Winner Winner, Who's the Lucky Winner?

"The time has come," the Walrus said,"To talk of many things: Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--Of cabbages--and kings--And why the sea is boiling hot--And whether pigs have wings."

I will send out a bonus package of cookies to the first person who can correctly tell me where the above quote comes from.

Late Wednesday night, My husband and I were restless and decided to take a drive. We ended up going 4 hours south of us to Columbus, TX, where my husband lived as a child. It is a small little town that has not changed at all, he says, in the last 20 years. It was neat to get to see where my husband played little league at and how far he had to ride his bike to get there. I was not able to take any pictures, as this was a spontaneous trip, I left the camera at home.. We stayed the night and headed home Thursday afternoon. It has been a while since we made a spontaneous trip. It was quite fun. I have noticed that in all the small towns we went through, there was always a Dairy Queen that looked like it has not been changed since the '60's. But enough of that...

I'm sure you all are ready for me to announce the winner, right? Okay here it goes. I put every one's name in a bowl, those who are followers got their name put in twice, and the winner is:

Sandy

Since I didn't have that many people enter, I drew a second name for just a batch of cookies. The winner of just cookies is:

DiPaola Momma

Congrats to the winners!
Please email me with your address so I can get your package out!
And don't forget about the bonus cookie offer!
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Table for One.. Please??

Since my husband has started working nights and I work all day, I only see him in passing on my way to work. By the time I get home from, he is long gone. Which means I am left to do my own thing most nights.
The other night I decided to go to IHOP for dinner. I brought my book so I could read whilst eating, and just hang out for awhile after I was done eating. When I walked in the hostess asked how many in my party. I said just one. She looked at me like I just committed the biggest social fuax puax! Of course my waiter also looked at me the same way, especially when I pulled out my book..
Is it not okay to go dine by yourself anymore? Is it that big of a deal to eat alone? Is it crazy to want to read a book while eating by yourself? They can keep looking at me like I'm crazy because I'm going to keep on reading and dining by myself!
Also, don't forget to sign up for my giveaway! You have until tomorrow!!
