Milk & Cookies & Warm Fuzzy Socks

This post has been unnecessarily delayed and should have gone up last week.  I am still trying to catch up and have so many posts waiting to be written.  No excuses except just life busyness.  However, these items definitely offered me some comfort last week when the weather had turned pretty chilly down south.  We were in the 20's most nights with highs in the 30's and 40's (Fahrenheit) during the day.  My office at work was so cold that by the end of the day all I wanted to do was go home and snuggle up under some cozy warm blankets and warm my hands and feet. On Tuesday after a long day at work, I was happy to come home to a little box of cheer all the way from Canada.  My extra special blog friend, Natasha, sent me some yummy chocolate chip cookies from one of her favorite grocery stores.  Of course, the boys wanted to try them too!  I sampled before reading the ingredients so I was pleasantly surprised by the subtle hint of coconut in these delicious cookies.  I was also pleasantly surprised by the "healthy factor" in these cookies that did not contain many of the additives and extra junk so many of our store bought treats contain down here.  Eddie and I have actually been on a mission lately to cut out as much of the processed foods with artificial coloring, flavors, preservatives, etc. so this was a welcome treat for sure.

So when are we getting this brand down here in the states?  Do I need to send the company a nice letter?  Maybe our beloved Target could even start selling them.  I was also kind of pleased Natasha sent me the "French"  package which I assume is made to sell in Quebec.  It made me feel like I was eating something a little more exotic.  Hehe!    

Evan snatching a cookie before I could even get one.  Silly boy! 

But my sweetheart, Brody, grabbed two, one for me and one for him!  Ha!

And you cannot eat chocolate chip cookies without milk!

And as promised, you must check out my warm fuzzy socks that kept my feet warm last week.  Haha!  Eddie jokingly calls them my sexy socks.  It is a bit of an inside joke.  We listen to a comedic talk radio show in the mornings, and they sometimes give their callers "sexy socks" as gifts.  

Natasha, as I have repeatedly expressed to you, I truly feel that our friendship has gone far beyond what most would understand as an online friendship.  As I've expressed about myself, I kind of shy away from many casual friendships in my personal life.  I think I have come to realize this is due to my having "trust" issues.  I tend to seek out relationships where I truly feel people are being truly honest with me.  I don't often get that trustworthy vibe from most of my casual acquaintances because I have just seen too many times where most of these "relationships" involve much gossiping and no real intimacy.  I would rather have a few close friends that I feel are truly honest and sincere with me than have many casual friendships.  And yes, it is hard to build those more intimate and honest relationships and even more difficult when you have time constraints from so many other obligations.  I have always gotten the honest and trustworthy vibe from you so although we have not actually met, I do feel I can call you a true friend, and I do value this relationship as I do not have many I can truly call true friends.  So now that I know that we are only a convenient 12 hour driving distance apart, I foresee a future road trip up there to drink tea, eat cookies, and just sit and talk for hours while our kids entertain one another.
