delicious!

i wanted a ginger molasses cookie from starbucks. they are big and soft and coated with a light coating of white sugar.

its been a long day. first of all, i had to get up at ten o'clock this morning. now, remember, its all relative. i usually work till about midnight, mimicing jarrod's hours, and so i never call it a night before one or two. and i will be the first to admit that i need a lot of sleep. or else i turn into this she-beast that roams the condo until noon. i worked hard today though, had several meetings, and got a lot done.

so i felt like i deserved a cookie.

so, i set off to starbucks. first stop, my regular haunt. nodda. see, this is the thing about starbucks: they are terribly sporadic. it depends on the day, the time, the gods, i don't know, but half of the time they have nothing that i want to eat. today, they had a cookie called "breakfast cookie." now, everyone who knows me knows that i try to stretch all my pastries into breakfast foods, but not even i would try to include a cookie. its probably some kind of granola-trail mix-good-good-for-you cookie. which, in my opinion, isn't actually a cookie as much as something baked in a round shape. that does not a cookie make. a cookie needs chocolate or oatmeal or ginger. ah, right, back to where i started.

now that i had decided that i wanted a cookie, i was getting a cookie. starbucks was not going to limit me to what was simply in that particular display case. there are too many starbucks for that. i headed to the starbucks at the athletic centre. nothing. again. of course, i happened to run into a few friends outside of the starbucks...who of course thought i was a bit off my rocker. they don't know how good the cookies are. of course, it started to rain, adding to both the hilarity and the determination. the only thing that would make this better is if i fell off my bike. but i didn't.

then i went to the starbucks on queen street. third times the charm!

so i bought two. just for good measure.
