Monday night, I was sitting at my husband, Jim’s, desk while talking to him on the phone. Jeremy came through and let me know he was going to Chick-Fil-A to get some cheesecake for dessert and asked me if I wanted anything. I really had a hankering for McDonald’s chocolate chip cookies — $1.09 for a pack of three, and wonderful when they’re soft and fresh. It’s not too terribly far from Chick-Fil-A, so, not wanting to interrupt my conversation with Jim, I wrote Jeremy a little note asking if he’d mind getting the cookies. He signaled that he would, then later in the evening I enjoyed my delicious treat.
Jim worked from home Tuesday and left for a little while in the morning to check in with his mom. When he came home he walked in and handed me some McDonald’s cookies. I was thoroughly confused. He said, “You look surprised.”
I replied, “I am!”
He said, “Well, you left a note on my desk…”
Then I burst out laughing and explained about writing to Jeremy last night. I must have accidentally left it there.
Jim said he woke up this morning at around 4:30 not feeling well, and went to his desk and saw my note. He thought to himself, “Well, I’m certainly not going right now!”
It’s a wonder he didn’t say to himself, “What are you thinking, woman?!”
Maybe he did.
But I did enjoy my second batch of cookies!

What thoughtful men you have! Bring on the milk! Funny!
God bless,
Brenda
Sounds to ME like BOTH of those men know how to treat you right!!! Double blessed! That’s what you are! π
Cute! π Like Melli said, you are just doubly blessed! π
I have never done cutwork by hand either although I think it would be interesting to try. Yesterday was my first time doing it by machine embroidery — much easier than doing it by hand, I am sure.
So sweet. My husband is a police officer and often takes me craving “requests” while he’s working the street and I’m pregnant. Isn’t it the best when your favorites are delivered… by your favorites? π
That is so sweet, Barbara! I’ll bet the cookies were yummy!

That is so funny–maybe you should just keep moving the note around and you could keep getting refills!
Very funny! You do have great guys in your life!
I get a little bitter about McD’s chocolate chip cookies. π Not really, of course, BUT – last fall my daughter and I were on our way home from the SCACS state volleyball tournament in Charleston, when I got a hankering for McD’s CCCs. We went through a McD’s drive-through and got burgers, fries, and drinks as well – and didn’t check the order before getting back on the interstate. Guess what was missing?!! I have PAID for three cookies and never got them!
How wonderful! To get TWO packages of cookies! And do your guys know how to treat the woman in their life! *smile*
That’s awesome! You have a good man there! π
So sweet! I can’t imagine what mine would say if he saw such a note.
Haha! So sweet! What a keeper you have!
