4. Husband and I have unfortunately inhaled
a bag of Hershey's kisses between us. We're so going to regret this. No drinking, we've both got to be up early for work tomorrow (non-negotiable, non-call-in-sickable type stuff). But yes on the chocolate. Bleaugh.

5. Too many peanut butter/chocolate chunk cookies...baked 4 doz
last night. Sent some with Hubby to take to Sarahbellum (they're at the Bob Dylan concert in Mpls tonight), sent some with a buddy for his election night party with some of HIS buddies from high school, brought some to the local field office to feed the phone bank workers (including yours truly), and still have TONS left...OMG...

6. I'm beginning to work on Christmas decorations. Keeps my mind busy
as I listen to the results.

It takes me 3 weeks to decorate, so I decided to get going. I'm hoping for a cheery outcome...for the decorating but mainly for Obama/Biden's landslide vote.

Go, you guys!

17. LOL! People here at work brought in leftovers. I've eaten half a bag of dum-dums.
I'm too excited to do anything but chomp them one by one. I feel like Ozzy biting the heads off bats.

I tried chewing gum and almost bit the inside of my mouth in half.
