It Has Begun
Mark it on your calendars -- December 5: The Christmas Season has officially begun, as I sit at my desk and eat employer-provided snackies:
1. fresh pineapple
2. muenster cheese cubes
3. apricot walnut bar
4. chocolate chip cookie
I and have the nerve to wonder why the astronauts can see my ass from space.
There was a brief advent liturgy before the snacks were served, and there is cubicle-decorating and tree-trimming going on as I write, but screw all that -- I'm just in it for the free food. I decorated my own house; I don't need to come here and do more of the same!
You know what's funny? Everyone here is always complaining about needing "healthy alternatives" when we bring in lunch or snacks for a meeting. So we have big platters of fruit, and what's the first to go? The tray of brownies and cookies.
We all give lip service to our coagulated arteries and billious inner-thighs, but we are Lutherans and we LUUUUUUUUUUUV us some baked goods!
Long live Tollhouse! Tune in tomorrow to find out how many varieties of cookies I can combine with margaritas at Vicki's, before I puke up red and green sprinkles!
