Hi JLyn,

Busy as ever right now. I'll make this brief but 'll be back on later.

I saved your site to read NANO, what I saw so far is very good. You are really

talented, pat yourself on the back for me.

I can read in more detail later tonight while I have tea and relax.

 

I was out at Whole Foods and doing errands. I was in the drugstore and looked

at candy corn, they carry an off brand made for their store and it didn't have

anything but the usual sugar ingredients. No gelatin, I have an idea some of

these types of candies vary depending on the manufacturer. Not that they are

good for you but I am a sugar addict and I find that if I have 1/2 can of Coke

with lunch or maybe I pass on the Coke a few pieces of hard candy during the

day, I'm fine. The Rice Dream ice cream in a cone works wonders for me.

Listen, I can sit and eat a pound of gum drops with no problem, 1/2 a pie, 1/2 a

cake.LOL

I think some people have a sweet tooth and others crave, spice or salty foods.

It's hard to change but you just have to watch yourself with it.

I love those gummy orange stale candy called circus peanuts and 75% of the

brands have gelatin, if I run a cross a bag without it then I grab them but I

try to pass right by since I can eat the whole bag at one time.

Enjoy your day!

Donna

Yes! You guys are great! It has been extremely helpful having this group. I

really think it would have been much much harder otherwise.

 

I had a huge bumber though. I never realized how many candies have gelatin in

them! I bought a bag of candy corn ( I love them and only eat them at Halloween

time). After eating most of it I read the ingredients.. pretty much just to see

how much SUGAR I was eating.. Well .. low and behold.. gelatin. I had even

stopped eating pop tarts way back when I learned what gelatin was (and I

absolutely loved my pop tarts.. they were easy to fix and grab on the go for

breakfast or dessert!) and here I was eating all these candies with gelatin ..

starburst, skittles, candy corn! I guess it should have dawned on me since they

all have that gummy consistency but it never registered other than the fact that

I shouldn't be eating all the sugar in the first place! Isn't that crazy! UGG

 

I have been chugging' away on my NANO novel. This morning i got 1403 (total of

6803 words to date. Last year I only made it to 14,00) words done in about an

hour & 45 minutes. I posted the first two installments on my blog

http://talula_rouge.bravejournal.com ; you have to read in reverse order though

since they put the current date first. It's called Norrey. I heard the name

somewhere and I liked it. I had it written down in one of my many paper

journals. When I couldn't get my original idea off the ground, I flipped

through them and it jumped out at me so... now I've been it's slave! LOL

 

I guess I should stop blathering now! LOL
