Cookies Goooood!

PhotobucketEler Beth as she's spooning chocolate chip cookie dough onto the cookie sheet:
"I'm glad we got this big tub of cookie dough. We should always keep some on hand. Whenever I'm craving something sweet and I'm out of candy I can eat cookies. When I'm out of candy I get irritated." Pause. "By the way, I'm out of candy."

"Are you getting irritated?" I asked with interest.

"No," she said, with a 'duh' inflection to her tone. "I've got cookies!"

On a side note:
With a feeling of panic, my mind spinning trying to catch on the right gear, I turned to Eler Beth this evening and said, "Did I just turn 44 or 45?!?" (I swear for the life of me I couldn't immediately recall!)

She smiled and just rolled her eyes!

{shh...the correct answer is 45}

Too funny! I did that in my twenties. Couldn't remember if I was 22 or 23. Now I try really hard not to think about it! 45 (which I turned in January) seems oldish!

L, it's not a bad idea to forget how old you are Life is confusing enough without bothering over numbers. You get to a certain age and the numbers don't matter any more, any way.
