Holiday Puff

The holiday season is here! A time for thanks, a time for family and friends and most of all a time for good grinds! =)

All the lovely vendors and clients have delivered an aray of goodies to our office - ranging from cookies to waffers to chocolates to cakes to pretzels and mixed salty snacks - ohh the sweet and savory how I love thee; of course I love them separately. I dislike when a meal or dish is both sweet and savory at the same time - that throws off my taste buds!

At any rate, I have been snacking all day, non stop! Let the holiday puff (that is my expanding belly) begin~

=) Merry Christmas to all!!!!

Just my luck, triple whammy!

Planned a nice lunch with some great coworkers... 

Whammy #1: get to our lunch destination and the hostess asks if we want to sit inside or outside.  As it was a bit muggy today, I said "inside!"... the hostess then says, "oops, nevermind there are no seats inside."  boo!!!  Big whammy - so we sit in the muggy heat, outside.

Whammy #2: after stuffing my face with a whole bowlful of loco moco (with scrambled egg), the malasada looked very appealing and only $0.90!  what a deal... so I stuff my face some more and then when I get back to the office... what gets delivered... a boxful of malasadas!!!!  how do I resist... but believe it or not, power to me because I did not take one!  once in a while, I have will power and mostly that is because I knew I had dinner in about 3 hours!

Whammy #3: just got to my dinner destination to exchange gifts with my two highschool friends and the food is delicious!  just as we are finishing our meal... *power goes out*  poof!  my first thought is ... free dinner!?!?!?  but just my luck, their PO system has a 30 minute back up!  *sigh*  at least I walked out of there with a full tummy and satisfied smile due to the great service!  

Even though I encountered the triple whammy threat today, I have two good points that made my night!

1. received an email from my mom who said dinner at grandma and grandpa o's is ON!  this was a surprise and literally brought tears to my eyes.  my grandparents have not been well and we didn't gather last year, so this is a good sign..

2. my friend who is traveling around the world just came a knocking on my door!!!  *knock knock* back for a few months.. let the fun begin~

smiles all around  =)
