First batch of candy ~ arrives!

Guess what arrived here at work about an hour ago?! The first batch of candy I ordered online!! YAAAAAAY!!! These past couple of weeks have been great!! We've gotten wedding shower gifts delivered to the house, on Monday the floralytes came in, yesterday it was the cake stand, today the candy... and I just received an email that the M&M's are arriving tomorrow!!

The UPS man and my boss were laughing 'cuz I was jumping up and down when I saw him carrying a box labeled Chocolate.US/BulkFoods.com. He said, "You can't imagine how many people asked me 'You sure you don't want me to get rid of that box for you?" Hahaha... Oh, UPS man, you're so funny!

I carried the box to my office and couldn't wait to open the darn thing. Tim (a co-worker) and I oohed and ahhed as I pulled each thing out... swizzle sticks (rock candy)... licorice twists... jelly beans... candy sticks... He was most excited about the blue licorice twists 'cuz he didn't know it came in that color. Trust me, I didn't know it either but when my friends were helping me decide what to get, Kat said she really liked Twizzlers. Red twizzlers were not an option but they actually come in blue! (Ick... I'm not a fan of licorice.)


I was very disappointed when I saw the Jelly Belly jelly beans. I ordered 4 lbs. which is 1,600 pieces (approx. 9 per person) but I don't think it's enough. I overestimated the size of those suckers. I guess I'll go to a candy store and buy them by the pound from those bins. Six more pounds should be enough, right?

Other than that, everything else looked fine. I can't wait till the M&M's come in tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
