Alicia & I got to hang out for a while last night. And by 'hang out' I mean we grocery shopped. We are WILD party maniacs people! It ALL started when blog stalker Jessica said on Twitter she was eating cookie 'butter'... & I thought she meant cookie 'BATTER'... Turns out there's a store called 'Trader Joes' & they have stuff called cookie butter. Who knew?! We all got into a discussion about it & thought we should meet over there one evening.
Jessica 's hubby sucks & works weird hours couldn't make it but Alicia still needed to go so her & I decided to make an evening of it. Up first was dinner at the California Pizza Kitchen.
Yes, she eats for those of you that wonder. And she eats FAST. I had a complex by the end of the evening because she would be finished & I was still working away at my food. Daniel assures me this is because she has kids & I don't. I thought he meant it was like 'survival of the fittest' & she had to eat quickly so the kids didn't eat her food.... but apparently he meant she has to eat quickly so she can take care of her tiny humans kiddos that 'need this' or 'need that' & don't give her a moments peace. Reason #52, people...
The new iPhone operating system (iOS7) came out yesterday & she had trouble getting her phone to update. She tried & tried while we ate dinner & it never would work. I snatched her phone from her thinking maybe I had the magic touch... & I'm not one to brag, but it totally started working....
Unless you're a maniac about your phone like myself & some of my close friends, you won't get this AT ALL...but when your phone is updating it is rendered useless. When I updated mine yesterday I had to leave it at a co-workers house for like an hour & a half for the update to run. OH THE HUMANITY. (The wi-fi at work sucks & you KNOW I can't do it at home in the sticks...) Alicia was having some serious small anxiety issues while waiting for her phone. It came in handy for me that since I was still eating & she was already finished... she couldn't leave until her phone was done.
The pure JOY of getting fun new phone stuff. JOY, people...
And that is also when I lost her company for the evening... I can't blame her though...it's fun new phone stuff! Pssssh!
We finally made it to Trader Joe's. I had no idea what to expect, but it's like a tiny grocery store - like with healthy & organic food.
WE FOUND THE COOKIE BUTTER.
My favorite part was the flowers on the back of their shirts. This is the flower I have on the back of my car!
After grocery shopping, we stopped for ice cream. Yep, she ate ice cream too...
This is what we had to show for the evening. The red arrow is pointing to the one measly bag I got. I bought 3 items: #1-cookie butter (yes, it's SUPER yummy!) #2-cowboy caviar that Alicia said B-rad would LOVE & #3-chips for aforementioned cowboy caviar.
It was a fun night of making fun of each other (I got punched once), teaching each other new phone & twitter tricks & catching up!

I seriously have tears from laughing so hard!! I'm marking down the November date for our GNO. Enjoy your cookie butter!!
I was crying when I read this. SOOO funny. I love that we have so much fun when we are together. Thanks for the date! :)
I love IOS 7! It's awesome! It took me a little while to get mine to download too.
I want to try cookie butter, when is this November GNO?
I eat fast too. I figure if I can eat and get started on cleaning up before the kids are done, it will flow easier.
What is cookie butter? Like cookies mashed up? You guys are fun :-)
Jami-our gno is Nov 16th.
Gretchen-cookie butter is a cross between Peanut butter & cookie dough. Consistency of peanut butter, but takes like you're eating a cookie. Hard to explain-but it's good. You can put it on waffles, toast or eat it by the spoonful! :)
