Just butting in with my two cents of Smarties love. I got a Smarties Easer egg this year. For myself, admittedly, but still - yum. They should sell just orange Smarties, like the just black and red Wine Gums. Mmm...black and red. If any sweets are evil, it's the black and red Wine Gums.
Mal: Okay. She won't be winning any beauty contests anytime soon. But she is solid. Ship like this, be with ya 'til the day you die. Zoe: 'Cause it's a deathtrap.

I got a Easter Bilby, which was great apart from the inevitable guilt that springs from gnawing on the head of an endangered animal, even if it *is* made out of chocolate.

You've got it all wrong. I have a theory about this. As long as food is a gift, it's guilt-free. The calories don't count, you see. It's like eating in the dark.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
mmmmmmm.....Smarties.......

No worries, Cindy. These days, with the weird pregnancy-induced forgetfulness, I sometimes feel very much like a lackbrain.
Have you yet tried to step into your bra?
When I was pregnant with Benjamin, I was still working. I got up, showered, ate breakfast, had a cup of coffee, then went to get dressed. I put on my panties, then picked up my bra and tried to step into it. I was probably about 7 months along, so my balance was off, and of course stepping into nothing (the bra wasn't even hooked) makes one kind of stumble. I caught myself with my left elbow on the side of my bed.
Then I tried to step into it again.
I stumbled forward again.
I caught myself - again.
I *knew* I was doing *something* wrong, but it still took me a minute to figure it out.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Have you yet tried to step into your bra?
No I have not. That sounds pretty funny.
These days I have only the one bra, and it only fits because I have an extender. I'm trying to wait out the bulk of the boobage so I can go right to nursing bras.

I had to buy new ones at the beginning of my second trimester, but they saw me through. They weren't nursing bras, though. My nursing bras were sub-par bras. I'd make sure to find better ones if I did it again (and if I do it again, please have me committed). I think my boobage paid a price. Stay away from underwires when you're nursing, they can bother your milk ducts.

If I only had a brain...
My boobage definitely paid a price, but I blame it on the whole nursing process.
Nursing was the only time in my life I got stares on the streets. It was weird.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
I've never seen a Smarties memorial to match it.
That's b/c Smarties don't need no steenkin memorial. They can stand on their own two feet ... so to speak.
It's a little known fact that Maltesers used to grow on trees. Eve didn't eat no damn apple. Anyone can resist an apple...

I can't. To me they're like round, sweet, crispy crack. Though I wouldn't want to try snorting one, really.
