Fattening dreams...

This is the time of my work day that I enjoy…everyone leaves for lunch and I can finally catch my breath! Some days this doesn’t happen…the insanity continues non-stop, no one goes anywhere…and all of a sudden we realize that it is 4:00. I know this is only a brief respite…so I try to check my email, blogs, and take my glasses off for a few minutes.

Last night was one of those ‘wiped out’ nights. I got home, ate dinner, went for a brief walk (just long enough to realize that it was too cold to be out walking), went home and finished my walk on the treadmill, showered, then fell asleep on the couch.

I had asked Marvin to get some cookies when he went shopping yesterday. I wasn’t particular…I told him any kind would do. I was just really hungry for a cookie. He bought chocolate chip and nutter butters…the two best kinds on the planet! I vowed to have one of EACH while I watched TV…alas…as my head hit the pillow…I realized that I had slept the evening away on the couch and missed my cookies! My disappointment was profound! As I lay there in the dark debating on whether or not to go to the kitchen and eat a cookie, over the sink, in the dark (which I honestly never do)…it dawned on me how ridiculous I was! I chuckled at my silliness…and did NOT go have a clandestine cookie. However, visions of a land filled with cookie clouds and peanut butter streams, chocolate chip boulders, and fudge cottages filled my dreams! Maybe I should have eaten just one….

Be Well!
