Soon, wafting through the air like fairies in a dream, will be the sweet smell of baking chocolate-chip cookies. I lick the remnants of the cookie dough from my wooden spoon.
So I think for now, the easier way for me to write this blog is to tell one story a day. I'll stick with that trend for a while, until different inspiration strikes. Maybe this will turn into the 'one story per day' blog, or some such thing.
I was reading the paper in my office today, and came upon a humorous article about how Jersey Shore star "Snooki" endorsed John McCain, "cause ya know...he's cute and I like it when he gives speeches." The article tried to justify itself as legitimate by revolving around Snooki's tragic story of being taxed on her tanning. "Obamacare" is meaner than what cutie McCain would have done. My advice Snooki? Get a bit more sun, and a little less toxic radiation. It's getting to your eyesight. Though "McCainMcCare" sounds kinda catchy.
I laughed out loud in my office as I read. That is, until I realized I was the only one making noise. Considering how healthy and stress-relieving laughter is, it would probably be more efficient for workplaces to promote laughter. I'm sure it wouldn't be that difficult to come up with incentive devices. I think lunch break should be a ritual gathering to watch an episode of the Colbert Report. Added bonus: Natalie doesn't feel awkward when she realizes that her unexplained snorts of joy are the only sound resonating in the office.

I think I may have told you about this, but that's happened to me before a few times.
Last summer, I was working at that company, and I had run out of Pandora time (because they only give you like 40 free hours per month) so I was on Last.fm, getting musing while I worked, but for whatever reason the seeds I gave it gave me stand up comedy. And so, as I was working, I would just randomly start doubling over in laughter. I still got my work done, but I know my office mate was giving we weird looks the whole time.
Anyway, nice story today.
its good to see you blogging again! :)
that whole Jersey Shore thing cracks me up! :)

Thank you guys! I really appreciate the comments. It's nice to know someone reads these.
Ooooh! I like the fairies in the air comparison with cookie scent wafting. You are a genius. Of course when I make cookies the scent is charcoal and it doesn't waft, it permeates and sets off the smoke alarm.
