Guest Blogger: MaryMac

The world of blogging is fairly small, despite the millions of people who send their thoughts, feelings, recipes, and tirades out in to cyberspace on a daily basis.  Blogging has allowed me, from the comfort of our home office (and my workplace, but don't tell anyone) to reach and connect with people all over the world. 

The blogosphere is all about connections, so it won't surprise any of you that read this that my guest today is a blogger who lives about a 90 minute drive from me, whose blog I found via the comment section of another blogger who lives in the Canadian prarie province of Alberta.

Please say hello Mary... and when you are done reading her post, go visit her blog.  If she doesn't make you laugh, go see a doctor and get a new funny bone.

All yours, Mary!

 

 

Clark Kent Rocks, but I'd Rather Have a Clark Bar

Ok, so this is the first time I have been asked to do a Guest Blog Post. I'm honored, because when I see other blogs having guest blog posts, I'm like 'oooohh, coolll' and now here I am (sniff).

Gunfighter was kind enough to invite me here to his rockin' blog. I asked him what I should write about, and he said something about including sex, drugs, booze and rock and roll, and that if I mentioned I am a liberal left-wing Democrat, that would be ok too. So there ya have it. (legalize Marijuana, Obama!!)

By way of further introduction, I'm @marymac (twitter me!) of Pajamas and Coffee. I'm a fat frumpy recovering Catholic housewife with four kids (doesn't that sound SEXY?!) who's more than a little bit of a bitch. I freaking LOVE Halloween. Therefore, I am now going to write about my favorite Halloween candies.

When you're a kid, and someone goes the extra mile on Halloween and gives you a full size candy bar? Your year has been made. You casually eat the MINI SNACK/lameass size candy bars from the rest of your trick or treat bucket, and you wait for it, wait for it, savor that full size candy bar like it's the confectionary Holy Grail. I remember the Lady With the Full Size Candy Bars and have reached my ambition as That Lady today. This picture is my house, which my husband calls my 'biggest Halloween decoration.' I let the 300 trick or treaters I get select from an assortment of Hershey's full size bars. The most popular? Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, by far.

Know what annoys me? Schools and communities that DISS Halloween by not allowing it to be celebrated. Whoever started the "Halloween is the holiday of the devil" thing first of all OBVIOUSLY never got a full size candy bar and secondly needs to be egged and TP'd. Everyone knows we witches enjoy our devil worship EVERY day of the year, not just on Halloween! HA!

Halloween is all about the spirit of community, people getting out, WALKING, meeting neighbors, and having fun being a little scared. Ok, it's all about the Clark bars. Whatever happened to the Clark Bar? It was my FAVE! There's one store near me where they still (thank God) have them and I am sooooo lucky! Other favey flaves? Whatchamacallit bar, 100 Grand, and Chuckles. Remember Chuckles? There's like 5 jelly candies in the pack, covered in a delicious sugar coating (red, yellow, green, orange, and the one I save for last, BLACK LICORICE yumm!) I pretend to 'inspect' my kids' Halloween buckets when they come back from trick or treating, but I am really just looking for Clark Bars or 100 Grand. I call it the 'candy tax.' Fork it over, kids! Their Whoppers aren't safe, either.

Well, I guess I'd better run. I write my blog Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays so I need to go think of something to say over there. I hope you will stop by- that is, if you aren't offended by the word 'asshat' and don't mind dodging a few 'f' bombs.

Thanks Gunfighter! xoxo
