A Dream Come True

Dear M&M World (NYC),

I was born and raised on M&Ms. My Grandmother would keep a bowl of them out on her hutch whenever we visited. My Mom was forever making M&M cookies. Once and awhile she would kick it up a notch and put crushed M&Ms in peanut butter bars. M&Ms weren't just holiday candies, they were everyday candies.

As an "adult" now, there is always an extra large bag in my refrigerator. I feel I am working my biceps by opening the fridge door and the abs by bending over to reach into the bag. M&Ms was the first candy my kids ever ate (probably months sooner than was PC).

So, walking into M&M world for the first time this past week (I was attending Blogher10), I almost wept. I would have gotten on my knees and kissed the floor if it wasn't for the millions of people in the store. I didn't want to get trampled by all the fans.

3 beautiful floors of M&M merchandise. Oh, how to choose?

I even got to meet Yellow!

Oh, the amounts of M&M's on the wall. My daughter, B, had given me specific colors to pick out and they were all there.

This jacket was a little out of my price range ($3000), but a girl can dream, right?

I never needed to go visit the Statue of Liberty while in NY, because I am sure she wouldn't have compared to Green.

Winters on Cape Cod can be long and lonely without the tourists around. Thank goodness I got the idea at your store of what to do with my wrappers!

Combining Blue with one of my favorite dance moves, was inspiring. I put on a show right there with him! I think I might have poked someone in the eye, but she insisted she was OK as she ran away.

All in all, a fantastic experience. I was the last one out of the store because I was waiting on a price for your billboard out front.

It would look great on the roof of my house!

Humbly,
