I had never received an email like that before.
When it happened.... I only thought it was a fluke thing.
Then....
It happened again!
This week has been the week to absolutely just PIGG OUT! I've also maintained just an awful-awful schedule. Debbie goes on vacation tomorrow and there are just too many things today. Where was I? Oh, yeah! FOOD....
Monday, after a weekend of thinking about it, I ordered pizza for the office (yay like 3 people). It was AWESOME!! Megan had a group of students playing in her office because David (the hangout office) wasn't there. They ended up eating a whole pizza themselves (medium deep-dish pepperoni and bacon pizza- mmmmmm- not that I could eat it anyway)
It was that afternoon, the first time it happened. I had never gotten an email quite like this before. Most of my 'bigger' emails don't download properly and I would forward them to my gmail to check there. This particular email was simple:
I recognized the name it came from- though I don't really know who it is. The title simply said "Food in room X". There wasn't a body or anything, come to learn, but I thought there would be something more to it. I carefully, quietly, and stealthily made my way to that room. I half expected to be caught at the door and have to sit through someone trying to sell me a condo or something.
When I got there, the room was fairly quiet. A few people were sitting at tables near the front. At the back of the room, there was just a mini buffet of chicken fingers, chips n dip, meatballs, veggies, fruit, iced tea, and cookies. No reason or rhyme to be there. It was very strange. I gathered a plate and just sorta sat down. As I began eating, a few people I knew came in and joined me. It was like a party at work for no reason at all! Pretty Awesome.
So that was like a fluke thing, right?
Nu! And an awesomely NU at that!!
Today, as I was walking back from the vending machine totally defeated because the bookstore hadn't restocked my munchie of choice - Jennifer waved me over. She was eating a piece of cake. Starving (lunch in 2 hrs) and constantly having to smell the yumminess of Subway pizza, subs, soup, and muffins- I was literally drooling when I was all "WHERE'D YOU GET THE CAKE?!?!?!?" She pointed down the back hall of the office and was cool and 'help yourself'.
I walked in to epicness....
I guess that the nursing school had a pinning ceremony (and being nurses we don't eat cake and crap in public). There were 2 FULL sheet cakes (like the size of a counter or even my work desk), sitting there pre-cut into little squares. Next to it were cheese cubes, crackers, chicken salad, and orange juice with pineapple (come to find out!)
I stopped and took lunch right then and there.
And I was bad.....
I realized it about 3 slices into the cake.
We had a conversation about it too. It was hilarious, we started bouncing off the walls and dancing to some youtube videos of J Lo and some other great songs I hadn't heard in years. We both agreed that if you sat us down in front of the cake with a fork- between the two of us, it'd be gone by dinner. So good.
There was so much cake left over, in fact, that I started playing favorites and taking cake over to my favorite people. I (of course) took care of my office (brownie points!) and my favorite teller at the bookstore (Amanda's great!), I took care of my boss (who returned today- what better way to celebrate than with cake?!), and her secretary. I wanted to take one to Linda (cuz she's awesome) but her door was closed so I let it go.

| so delicious.... |
Lastly, I went back and ate my final slice. Does anyone want to go to the gym with me?
It's ok- I repented as institute had this in mind for me:
 |
| This can only end badly. |
 |
| Ok, so it wasn't so bad |
As epic as the cake was, was as not-epic as my skating abilities. This was a good workout- I might have to do this more...
