It’s really happening –

brand, doctorate, food, living, self

It’s been a whirlwind since I posted last Wednesday.

First, my dissertation defense is scheduled for 19 March. The date is about 45 days sooner than expected. I need to get busy finding a top hat. It’s actually happening.

Next, I couldn’t find this candy anywhere. Originally, I purchased it at TJ Maxx or equivalent store…Ross, etc. The label was dark so I don’t really know. I looked everywhere. Then, I found it at Target. Online. If you want to order said candy, you must purchase at least $35 of merchandise. So instead of spending $35 on candy + other items, I spent nearly $60 on all candy made by this brand. Good purchase? I don’t know but now I have a lot of candy!

Then, this happened. Gummies. I’m uncertain how many years it’s been since I deleted the game (nearly 3?). I know it’s a waste of time but I gave myself stipulations for playing. For example, if I want to play during the day, then I must be walking. So now I take a few extra walks. For exercise purposes, of course.

I ask you –

Have you ever restarted a game?

What’s your favorite candy?

Wish me luck this week!

  1. First – good luck! You got this! Second, I got my Jojo chocolate bars at Costco. So good. Just finished a bag a couple days ago.

  2. Geez, 45 days earlier?! I’m sure all will go well. Even if it doesn’t go well, I’m sure it will go well enough for you to pass.

    Have you ever restarted a game? Of course. Does flipping out and flipping a Monopoly board count as restarting a game.

    What’s your favorite candy? Don’t think that I have a favorite candy per se, but I enjoy most sour candies (Sour Straws, Nerds, Warheads) and dark chocolate.

    Good luck next week. Be sure to get plenty of rest and eat well during the days leading to the defense
