God Bless the Inventor of the Elastic Waistband
Ah, the Holiday Food Table -- bane of my ever-expanding existance.
It's a tradition where I work to have a Holiday Food Table the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of the week before Christmas. People sign up with whatever they're going to bring each day.
I'm signed up for Thursday, and I'm making my Famous and Eagerly-Anticipated chocolate chip cookies (or are these people worthy of Igor Bars...?) and probably some Tastefully Simple cheeseball-type product.
You know who I hate? The asshole who brings a box of candy canes as his/her contribution. First of all, if anyone actually eats a candy cane, it's one per year, tops. Secondly, is that really the best they could do? I mean, they were obviously in Walgreens -- they couldn't get a package of Oreos or something? Pathetic. Don't let me catch you eating my cheeseball, you cheap bastard!
Candy canes aside, Tuesday's table had a pretty good spread. By 9:00 a.m., I was already burping up taco dip while eating Keilbasa sausage with my fingers. An exceptional way to start the day, by anyone's standards. And for dessert? (Yes, breakfast comes with dessert. Well, at least second breakfast does.) Frango mints!
Life is good, my friends. I may have been sluggish and unable to concentrate for the rest of the day, but by God, it was worth it.

OK, when I first read the title of this, I thought you were blessing the ELECTRIC waistband. And I was really, REALLY curious as to just what an electric waistband was and did. Color me disappointed.
