Halloween Memories & Candy

Every year's halloween is quite memorable to me.  In my early 20s I would get dressed in a rather trite, semi ridiculous outfit (I was never into the slutty look) like a jelly bean or clown and go out dancing with my boyfriend at that present, and then scornfully look upon the sluttily dressed (or undressed) girls prouncing around in their underwear.  As I hit my mid to late 20s, I thought the entire thing tiresome and was also dating a German man who didn't understand the holiday- so the day came and went, just as any other ordinary day.  I haven't had a serious relationship since we broke up (a little over a year ago), and I've found the state of being single on such a holiday to be so profoundly liberating.  Granted, I've been too intensely busy in the past 2 years to even have time or room in my life for it, I still felt I had a choice not to do anything about the holiday on my own terms.  Last year, I gave out candy and drank tea while doing some work. This year, I'll have an exam late into the night, and then give out candy if there are any youngsters out by that time.  I'll probably drink tea again while catching up on some magazines that have been piling up, unread in my bathroom.  The following day, I'll probably allow myself 1 or 2 leftover Halloween treats. I really enjoy the minisize version of the candy. I feel like I can indulge without feeling too guilty.  Thursday therefore will be my 'sweet indulgence' day of the week.  Calories still exist though, so here's a Halloween Candy Calorie/Fat/Sugar Breakdown (in my order of favorites)!
