Year Two, Day 134: Lost My Cookies!

I got up early this morning.  Today was my workout day with R.  I decided to make him some cookies. He told me peanut butter were his favorite.  It felt really sweet to make cookies for a special friend.  I turned up the music and danced and cleaned and baked! I felt like Cinderella! :)

I found a recipe for gluten-free peanut butter cookies.  We have been avoiding gluten in our household for the past year. My son-in-law is not celiac, that we know, but it is obvious that he has a sensitivity. So do I. And I think R does too. 

Let me tell you. These cookies are divine! You do not even miss the flour!

You can find the recipe here:

But as my luck would happen, we lost the cookies!  We went out for lunch after a very good, intense workout.  I had a Diet Coke. I know, cancer in laboratory rats. It is my one vice that I am clinging to.  Diet Coke makes me happy. It also makes me spacey.

I had the bag of cookies on the table. In a little paper bag.  The server came over and asked if she could clear the table.

I had this vague, uneasy feeling. I told her yes.

A few minutes later, R asked, "Did she throw away our cookies?"

OY!

I actually suggested we run and fetch them out of the garbage. They were in a zip locked bag in a paper bag.  But when I saw the look on R's face, I relent. R is OCD about cleanliness.

And I am a space cadet!


I left the rest of the cookies on a sheet on the stove with a note for the kids. I am sure I will come home to only crumbs.

I am mourning the loss of my cookies.

But mostly I am so embarrassed!  I think this will be humorous later.

And perhaps we did not need the sugar after such a good workout.

But those cookies were the bomb!

I guess I will be getting up at the crack of dawn again tomorrow.

To make another batch of cookies!

But now, I must head out to teach piano.  Hopefully my brain fog will subside.

Happy Tuesday!

Don't lose your cookies!

Year Three, Day 58: Marilyn Monroe's Measurements

Day 24 of daily hooping. I am determined to shrink these abs, if it is the last thing I do! Perhaps I should have that written on my tombstone: "Here lies Zita". Flat abs at last!! Well I certainly hope to attain my flat abs goal BEFORE I am dead and gone! Today's video was another rush job. But I downloaded some fun tunes to my Kindle last night.  I enjoyed my hoop session more listening to the Punjabi music. It reminded me of the "Maritime Bhangra Dancers".  If you haven't heard of them, you should look them up. They never fail to put a smile on my face! I am not smiling so much looking at this video. My hooping skills have improved a bit, but that menopot has got to go! After my hoop session, I walked 3/4 mile to the bus stop. I was planning on attending the 10:00 a.m. Mass at the Grotto, but it was cutting it close. Plus, I was feeling the need for a Starbucks iced tea.  Today was Iced Passionfruit/Black Tea, no sugar whatsoever.   The ic...

Year Two, Day 274: I Like Me. RIP Packy!

Today's fruit of the spirit that I am focusing on is patience.  This I need more of. And coincidentally (or not), I read in my book Challenge: A Daily Meditation Program Based on the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius by Mark Link, S.J. the following: "I asked God to give me happiness, and God said, 'No.' He said that patience is a by-product of tribulation. It isn't granted, it is earned." Well, not to sound smug, but I am certainly earning my patience award!  :) I am having a good day, however I am a bit over caffeinated. I earned (patiently lol) a free latte today at Starbucks.  On a side note, I love being a regular customer. I walked into my regular Starbucks today, and one of the barista's yelled, "Zita!" from across the room. I felt like I was in an episode of "Cheers"! I love being recognized in a friendly manner. I had a venti "Smoked Butterscotch Latte with soy".   I have found the per...

Year Two, Day 201: "I"

Before my first meeting with "I" I had a wonderful first date last night! We had a lot on common. The conversation flowed easily. We laughed. It was so lovely, that I think I shall not blog about him. Not yet anyway. I am just going to call him "I". I like I. 😉 Today was a long, wonderful family day. Went to church with my daughter and son-in-law. Very powerful, uplifting service. After that we went to the horse races. Had a blast. Broke even. Essentially had a free lunch and four hours of entertainment. After the horses, we had yet another Thanksgiving dinner at my niece's place. It was her first turkey. It was amazing! But thank God I had enough willpower to resist the pie! Tomorrow I go for my first physical therapy appointment. Tuesday it is back to the gym!! Happy Sunday!
