Cookies in my Truck

      Date: January 11, 2008
      I KNEW there were cookies in my truck - locked in the back in freezer bags in an ice chest.
      They were calling to me.
      I had my Medifast oatmeal for breakfast (8).
      I had my Medifast bar for lunch (12).
      But - by 1:15PM -----
      They were singing in my little ear (which cannot wear its pretty dangling earring today since one earlobe has declared war and I can't find my ear solution - or any solution - because everything is in San Diego.)
      I have already been asked, "Is that your matador outfit?" because I am in black velvet with patent leather Easy Spirit boots. (I love these boots - they are on their second soles and heels.)
      The black velvet pants are new and fit (no more baggy pants) - Susan Gravor.
      The black velvet tank is by Bob Mackie.
      The black velvet jacket - heavily trimmed in a crystal and white/gold thread braid - heavily - cuffs and neckline and front and around the sides and back) is a Victor Costa Special Occasion.
      I have a white gold necklace double looped and I was wearing dangling filigree silver-toned matching earrings. These are from HSN I believe. Maybe not. Mostly I am put together from various wild shopping sprees during fashion day sales on QVC, something I have severely limited these days as retirement looms.

(Me - trying not to look at flashbulb)

      I gave in to the singing call of sugar and chocolate (I prefer dark chocolate - maybe I will make the peanut blossom cookies with chunky peanut butter and DARK kisses).
      I walked to the truck, unlocked the back, opened the ice chest, opened the freezer zip-lock bag, and grabbed a peanut blossom, since the choc chip with the walnut halves and over 2 Cups of chips I deemed too deadly.) I re-zipped the freezer bag, closed the ice chest.
      I locked the truck, threw my head back and acknowledged the stray sunbeam, and strolled munching into the building. The cookie was history before the elevator dropped me on the second floor. I grabbed more coffee (decaf - not helping) and strolled back to my cube. Only break I took today after filing my very first invoice. WhitePubs has billed SanDisk. Wow.
      My head had a few minutes of headache - sugar rush - but I appear to be awake - for the nonce.
      Chuck is surprised I baked him replacement cookies after the ant attack --- seems the containers are yet to be washed.
      Waiting for Mommy no doubt.
      An exterminator is coming to his place on Tuesday.
