Day 13

Lucky 13. And 13 is lucky and let me tell you why. So after the triathlon yesterday, we busted through the finish to find this at the post-race food tent.
oreo vat at least 6 of these bad boy vats of oreos, some even double stuf!
What the what? Dream come true. I ate many.

We also went to the grocery store the night before the tri to get some breakfast food and my friends (who did not even know about the existence of the golden oreos, let alone the birthday cake creme filling) bought some as a post-race reward. I will post their feedback as soon as I receive it. And I am sure I speak for both of them when I assume that finishing a triathlon makes them happy.

The nice guy at the grocery store checkout was amused and intrigued by this Oreo blog. He said when he got home, he was going to check it out. I wonder if he did. Things that make you go hmmmmmmm.

Day 3

Oh.

My.

Goodness.

America, we did it.  According to the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations, the United States is no longer the most overweight industrialized nation.  Awoohoo!  OREOS FOR EVERYONE!!! But I beg of you, please eat them in moderation as we do not want to reclaim our helm at the top of the fatness hierarchy too quickly. Who knew that coming in second place could feel so good? 

I was going to wait until Monday to broadcast this but since we now have the official word that our bellies have a little room to grow, I just can’t hold it in…Twinkies are coming back to the shelves on Monday, July 15, 2013. Both myself AND Bart Scott “CAN’T WAIT!” 

Oh Twinkies, how I’ve missed you so. 

Talk about happiness. This news makes me happy. I am going to have an OREO to celebrate.

“The lions in front of the Art Institute of Chicago make me happy.”  ROAR!!!!

“Kickball makes me happy.”

“Peach tones make me happy.”  Hmmmm, apparently SOMEbody is doing a little remodeling.  Peach is nice, pretty neutral.  I would probably go with beige or tan though. Oh, wait, what’s that?  Ahhh, right, you didn’t ask for my opinion.

Day 2

Ha!  What do you know!?!?  Before she took a bite, my boss just told me that it makes her happy “talking to me about Oreos!”  Happy Hump Day.

“I am happy that it is my wedding anniversary and I get to spend it here at work with all of you rather than with my wife.” (I think I sensed a bit of sarcasm in his tone) Happy Anniversary!

“Having friends at work with Oreos makes me happy.”

“Caprese sandwiches make me happy.”

Day 1

“My kids make me happy.”

“I love getting free trial size makeup samples – especially from Bobbi Brown.  Wooo-hooo!”

“The control forward arrow shortcut on the computer keyboard makes me happy.”

A former teammate who recently moved on to another team within our organization told me that she loves coming to get Oreos because she “loves visiting her old team.”
