C+S=HC
Friday, April 8, 2011 at 5:45PM Not only do we get to work with beautiful yarn all day, we get stuff like this in the mail.
Surprise brownies? And a note telling me I only have to share one, and then I am free to consume the rest in one go?
Why yes, I do think I've found my dream job.
I did share. Some of them.
Emergency chocolates?
Absolutely!
And I ate the last one after I took this picture.
Coffee? Trader Joe's care packages? Christmas ornaments?
Clearly, y'all have learned that the key to our hearts is contained in this equation:
Caffeine + Sugar = Happy Campers (C+S=HC)
It's time to build body fat stores for summertime!
We have no air conditioning, and the stifling conditions mean we sweat most of the day. I need plenty of calories stored in easy access locations, just in case my reserves run low. Right?
Heaven forbid I have to work with yarn when my body fat percentage dips below 30! That would be scandalous.
I'm not sure what I've done to deserve such generosity, but I am very, very grateful for it.
Thank you, everyone, for the treats, the notes of encouragement, the gifts, the tech support... there's not a kindness that goes unnoticed.
Yes, it's time to queue the violins and pass the tissues and eat the brownies.
And say thank you again.
Takk.

Maybe I need to rethink my career path. I do not ever get surprise brownies in the mail at work. Ever.
However, it does allow me to fund my 3IG yarn habit.
I think you deserve chocolate in all forms for the month you've had!!
(Those look suspiciously similar to the brownies Matchstick was eating....)
So glad to see the brownies got there (no, not claiming credit...I was just aware they were headed your way :-) ).
You know, you should run a contest where different people send in their baked goods, and the best cookies/brownies/cupcakes gets to design a colorway, or something like that.
You'd be swimming in baked goods!
You know, Amy, the brownie fairies can't visit you if they don't know your address. ;)
And I'm glad you liked them!
Take care!
