Hmmm...after reading that out of context, I suppose I had better point out that the "cookie" Sexy Nerd was referring to was indeed a real cookie, which I snuck onto the driver's seat of his truck as a surprise. Oh, and I have totally destroyed him in all 8 of our games of Words with Friends. Muah ha ha! Sadly for Sexy Nerd, I wasn't quite as sweet with my reply: Aww! You write the cutest, spur-of-the-moment emails. It kinda almost makes me feel bad for planning to make that delicious eggplant pasta for our dinner tonight. Almost. (You would hate for the eggplant
