Barb and I were talking and I know we had a really good idea for a rant but then I forgot it. I don't know what it was, I just know I'm disappointed that I can't remember what it was because it was good. You would think that if I cared enough about something or was amused enough to rant about it at one point, I would remember what it was for long enough to acutally write about it and put it up, but no, of course not. You know, these are good cookies. Pepperidge Farm Chocolate Chunk Soft Baked Caramel. I was at Kessel today because I had to get a prescription refilled. I assumed that I would drop it off and come pick it up tomorrow or something, but the girl was just like, "Oh we have that, it'll just be a few minutes." So I figure Linda and I can just go wander around for a few minutes until it's ready but it actually turns out to be more like half an hour and we go through the entire store twice. I think they do that on purpose, cause I ended up buying a lot of stuff I probably didn't need. I mean, other than the NyQuil which I need because I'm sick right now and I haven't slept properly since Friday and the Band-Aids which I need because I've cut two of my fingers and I'm not quite sure how, I really didn't need the rest of the stuff. I especially didn't need to spend $2 on a bag of only 8 cookies. But they were on sale! Reading the cookie package "We hope you are as passionate about eating our products as we are in making them." WTF is that supposed to mean? I mean, I like the cookies but it's not like the highlight of my day is gonna be the cookie. Well actually, I have had days where the cookie would be the highlight, but that's besides the point. But anyways, I bought a bunch of food I didn't really need to buy, but then one can never really have too many pizza rolls or cheese filled pretzels. Well you can, but you know what I mean. I was entertained that boxes of pizza rolls were on sale for $1 and I had a coupon for $1.10 off 2 so that ended up being only $.45 a box which is very entertaining. Means that since there are 15 in a box, they are only $.03 apiece. It's probably really sad that I figure things like that out. But it's really all the fault of the people at the pharmacy who said it would just take a few minutes. I'm not really complaining about the pharmacy people because they did have what I needed and I didn't have to come back another day and they didn't complain at me for getting a refil at a different place than where I originally got the prescription. But I'm blaming buying the cookies on them. 6 frickin grams of fat in 1 cookie! Who says a serving size is 1 cookie? That's insane. Though I have only eaten one so far. Oh well, at least it has 4% of the daily value of iron in it. If I eat the whole bag in one sitting (besides it being something like 2/3 of my daily calories) at least I'd get 32% of my iron for today. I just checked and at 140 calories apiece, with 6 grams of fat, that's actually only 39% of the calories from fat. I think you're supposed to try to keep fat calories under 30% but for a cookie it's probably not that bad. Apparently this rant is now about cookies. Oh well, they're good cookies.
