Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

I found this recipe on another blog, and it looked so good....I had to try it.  I am the only pumpkin fan in my household of two, so I pawned some of them off on a friend and my mom.  I accidentally forgot the egg (oops) in the first batch...and they even turned out ok...so, I added the egg and finished baking the rest of them.  I can't decide if I'm forgetful...or distracted.

On another note, on Friday I was driving to see a kiddo at a local school and I somehow managed to swallow my gum...and then choke on it.  And then when I got to the school, I had to navigate 3 steps in the hallway, and one minute I was marching along...the next minute I was being helped up off the floor.  I called husband, and he didn't sound shocked at all that I had swallowed my gum, and then tripped and fell down all within 15 minutes.  I called my aunt, who shares my gracefulness and we had a good laugh.

If I had a cooking show, the title might be something like...."What will she forget today?" or "The forgetful cook who falls!"  It's a good thing I can laugh at myself...
