Cookies, cookies everywhere....

I started to just put this article in as a place holder, as I knew I was going to be pretty wiped out when I got home (as I am now), and had thought of this earlier today when I didn't have the time to put in an article.  As it turns out, I have some time and even though I'm feeling nigh on exhausted, I think I can finish my thought in a reasonable manner so I'm going for it...

The article title is in regards to the training that I've been in over the last several days.  One the first day that the class was in training the training facility put out cookies in the afternoon.  Everyone, or almost everyone, in the class headed out to the break room during the afternoon break so they could grab a cookie and scarf it down.  Day 2 and day 3 continued that pattern but with much less success in participants in the class I'm in finding cookies.  It seems that other classes in the same training center were grabbing the cookies before my class could get to them.  Uh oh!  Got us all hooked on the cookies but then didn't have enough for us.

Even though I took in some donuts yesterday, the lack of cookies in the afternoon had everyone a bit disappointed.  So after getting home at a reasonable hour last night, I took the time to visit the warehouse membership club place and grab a couple dozen cookies (two containers full).  I also stopped off this morning (since I wasn't running late) at the grocery store where I was able to pick up 3 containers of brownies along with my Starbucks fix.  No way my classmates and I would be going hungry this afternoon.

As I got into the classroom this a.m., it seemed that great minds were thinking alike.  The instructor for the class had grabbed 4 bags of cookies at Trader Joes.  So, as the article title says, we had cookies, cookies everywhere.  And brownies. :D  We had plenty left over today, and may have some extras tomorrow that my classmates can take home to their young ones (if the cookies make it that far).  Either way, no one should be going hungry.
