So far 2009 seems very promising. In the first week of this brand new year I attended an uplifting New Year's Day celebration, made new friends, helped out old ones, sent my kids back to school, and realized that I'm no longer obsessed with cookies ('bout time!). That's a lot of action in 5 days!
I will start a fantastic new adventure in just 4 days and I'm trying my best not to freak out about it.
I think this year is going to be full of positive change and growth. I'm really looking forward to it!

Ideas
La Vie Bohème Bakery now has a dessert of the month club. That means I need to come up with 6-12 different desserts. I've been trying to think of lots of desserts and then narrowing it down to the best ones. Here's what I've come up with so far.
- Grandma's Rice Pudding (this was a special request)
- Chocolate Coconut Bars (beyond yummy and I don't even like coconut!)
- Individual Pecan Pies
- Sweet Potato Pie
- Red Velvet Cupcakes
- Lemon Pound Cake
- Apple Spice Cake
- Orange Pound Cake (maybe spice?)
- Banana Nut Bread
- Zucchini Bread
- Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Zucchini Chocolate Chip Cookies (sounds weird, tastes fabulous)
- My Famous Oatmeal Cookies
- Peanut Butter Cookies (once I figure out a recipe that I love)
- Soft Sugar Cookies
- Tea Cookies which are kinda like a sugar cookie (lemon, orange, vanilla, almond)

You Guys Are Cracking Me Up!
Obviously, I'm not as clever as I thought. I believed I had a cute little analogy going. I imagined my readers having a giggle about my tendency to obsess. You were all supposed to tell me different ways to go with the flow and how to know that things would happen exactly when they were supposed to.
While it's true that I am totally addicted to cream filled chocolate sandwich cookies (especially Candy Cane Joe Joes), people I am not really talking about cookies!!!

I May Need Rentheads Anonymous
How wrong is it that when my daughter wanted me to light her eggnog scented candle I made her pretend to be a heroin addicted stripper with HIV?

Cream Filled Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
Dear Readers, I need some advice.
There are few things I love more than cream filled chocolate sandwich cookies (CFCSC). Unfortunately, I am in a situation (let's call it a nasty stomach virus that I know will pass) where I could probably eat this treat but it would cause me, and everyone in my immediate vicinity pain. So I grudgingly agree to abstain and soon I forget about wanting them.
Along comes a box that appears to contain the best tasting CFCSC ever. Knowing that these special cookies probably wouldn't want to be responsible for making me sick, I tell the box about my tummy trouble. The CFCSC say "You're right, as much as I'd like to be consumed by you, I can't participate in something that's so unhealthy".
What??? I don't think I've ever come across a CFCSC that didn't hop right into my mouth as soon as I decided to eat it. So now I want the box even more. But the cookies are right, they would taste so much better once my stomach issues have been taken care of.
It's going to take a long time before I'm over this bug but if I just focus on how much better I will feel once it's gone, I'll be healthier and happier. The problem is that every now and then the box dances in front of me and says "Remember me? You can't have me yet but mmmm, I'm so yummy!" Occasionally, I'm the one to pull the cookies out. I'm not sure why. It's either to torture myself or to see if the box has changed it's mind.
I'm getting to a point where I'm starting to think that these may not just be any old CFCSC, they could actually be Oreos. Oh, how I love Oreos! But what if they aren't Oreos at all? What if they are Hydrox? Those are pretty damn nasty? What if they are Oreos but they get eaten before I get better? There's also the possibility that they never really wanted to be eaten by me in the first place, they just remind me of their yummyness because that's what cookies do.
Although, if I am able to be patient the CFCSC could turn out to be even more amazing than they seem. I may find out that are actually Candy Cane Joe Joe's (!) and of course they wanted to be eaten by me and no one else. Why wouldn't they? Then I can binge happily every after.
Sigh, why can't the Cream Filled Chocolate Sandwich Cookies just stay hidden in the damn pantry? Since they won't, what should I do?
