Rainy days and Fridays....

First off, happy birthday wishes to clintswan, who I think is one of the best-looking, hardest-working guys on here!

The office Bake Sale was a success, raising over $100 for our end year holiday party fund. I made it home with 20 cupcakes, which isn't bad considering I left home with 50. Ah well, next year, I'll try something different. It doesn't stop me from shooting dagger stares at the Foghorn though. Grrrrr!!

One of my coworkers, who is from Ethiopia, brought something neat for the sale, "sambrusas" -- ground meat with peppers, onion, garlic, and spices, sealed in a small breaded wrap and fried. They were INCREDIBLE!! They sold out of them in 30 minutes and I was lucky to get two of them. I've definitely got to get the recipe for those.

It's raining today and very dull. I should have taken off, but I have a conference call at 1 PM, dang it! Weekend plans are up in the air. Not sure what I'll do. Any suggestions? Movies to see?

Friday Questions

I'm just home from the gym and very tired. Thought of a few curious queries while going around on the elliptical trainer (well, between shots of Colin Farrell on SWAT, which was playing in the cardio cinema).

1. If you could see the past, what five events would you like to observe?
