a downtown “Kresge” store and get quite a bit of candy for 25 cents.  That shows you just how old I am.  :)   If you don’t know, Kresge is the original K Mart Corporation.  Anyway, I love the plain M & Ms but…being diabetic I have to be very careful with sugars.

There are a lot of companies coming out with sugar free candy these days and that’s very nice for diabetics.  You still have to be careful and count the carbs involved, but if you really need the taste of good sugar, more and more it’s starting to be out there.

I sent an e-mail to the parent company, M & M Mars, and left a suggestion that they too come out with a sugar free M & M.  I got an e-mail back from them telling me that they don’t use input from customers for those types of decisions.  I think that’s flat out STUPID!  They could have at least worded it so that they might pay attention instead of just telling me more or less that they don’t give a rip.  Is it just me or is this stupid?

One piece of good news….I was able to for the first time, find a sugar free chocolate Easter bunny this year.  That was a first for me.   Thank you Russell Stover.    I bit the head off, just like a little kid, then put the rest of it in the freezer for the future.  :)

We’re close!!

It’s been quite a while since I’ve written.  In addition to “keeping warm” I guess we’ve been somewhat busy AND I don’t know if it makes any difference to anyone but me that I write at all.  If it’s just for ME I’ll just try to make sure it’s written well.  :)

We’re very close to warm weather.  It reached the high 40’s yesterday and it was very sunny.  We even opened the front door for a while to get some fresh air.  It felt so good.  It’s supposed to reach the high 50’s today.  I HOPE THE WORST IS OVER!  I’m so tired of being cold, but all in all it’s been a good winter season. 

If the 50’s continue we’ll probably see spring bulbs rising up soon.  I just hope they don’t get frozen after that. 

Have a great day!!
