~ Jelly Belly’s ~
OK, OK…I admit it, I have a sugar addiction and I am working on it. Ha ha. Last month I went to see a movie at Soutlands Mall and we were a bit early, so we strolled along Main Street and went into some random stores. Before we knew it, I was faced with a Fuzzwig’s Candy factory.
Anyone who knows me knows that I have to have SOMETHING sweet when watching a movie. I’m not a big movie popcorn fan, but I do like the sweets (go figure). So I thought, WHY pay for the high priced candy at the theatre when I can go in here and get what I want for ½ of the price?
So in I went…I had NO idea what I was in for when I walked into this store. Yes, I know…it sounds strange, but I haven’t been into a candy shop since I was a kid! I was walking around the store SO excited seeing all of the candies that I used to enjoy when I was a kid (I probably should’ve had a harness on at this point because I kept getting ‘lost’). Then I walked up to the GLORIOUS wall of Jelly Belly jelly beans, and it sang to me. I LOVED these when I was a kid. I love being able to pick out my favorite kinds and put them all together for a flavor explosion in my mouth.
I spent about 10 minutes carefully selecting my favorite flavors and placing them into a bag. BEST. IDEA. EVER! That movie was great, not only because it had Paul Walker and fast cars…but because I got to enjoy my childhood candy snack. *sigh* Oh how I love Jelly Belly’s.
Of course, I did not finish the bag of beans…so I brought them into work and shared them with my cube-mate. Little did I know, he is a Jelly Belly lover as well. Once I found this out…I thought EXCELLENT, now I have an excuse to go buy more Jelly Belly’s! And, I have. I have a very strange way of eating them…and get made fun of all the time. I am used to it. :-p
Today, we finished off the remaining Jelly Belly’s, and I thought to myself…I am so Thankful to have these wonderful treats during a long work day, it picks up my spirit. I know, lame…but hey, it’s the small things that matter in life.
So today, I am thankful that I had Jelly Belly’s at my desk and that they remind me of being a child!
