    Did you keep track of how much you spent? I'm trying to give FI an estimate.

    I think that is more than enough. We actually had a lot of candy left over at the end of the night.

    BTW, I just looked at your pomanders, they are unique versus the others I've seen and I love them!

    Haha, I did get your spreadsheet, Shelly.  But I actually did mine before I got yours.  I just did it at first to know how much I was spending all together.  But I am an organizational nut, so I like this crap!Haha, Chris already asked me if there will be a day when he comes home from work and I am sitting on the couch in my wedding dress eating all of the leftover candy.  I told him that is very possible.

    So does this mean, mcvay, that you would come out of retirement for a TTD/candyeating GTG? ;)

    apparantly you do not understand Shelly's obsession with candy. all she heard was "blah blah blah, eat candy, blah blah blah."
