Pumpkin Spice Oreos are here to grace grocery store shelves yet again! I never spotted them during their initial run in the 2014 Halloween season, and I assumed I may have missed out entirely. Not one to let second-chances slip by, I'm pleased to take the plunge and see what these bastards are all about!
The end of August is always a magical time. Summer and its nasty humidity-filled heat are slowly dying down, and the Halloween season is right around the corner. I'm about to friggin' squee.
In fact, the glorious fall holiday has already begun to rear its head. I'm seeing beautifully tacky decorations and fun candy assortments pop up all over the place. It would be impossible to keep my excitement in check, so I might as well share it with the internet! Here are some of my first spooky sightings of Halloween 2015!
Though it's something I'm working on, I'm historically the type that cares way too much what people think of me. It can be paralyzing in many ways. One of the most ridiculous is feeling weird about the mere possibility of someone judging me over the items in my cart when checking out at department or grocery stores. I've even been the sort to throw unneeded stationary, batteries, or cleaning supplies into the mix just to make the overall purchase appear more "adult" or "responsible" when buying things like action figures. I actually have been given crap from people (even cashiers) in the past about my purchases, and the "old me" wanted to completely curl up into a ball and hide rather than rock a well deserved "get funked" or simple "it's a gift" excuse. For shame.
I try to live my life with a little more "IDGAF" attitude these days, but you know, old habits can be difficult to completely turn around. It's probably part of bigger issues that need to be corrected through mystical means, but I do still find myself feeling a bit shy about my purchases here and there. Oddly enough, groceries can be one of the biggest worry inducing items. What if I want to buy horrible sugary kid's cereal for some reason? OH NO, WHAT WILL THEY THINK?!
