And, we're not in Chicago...
...but........
what a pleasure work at a place where the people actually LIKE each other.
I am so used to working with sort of gossipy-rude-mean-witchy women and men who try to on-up each other all the time.
..a pleasure....
One young girl is leaving to have her first baby. They decided to give her a surprise party. Now remember, we are an office of mostly young men-I think I have things in my fridge older than most of them... yet everyone was so kind and really happy for her -a pleasure.
And it was a pleasure to bake cupcakes for the party. My idea.
The one thing I didn't count on was rain.
A lot of rain.
Buckets of rain.
And me trying to figure out how to get 47 decorated cupcakes from my kitchen to my car - then from the car to our office.Hmmm...
As I looked at the cupcakes, I was trying to picture how they would fit, your know, spacely (I know what I am trying to say here - just don't know the word for it..space-il-ly...)
If necessity is the Mother of invention - I think I was adopted...
I need something deep, to not mess up the frosting...and something long....why?? bee-cause... I made lots of cupcakes...lots.... and lots....
I KNOW! a DRAWER!! Huh...???
Yep, a drawer. I had it all figured out.
Emptied the drawer - carefully placed the cupcakes in the now emptied drawer...row after row...
Poo.
Think,,think..think...hey, just like Winnie the....Poo(h)...
Then I remembered the storage thingy we got for those long rolls of Christmas papers -whadda ya know - it worked and had the extra bonus of a lid... Waxed paper be gone!
... and remember....you can keep a lot of things on your drawers, but cupcakes probably shouldn't be one of them...

What beautiful little cupcakes you made Colleen!! That took a lot of work too! You must have earned major brownie (cupcake) points with the entire place ~ so so smart to take them in the wrapping paper thingee!! I know you didn't want all your hard work ruined...hope you have a great Friday!! xxoo, Dawn
Oh my gosh, those cupcakes are adorable! They just make me smile..so pretty :o)
I bet they would be best friends. She is a doll. They may fuss over the glitz hehe.
Love the cup cakes.. you are so special. I guess I missed the post about your new job. Where are you working? You seem happier there anyway.
You are a doll! Wanna come work at MY office? We could use some cupcakes there! LOL!
Glad you're fitting in so well at the new office (as if there was any doubt!)

Oh Yes, Lovin' those cuppies. Obviously your workmate did too. What an ingenious (did I spell that right) little person you are. I seriously hope they appreciate you (apart from the cupcakes) at your office.
Hugs, Coll :-}
