Ice and Cookies

[bunchofgrapes]

Left work early today because my boss and I were watching a man in the parking lot behind us scrape the ice off his car. My boss came into my office two minutes later and said she was leaving and so was I. Good thing because halfway home it started to really rain and ice was covering the mirrors and causing the windshield wiper on the driver's side to ice over. Even with traffic at a crawl and salt and sand on the road, in a three-mile stretch I saw numerous cars in the ditch and counted three ambulances. A couple of miles from home there was a six car pile-up on an icy ramp. It's not supposed to get any better tomorrow morning and I have an 8:30am conference call so I'll be working from home--yay!

When I got home what did I find at the front door? A slightly frozen box from gsr_sara_gil. Cookies! Guess what I had for dinner? No, I had tacos but then I had chocolate chip cookies! Once they thawed out. Seriously, they were frozen. But OMG! these are so good! They're bite size and full of chocolate chips and you definitely can't eat just one. Thank you so much!

ETA: I'm taking down the Solidarity with Writers banner on my profile because yes, the strike is over! WGA members have voted to lift the restraining order and writers are back at work tomorrow. Okay CSI writers, now give Brass a brilliant arc for the rest of the season!

Sorry they were frozen, but I made them saturday so they should be fresh except for ice..

Cookies weren't frozen, frozen--just really cold, frozen. They are sooo yummy! I think I ate too many tonight though. Oh, and I have to send you something now so I can get that nice container back to you.

Tacos just seemed to be the perfect food for a cold, icy night and American Idol.

A girl asked me and a few others over for taco night, for tonight last week the coldness made it comfy but traffic was murder...and we watched idol too. haha It was really good and fun.

No worries about the container...I was worried about the cookies staying fresh.
I just wanted to send you all cookies.

I made 5 batches so everyone got tons.

Ok, so I was so focused on the food, I forgot to thank you for the card and the books. I already have "Binding Ties" but it's my favorite of all the CSI books (Brass and a serial killer, what could be better). I'm thinking I'll give my copy to my friend at work and keep the nice, new copy you sent. Never read Sue Grafton but I'll save it for my next vacation reading. Again, thank you!

Oh, and I'm about 5 miles from the large USPS, Fed Ex, and UPS distribution centers at Dulles so everything gets here quickly. I can mail my Netflix DVD's Monday, they get them Tuesday and I can have my next one on Wednesday. I'm spoiled by that.

Too bad I could have driven them to you hot before all the crazy weather.
