I hate having to title each post. That being said I am hoping for a quiet weekend. This week seemed to drag and I've started a new habit that isn't helping. Every morning this week Boy has been waking up at about 5:45. I've been giving him a bottle and letting him lay in our bed where he eventually falls asleep. Then when our alarm goes off at 6:45, it's all but impossible to get up. I just want to stay snuggled up. Plus, I always find short week drag on.
This week at work we had an "International Day" party to honor Martin Luther King Jr.. Not really sure what baked ziti has to do with his legacy, but what do I know. I go back and forth on these office parties. There are always the people that go crazy and make a ton of food and spend a ton of money and then the people who bring a bag of chips. And the people that overextend themselves always take issue with those who don't, even if it's the majority. How much cake can people eat anyway? I never like to eat any of the stuff and it's usually on a bad day for me to make anything the night before, so I usually pick up cookies. The last time I made myself nuts trying to find good cookies and nobody ate any of them, so I've stopped caring. This time around I tried to be a good sport and agreed to make a dish. I'm Polish, I bought kielbasa. When I came into work Tuesday and realized that most of the food was sitting out from 7:30 am until noon when the party started, I knew I wouldn't be eating any of it. I have a lot of food issues and I was already hesitant to eat food that people had made but once I realized that it was unrefrigerated for that length of time then put on a sterno, I knew I'd pass. I heated my dish up in the microwave right before the party but since there was barely any room due to the gigantic sterno, my stuff got put on top of the coffee pot, out of the way. It only ended up reinforcing how I do not like participating in these functions. Just leave me alone to eat my stupid PB&J in peace.
