Ebony is my neighbor. She rang the doorbell today and asked me to buy some cookie dough for her school fundraiser. How could I say no to that cute face?
So I started perusing the brochure, and my mouth immediately started watering. In my mind, I was saying (imagine a Homer Simpson voiceover), "Chocolate Chunk...White Chocolate Macadamia Nut...Double Chocolate Chip...Snickerdoodle...Peanut Butter Cup..."
Here, I better give you some visuals, so you can experience what I did:
Okay, I'll stop now.
As I was hearing Homer Simpson's voice in my head, drooling over the cookies, I suddenly saw a vision into the future: It was me, in the middle of the night, grading papers at the kitchen table with a spoon in one hand and a tub of cookie dough in the other.
Uh, was that a vision of the future or a vision of the recent past?
Anyway, I snapped out of my dream-like state (Ebony was probably starting to question my sanity), and I went ahead and placed my order:
Chocolate Chip Walnut.
I gave her the money and closed the door feeling very proud of myself. You see, I am allergic to walnuts. But guess who isn't?
Sorry, Ry, but I just had to use this pic--my cute little Eagle Scout. |
O.F.U.R is back with a vengeance!
Well played, Rachel. Well played.
ReplyDeleteBahaha... you are always good for a laugh. That pic of Ryan is classic. I now want a cookie. Or dozens of them. Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteMmmmm cookies!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! Go OFUR!
ReplyDeletehahahahahaha
ReplyDeleteLove it!!!
ReplyDeleteCLASSIC Ry-Ry shot! Perfect choice. Support her but still be good about your diet! You go girl!
ReplyDeleteHa ha! This is awesome. I laughed, I cried, I read it to Mike. Okay I didn't really cry but the rest is true.
ReplyDeleteI'm proud of you Rach :)
Ryan - make sure Rachel doesn't have some alternate motive here. OFUR also sounds like a SRHD (stop ryan's heart diet).
I would never want to stop Ryan's heart!!!! A little cookie dough won't hurt him! Unlike me, he won't eat it all in a week. :)
ReplyDeletehey!
ReplyDeleteyou need to eat a little cookie dough/cookies now and then to keep sane. . . as least Karli Plant does!!!
mmmm delicious!
tell Ry i will help him finish off that dough if he has trouble doing it himself! ;)
You and Chelsea could be sisters, your writing is so similar and always gives me a giggle. I love the picture of Ryan.
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! I would NEVER have had that self control. :)
