Food Friday: Treat Counter

Well, to call this food is really stretching it, but here is the story.

Sister J's daughter sent her and Elder J a box today. Inside were Halloween decorations, plus some chocolate-covered cinnamon bears from the BYU Bookstore and a Halloween checkers board with orange and black candy checkers.  We decided we should can the jelly beans and get some candy corn instead...so off I went to Winco.

This is what we now have:

It is possible that you cannot tell that the pitcher with wrapped caramels in it is a skull.  Very cute.  The covered bowl is unwrapped candy.  I am positive it will go down well.  I have it more than arms' length away from my own mouth, though.  No need for sugar on my side of the desk...not that I will be totally virtuous even though I set a new healthy goal this morning...

On the other end of the counter, right in front of me, is a bowl of vegetables plus today some fruit.  Plus you will notice an empty candy dish.  The dish was mounded up with wrapped mini chocolates this morning.  Now look at it!!  There were eight missionaries in here today.  Enough said!


On a different note: behind  my chair you will see a printer with some white paper on top of it.  I am feeling very smug this afternoon BECAUSE  for several days I have not been able to use that printer.  We were beginning to think we would need to get a new one.  This morning I decided that if it was broken anyway, I might as well try to fix it.

On YouTube I found a "Clean the Dirty Stripes Off You Printer Output"  or some such title.  Don't look for that because that is not even close to what the title was, but I put in the printer brand and type and found a 10:46 minute video on how to fix your printer.  Amazingly, I did all the steps one after the other and did not have to go to the last step which was calling in a service provider.  The printer is happily working again.  Or at least, I am happy it is working.
