Dinglehoppers and Other Necessities

The other day I was digging in my purse for something super important (I forget what it was), and found 4 forks. Yes - FOUR FORKS, in my purse. One was dirty (sealed in a ziploc bag), 2 were clean, and one was a broken plastic one. I joked that if anyone ever needed a fork, let me know. What I didn't say was that I also had some stashed away in my desk drawer at work. And so do my co-workers.



So today at lunch, I pulled out my delicious taco salad for lunch, and realized - truly - I did not bring a fork. And I had cleaned out my purse. And the back-ups in my desk have mysteriously disappeared. And my co-workers were gone on their lunch break.



Sigh.



Today's Five:

1. The Union Building is within walking distance, so I went and picked up a handful.



2. Lunch breaks. I was going to be all awesome today and work through my lunch. I'm being replaced with 2 people, which tells you how much work I have. But here I am, lunching away. I love breaks.



3. My husband and kiddos. They took me out for a celebration dinner last night at Jason's Deli.



4. My delicious taco salad. And the ability to eat it with a fork, instead of slurping it up (that was my other alternative).



5. Nice neighbors. I'm lucky to have all kinds of nice neighbors. Yesterday, one saw my kids scared because of the beehive in our basket ball hoop. He came out, sprayed the hive, and knocked it down. Basketball playing is now safe again at our house.
