I have committed to putting the twinkie down long enough to type Happy Monday morning.  Under normal circumstances, Monday mornings would not be so happy, but twinkies are back.  Hip Hop Hooray!  Twinkies make me happy.  I am going to have an OREO.

I also have to share a crazy story that truly demonstrates that OREO gods do exist!  My friend is in DC for two weeks for work.  She had a dreadful week last week – leaving her sick child behind for the week, delayed flight (didn’t get in until 4am) lost luggage and a stolen credit card to boot!   Anyway, I thought I would make her smile at the start of her second week stint so I called up Sticky Fingers Sweets & Eats Bakery in DC (you Cupcake Wars peeps know what I’ m talkin’ ’bout) and asked if I could order 3 cupcakes to be couriered over to the hotel where my friend was staying so that they would be waiting for her when she checked in.  When I placed the order, I did NOT specify any cupcake flavors because far be it from me to discriminate.  I just said, please send her three of your best cupcakes!  Well, wouldn’t cha know that one of those cupcakes flavors was…  You guessed it, OREO!

In other happy news, my cubicle mate is back at work.  She was on vacay and it was very lonely without her.  Plus she is an integral part of the Oreo frenzy here and she has been out since the blog started.  As it turns out, she had an Oreo when I was away from my desk.  Given her recent absence, she didn’t know that she had to say what makes her happy before she took a bite.  When she told me she had an Oreo (a new type of Oreo that was not here when she left to go on vacation), I promptly informed her of the new rules.  Without a moment of hesitation she said,

“WOW BAO MAKES ME HAPPY!”  Welcome back to the office friend, welcome back.
