I really struggle with opening presents "on time" and usually end up convincing the gift giver to let me open the gift early. But, sometimes belated birthday gifts are the best kind because they're so unexpected!
Today, I got home and saw the brown key (aka package key) in my mailbox and assumed it was just another wedding shower gift for my sister. My mailroom lady mocks me because I do a lot of online shopping, so she was kind of surprised when I walked in and told her I wasn't sure why I had another package this week.
I'm pretty sure what happened next will scar the mailroom lady forever. She took out a small red square box with white writing and I shrieked (and probably lunged in her direction), HOPES? FOR ME? Normally I don't show that much enthusiasm for my mail and clearly she has never had Hope's Cookies. I explained that the box contained some of the best cookies ever, but at this point I don't really think she cared...
She quickly handed over the package and by the time I got in the elevator, the box was already open. Here's what remains, sorry I didn't take a picture before I ripped open the box! There are many cookies, each individually wrapped and safely contained in a bag to keep them fresh. I've already tested out the M&M and double chocolate...plan to dig in to a few more flavors after dinner.
Thanks Ber for a great belated bday present!
