The other night, when I was getting ready to go to sleep, I looked in the mirror to see some bloodshot eyes staring back at me.
No, it wasn’t Halloween, it was me. Staying up too late as usual. Well I tried going to sleep, but nothing was working. I was tossing and turning like crazy. So what did I do?
Made ice cream of course! Mint chocolate to be precise, because it’s getting closer to Christmas. Since I have not made anything Halloween themed, I need to make up for that in the weeks leading up to Christmas 🙂
