Fun sized candy? This is more like it.
After years of looking, I’ve finally found candy that I would deem “fun sized.” Now who’s the Smartie?

Crazy Katie and Slutty Brownies

Slutty Brownies: Brownie, chocolate chip cookie dough, and Oreo crumbles. What’s not to love?
The difference between Katie and Oprah? The slutty brownie.
Jessica Simpson confessed a weakness for them. To the uninitiated, they are a baked confection featuring an indulgent mixture of brownie, chocolate chip cookie dough and Oreo cookie crumbles. What’s not to love?
But when Katie heard them described, she proffered a mock-gag.
Oprah would have been salivating, begging for a bite or even admitting to having a batch in her pantry. She would have had some on set and taken a bite on camera, connecting with Simpson and everyone else watching.
I’m not saying that every woman dreams slutty brownie dreams. But no woman I know – no woman I can relate to – thinks they sound gross.
Hugging POTUS

Anyone catch the front page NYTimes image of Scott Van Duzer lifting the First Man off his feet in an enthusiastic show of support and strength? It’s a great photo, but it raises more than just Obama’s feet from the ground. It raises a few questions.
For starters, is that legal? Answer: Yes. Van Duzer got the okay from the Secret Service. Okay, those guys have a sense of humor and a sense of what makes a good photo op. Fair enough.
Is it right? Sure. It’s well documented that the FLOTUS is a big hugger. Why not extend the privilege to others?
Is it difficult? Well, this is where I must stop and pause. The front page picture shows a big, strong guy essentially performing as a human version of Air Force One. He gets the President well off the ground. The caption could easily have read: Lift Off!
But keep reading and discover this: President Obama is 6’1″ and weighs 176 pounds.
I’m 5’10”, and though I don’t weigh 176 pounds, I have in the past. And I wasn’t pregnant at the time.
My entire take-away? Maybe I’m eating too much take-away!
