Anyone care to join me for some chocolate chip cookies? I've been in full scale funk mode since rumors of this month's referral batch started. When I'm in a funk, healthy eating tends to go out the window and sweets start looking really good. When the cravings started kicking in this evening, I thought about the I Can Make You Thin guy from the TLC show and his wacky trigger point tapping technique for about one nanosecond right before I put the cookies into the oven. Oh well, so much for that show!
So, who else is totally funked out with this month's news? Five days...give me a break! After the last two 8 day batches I was having visions of actually getting a referral in September. Ha, that vision has faded and now I'm getting a sinking feeling that October or November is looking more likely. Just thinking of getting through another Christmas without our daughter is making me nauseous...wait, or is that the plate of chocolate chip cookies. Hmmmm....

Aww I'm sorry. I may pull up a plate with you. Here's hoping that rumor is wrong and it's many more days.
Those cookies look so good. I'll be having a drink with mine...do you think we'll ever get a referral?
Keep your chin up girly..
Maybe it is only for this month and then it will speed up..
We have to stay positive..
Lauren WILL be in your arms soon..
HUGS..
I will take a cookie please...
I saw that show! Wasn't that hilarious???
I'm not even in line anymore, and this month's cutoff date has got me bummed out. I'd help you eat those chocolate chip cookies, my friend.
I am funked. 5 days stinks...and so many rude and angry comments on RQ this month. Quite Dismal. Cookies. Yum!
The day is coming and I just know you will post it:
A picture of you and Lauren enjoying homemade cookies that you both just made together!

Not only am I sorry, I'm disgusted that "they" are allowing this to happen. Thinking of you.....
tap tap....tap tap tap....awe stink! Just pass the cookies!!
Praying things will change next month or at least in June. The spring referral dips we've seen for the past 3 years are not fun!! This year friend....this year for you!!!
Pass the milk...sharing in the funk and in the cookies.
Keep smilin!
I LOVE Chocolate chip cookies! They are my favorite indulgence and boy, have I been indulging the past week! I was kind of thinking you are very optimistic with an Oct guess. Fine with me! I was pessimistically thinking possible referral Dec/Jan. Prove me wrong! =) Munch...munch...munch....
Donna, now your talking my language!! COOKIES!! They always make me feel better. Hang in there I know the funk your feeling. I'm right there with you. You will me a mama this year!! Love ya girly!! Hope
Hmmm. Trying not to think about the stupid rumours. I really liked the sound of the 15th!
Your cookies look fantastic! I've got some store-bought choc chip cookies in the cupboard... now I need some!!! Yours like much better though!
OK pass them over here with a big glass of ice cold milk please. Chocolate is the only thing pulling me out of my "Funk Mode" Hang in there my Panda Sista you will have Lauran before the end of the year have faith..
Love ya
Susan
I will have a cookie or two... I haven't had one in quiet a while... take care and fingers crossed...
I did my first grad school internship with someone who swore by that tapping technique (I forget the name of it). Some people swear by it, Donna.
I'm not one of them. I think it's wacky too!
Those cookies look delish!!
((((Cyber hugs to you))))
Anne
Forget the milk, I'll take mine with an adult beverage or two! Hang in there, we will get there eventually.
Suz
no, no, no, you will get your referral before Christmas!!! All my thoughts are with you!!!
HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm right there with you! Can I have a dozen or so? Wait, better make that just one or two -- I can't afford to purchase new pants because we have to update again. :)
Num....can I have a big bowl of chocolate fudge ice cream to eat with those warm and chewy cookies?
Terri
Sent me some cookies, my friend. I am kind of bummed out about this too.
Lisa
Just made some chocolate chip cookies here, also. Those adopting from Vietnam need their fair share of comfort foods, too.
Aunt Donna,
You're making me really hungry!

P.S. If you buy those giant tubs of Nestle cookie dough, you can get like 3,000 cookies! Personally, I think the dough is better raw!
