Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I have 4 & 1/2 dozen chocolate espresso cookies with a hint of cinnamon (maybe I should call them mexican chocolate espresso cookies?) and 20 fat gingersnaps.

And I'll probably not eat a one. It smells good in here.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Oooh, cookies.

Seriously, I think I like baking cookies solely for the process and the smell.

Burbank is such a wee little airport.

We should all go to sara's for a cookout and cookies! I WANT ESPRESSO COOKIES! It could be an cookie-out.

In other news, I'm within 7 pounds (as of today) of my pre-pregnancy weight. I can wear pants and skirts in one of my weight loss transition sizes (~8) but not tops. How's that for weird?

I like Burbank. It's adorkable. And baggage claim is OUTSIDE! Freaky! I love small airports. Were it an option, I'd use them exclusively. I loved flying into Killeen, not just cause of the fun prop planes. But back then (they've since gotten a new, larger airport) it was basically, lobby area, check in, waiting and baggage claim, none that much larger than my apartment.

but not tops. How's that for weird?

I kinda think I know the reason....

Depending on how greedy my coworkers are on monday (cookies are for a meeting) I think I might be able to provide some delayed gratification.

Currently, yes. All boobs. I am guessing losing the last 7 lbs is going to be a bitch of a thing. Really, I'm dying to go back to yoga already.

Think of the seven pounds as milk.
