Today, Urban Princess and I went to a much-need laughter therapy lunch at Noodles and Company where the man bringing out our lunch was extremely nice to us. Sure, we're a couple of hot saucy trollops, so why shouldn't he be kind? As we were finishing our lunches, he came over and gave us each massive cinnamon sugar cookies and told us to have a great day. His gesture made me smile, and though I wasn't going to chow the cookie, I put it in my purse to take back to work for my boss.
I forgot the cookie was in my purse.
Later this evening, I went to the gym for much-needed Forest Gump run. You know those runs? You just keep running and running... Anyway, as I was digging through my purse to find my iPod, the cookie came flying out and landed in plain sight on the locker room bench. Women changing all around me saw this workout contraband and stifled horrified gasps. It's true, I looked like a shame eater stashing post-run treats, and in my embarrassment quickly threw the cookie back in my bag like a seventh grade boy hiding porn from his parents.
When I got home from the gym, I threw the cookie away, never to let it surprise me again.
In other news, the SciFi Channel's Tin Man miniseries sucks, even if it does star Alan Cumming. Also, Speed Racer is being made into a live action movie starring Matthew Fox and I'm hoping that doesn't suck too.

ha! that's great...though only in hindsight...horrible in real time. at least you're AT the gym...the only person to catch me with a cookie coming out of my purse would be...me...while I veg on the couch :)
Yeah, I can live without cookies. I've never really liked them, except for the occasional Double-Stuf Oreo cream with bottom cookie (top cookie discarded).
Now if I had cheesecake stashed in my purse, I would've hidden in the bathroom stall to down it like a dirty, secretive ballerina!
