The End of an Era

I recently learned that Mother’s Cookies abruptly went out of business. Really abruptly – apparently they told their employees a few Fridays ago that production would be stopped as of the following Monday. Good luck finding a new job, right?

Maybe you don’t understand how tragic this is. Mother’s Cookies makes (well, made) those delicious bags of Cookie Parade, which really are the reason the Bwun is here today. Eating six bags in a month will certainly pack on a few pounds.

So let’s have a moment of silence, and sorrow, for the upcoming loss of such beloved cookies.

Although maybe they’ll go on sale now that they’ll be removed from store shelves before too long…time to stock up!

According to the ultrasound man, we can expect this at 7am that day:

Hooray! A blue square!!

Update: since we can’t really put a baby boy into that adorable pink heart skull onesie, here’s my new choice.

And runner up:

Which do YOU like better? (And don’t say neither – seriously, they’re BOTH so great, right?)

Cookie Jar #6

A long time ago (read: when the Romgi was in Korea – the first time), I really, really wanted cookies. But I didn’t have any. I also didn’t have a cookie jar, which would have been cool because then I could have bought cookies and put them in the jar for double awesomeness.

Instead I decided to make a list of things that I was glad for, or that made me happy like cookies would have. Ideally I would’ve written each thing on a separate scrap of paper and put it into a jar, but I just made a list in my handy red notebook.

Then it evolved into jotting down a couple things I wanted at that immediate moment – mocha almond fudge ice cream, for example, or tickets to a particular concert.

So here are some things that I excessively like and would buy, given the resources. And yes, I know some of them are ridiculous.
