About This Project
Cookies for Troops it the efforts of a girl who is committed to reminding the troops that their family, friends, neighbors and communities have not forgotten them, nor will they ever. The method is simple enough: send homemade cookies to the thousands of soldiers, sailors, air men and marines that continue to fight for our freedom. Community involvement in the form of notes, letters and cookies is always helpful. Volunteering to decorate boxes, mix cookies or spread the word is appreciated.

Happy Valetine's Day
Today, is going to be one very long day.

Prehaps, it is because I work with fourteen, count 'em, FOURTEEN not single women. Who, coincidentally, think today is the best day of the rest of their lives.

Prehaps, it is because I had to stop at three, count 'em, t-h-r-e-e stores before being able to find the much needed Starbucks Doubleshots to get my morning off into a nice caffeinated depression.

Prehaps, it is because while I was in the stores, this charming little man who was trying to be quite nice, told me "as pretty as I was, I was going to make someone have a VERY happy Valentine's Day." To which I cheerfully informed him that no one was going to be made happy by ME today. He frowned and puzzled over this for a moment and declared it "just wrong." While I concur entirely, I simply told him "life isn't fair."

Prehaps, it is because I cannot even EAT Valentine's Day cookies without biting holes in the side of my mouth. It's a sign. No depression eating today. Will cheerfully inbibe caffeine until I hyperventalate and twitch my way into oblivion.

In spite of all the things that have gone wrong-- I did recieve flowers. Again, from the unit of Marines who I have sent (more!) cookies. All my squallings and whinings, yet, they won't even be able to spend Valetine's day with those they love.

Thank you for reminding me of how much I DO have.
