If You Never Hear From Me Again, You’ll Know Why
March 17, 2006
I got this in the mail yesterday:
Prompting the following conversation with my husband.
“Who sent you this package? How do you know you can trust her?”
“Oh, I am sure she has been pretending to be my friend for years, just plotting for a time when she could bake batches of poisonous cookies and mail them to me. Her blog, her family, her entire online personality has all been a rouse which she hid behind so that one day she could kill us all.”
“It could happen.”
“You didn’t feel that way about the huge stack of books I got two weeks ago from Miss Peach. There could be anthrax or something similar lurking between the pages slowly poisoning us all.”
“Well, that seems unlikely…”
“Just to be safe you had better not eat any of the cookies or read any of the books.”

Oh my goodness! We must be married to the same man!

March 17th, 2006 at 10:40 amMy husband said the same thing when an online friend sent me some handmade soap. He forbid us all to wash with it.
What is it with men???
March 17th, 2006 at 10:59 amAgain, my idiot factor is on high-alert today (ALL 3 kids up @ 6am today. I mean, C’mon! It’s St. Patty’s Day NOT Christmas!!!). At first I thought YOUR HUSBAND received the cookies and was about to post a question as to why this woman would be sending him cookies and OMG! DON’T EAT THEM b/c I clearly have watched way too many made-for-tv movies!
March 17th, 2006 at 11:06 amThose look so delicious !
I’d be tempted to eat them even if they came with an Agatha Christie novel. LOL
March 17th, 2006 at 11:09 amlook at all those cookies…mmm`
March 17th, 2006 at 1:19 pmI. Am. So. Busted.
March 17th, 2006 at 2:05 pmI’m glad they look like they arrived intact. Dan packaged them up at work, so I was worried you’d get a box full of crumbs.
J is the best! I’ll come over and eat them if you need help. I definitely trust her.
March 17th, 2006 at 2:07 pmCan you imagine what you’re tomstone would say - She died happy, while eating a huge plate of cookies. Not a bad way to go. Enjoy them.
March 17th, 2006 at 2:20 pmTell me they have nuts in them so I can’t volunteer to eat them for you! Look yummy!
March 17th, 2006 at 2:49 pmOh, snap, he’s onto me!
Mmm, cookies are infinitely better than books though. And a better delivery method for poison. So of the two of us, I think she’s the more likely suspect…
March 17th, 2006 at 3:34 pmMen are so suspicious…but if that were beer and hot wings…poison? what’s poison?
March 17th, 2006 at 4:54 pmI just went to see J’s blog and she is just one amazing Momma, you just enjoy those cookies and don’t listen to that hubby of yours. I think he secretly wanted them to himself, did he offer to dispose of them for you?
March 17th, 2006 at 8:16 pmSince I found my husband on the internet, he is more open to these types of things.
I want someone to send me cookies and books!!
March 18th, 2006 at 1:13 pmHe sounds sooo much like my husband! He thinks EVERY person on the web is evil and just waiting to mess with someone. So I say..”Um…honey, am I evil? I’m on the web and I’m not messing with anyone.” MEN!
March 18th, 2006 at 9:17 pmDude. I should post my address on my blog….
Then again….maybe not.
