Good Morning, all!  it's Friday it's Friday it's Friday!!!  I'm tired, but happy.

Yesterday, I had felt a bad premonition or something like that, and called most of the people I'm closest with, but it seems like everyone's fine.  Didn't get a hold of all, but my fear is alleviated.  I may add to this as the day progresses.

It's hard to hold a grudge against someone who gives me good food.  There's an embittered woman at work who is always complaining whom I have a hard time having a good impression of.  She brought homemade cupcakes with a chocolate buttercream frosting, and I was won over.  I guess it's that "... love you, but right now I just don't like you" situations. (courtesy of Relient K)  Wisconsin may have Kringles, but Maryland (or is it a bigger area than that?) has buttercream frosting.  It's fluffier and the taste is lighter, and more buttery, perhaps.  Maybe if it's manageable, I'll bring some back to the Midwest.  My dad especially loves cupcakes.  He told me that as a kid, he'd hold one in each hand- just couldn't get enough!!  I'm more into brownies.

personal responsibility.
I feel a bit like a mom today.  One of my responsibilities at work is to clean out the fridges on Fridays.  There are maybe 50 people in my office, so they can get pretty bad.  I sent out an e-mail reminding everyone to label, etc. but when it came to checking if things are expired, etc. it was so nasty.  Can't say I have too much of an appetite right now.  I know that it's important that someone keeps the kitchens clean, but it makes life so much easier and the fridge so much less smelly when people keep track of what they bring.  What things have I 'left in the fridge' so to speak, but have neglected?  Where is someone else cleaning up for me?  How awesome of a weekend can I have?
