And it's not just all the candy and chocolate - their selection and flavors of healthy foods is amazing. I sometimes wish we were driving back so I could fill up our car!

Loooooove those ones.

Whenever we get boxes of Purdy's at work, I just snag the mint meltie, then I ignore the rest of the box.<br /><br />I totally know what you mean about big books. I should read more of them, but I think I usually fall into the "I could read so many more books in the same amount of time as this one" trap =P<br /><br />P.S.

And, as a fellow Canadian, allow me to exclaim on all of the GLORIOUS M&Ms you're having! Savor it, sister.

That's quite a difference between here and Florida. :) Though, I'll try to shut my eyes in front of the fire and pretend I'm somewhere warm. I'll have to open my eyes eventually, but a girl can dream, right? <br /><br />And I LOVE grocery shopping in the states! There are so many neat things to try. :) I love all the coffee creamers ... I could try them ALL! <br /><br />Hope you continue to have a great trip! And that's awesome that you're loving your book!

I have no self control when I come across mint chocolate anything lol. <br /><br />I avoided big books almost all year because I always think "but I could read so many books in the same amount of time as just this one". But, what I'm realizing is, if the big book is good, it's totally worth it. I love that I've been reading it faithfully for days and yet I'm still only half way through. Sometimes you just don't want a good book to end, ya know?

I haven't tried the dark M&M's yet - I'm worried I will like them *too* much! <br /><br />We are in Nokomis which is about an hour south of the Tampa airport...we are pretty close to Sarasota. It's cooled off quite a bit today, but it's supposed to get back up to the high 70s, low 80s next week, which for us Canadians, is pretty warm! ;) Plus, they keep the pool here at 80 degrees which is really nice.
