Cookies

On Tuesday I baked cookies to hand out at school on Wednesday. As usual it didn't make as many as I wanted because everyone always wants them. I would ask, "Do you want a cookie?" The person replied with, "YEAH! Can I have another one too?" So they are popular. And I also didn't burn them which was good because I normally burn at least one trays worth which wastes about twelve. This time I kept my eye on them while they were baking. I brought them to school and tried to save them for the whole day...they lasted until fifth period which was better than the last time I did this. That time they lasted till third period. I always love handing out cookies (chocolate chip) because I know that most people love them and cookies always make people happier!

  2. Meaghan,
    I wanted to tell you that I love your blog, your Flickr site, and your business card! You've done some great work! Your posts have really struck a chord with me, because about a year or so ago, I decided to make a point of doing several things on a regular basis that you've talked about in your blog. I try to be extra mindful of holding a door for someone following me, even if they're not right behind me, and it's amazing to see how pleasantly surprised so many people are just to be the recipient of that small act. Also, like you, I've really tried to smile a lot more at people I pass walking on the street, and to smile and make a bit of small talk with checkout people and baggers at the grocery store, other store clerks, waitstaff at restaurants, etc. It's amazing, isn't it, to see what a nice difference doing something like that can make for others. Most especially, it brightens MY day to do it! :)

    Anyway, keep up the terrific work. And if you decide to have another cookie hand-out day, I'd be MORE than happy to contribute a couple of batches of chocolate cookies to the cause...just let me know!
