C Is For Cookie

I got this meme from Nancy, and here are the instructions copied and pasted from her post: If you want to play, the game is… Make a comment saying so and I give you a letter. You then have to think of 10 words that start with that letter and they must mean something in particular to you and your life.

When Nancy gave me the letter “C”, the first couple of minutes brought only “cheese”, but then there was a rush of “C” words.  So, I’m going to cheat and do more than 10, because I’m a big Cheaterhead.

——————————————————————————

Canoga Park - the city where I was born.  Our part of the city changed to West Hills when I was a kid, so I guess I’m officially from there now.

Christopher Columbus Jr. High/Chatsworth HS - where I spent my formative years, or maybe not all that formative.  I mostly thought about softball.  And more softball.

Casino - I live in Las Vegas.  Mmmm, casinos…food, gambling, movies.  What could be better?

Cilantro - I love, love, LOVE cilantro.  I would buy cilantro perfume if I could…and make Leigh-Ann wear it.

Cheese - Staple of pizza.  Staple of “...& crackers”.  Staple of “macaroni &...” Staple of popcorn topping.  Staple of my life.

Canada - Girlie from there.  Have five zillion t-shirts that are Canada related.  Leafs.  Coffee Crisp.  I (and lots of others) have an internet godchild there.  If you don’t believe in God, can you have a Godchild?  I mean the child still exists whether I believe or not.  Oh, and Ron McLean and Don Cherry.

Cats - need I say more?

Cactus - on the left side of the yard. 

Combunox® - “...first and only product to combine 5 mg of oxycodone HCl and 400 mg of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) ibuprofen”  It helped a lot after my surgery.  I had stronger stuff, but w/Tylenol added instead and it didn’t help nearly as well or last as long.

Cheapy Chicken (name not coined by Albertson’s, Inc) -  The chicken that Albertsons puts on sale because it’s getting too close to its “sell by” date.  They put the most excellent seasoning on it.  So it’s super yummy and super cheap.

Coffee -  Mmm.  Espresso drinks.  Yum.  The smell of fresh coffee.  Delightful.  Coffee Fest, the best convention ever…and the best smelling.  We always meet such nice people there, and taste lots of fabulous foods & drinks.

Computer - Why are we all here right now?  How would I pay my bills, order our pizza, get news, make new friends (see sidebar), get excellent gossip, learn new stuff, play fantasy sports , make money, buy books, and such.

Catcher - I played catcher most of my youngish life, from the ages of 10 to 25.  I have the sore knees to prove it. (third base too, but there isn’t even one “c” in it to let me cheat and mention it here)

Clinton - I used to like him much much more.  Now I’m starting to think that he was a lovely moderate Republican.  We went to a John Kerry Rally at the Clark County Govt. Center in October 2004, just to see Bill Clinton.  It was one of his first appearances after his open heart surgery.  He’s a pretty spectacular speaker.  In this picture, I think he’s touching Leigh-Ann’s hand.

Christmukkah - A perfect and convenient blending of gift giving and buying, for those of us who love that part of the holidays.

Colbert - Stephen Colbert.  Modern Day God.

And no “C” post would be complete without: C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me Oh, cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C
