Day 32

Ya know what makes me happy? When people say “thank you.” It doesn’t take much effort and saying “thank you” goes a long way, in my opinion.

I am heading to the Giants vs. Bears game tonight and that makes me happy. Getting a ticket for the game at the 11th hour makes me happy, too. My friends from NY flew in for the game and I get to spend time with them so that makes me happy.

Birthdays also make me happy and its my friend’s birthday today. He’s a good person and I hope he is happy on his birthday. Once when I was feeling pretty down, he gave me card that said, “When life gives you lemons, throw those lemons back at life and tell life to make its own lemonade.” And he gave me a starbucks card to go enjoy a nice latte and collect my thoughts. I will never forget that he did that for me. It made me happy. (pause for Lemon Twist Oreo)

It’s a good thing that I ran a marathon last weekend because I am eating a lot of Oreos in conjunction with all of the things I have to be happy about.

And here’s the best part…I opened the first package and there were two Oreos missing with a note inside that read

Which, of course, made me laugh.
The note behind it read

Well played T-dawg and Drewser, well played.

I cannot WAIT to share these with everyone at work.

Day 10

Double Digit Day. The blog has reached a milestone folks. Day ten, one zero. Which is why today it’s totally appropriate to post a picture of how the Oreo pile has grown.

BTW, I did not mean to discredit the New Jerseyite yesterday with the “radio silence” comment. I should cut her some slack. Afterall, she is 8 months pregnant. I heard from her late last night and like all of us here in Chi-town, she is kicking herself for not buying multiple packages of the lemon twist Oreos when the opportunity presented itself. Once she finds them again, she assured me they will be mailed promptly.

ALERT!!!new challenge
No narrative explanation necessary.

A special someone just came by for an Oreo…my big boss…Assistant Vice President, or AVP as I affectionately call her. Anyhoo, she asked for selection advice and upon learning that she had NEVER TRIED THE BIRTHDAY CAKE creme-filled golden oreo I practically shoved it in her mouth. She admitted that she was nervous that I had set the bar too high and that the cookie would not live up to its lofty expectations. Fear not! I tell the truth about my Oreos and she was happy. A few of us then launched into a philosphical discussion about how hard it is to replicate the taste of birthday cake. It takes just the right amount of care because the sweetness and consistency have to be just right. Good job Oreo gods! But I digress, what makes her happy is gardening. If she won the lottery, she would garden and/or build a greenhouse. Then she said at the end of the day, she would relax with a book, in an adirondack chair, filling her nose with the sweet smell of fresh greens all around her. That DOES sound nice.
