king for the day!!!!!
Today was one of those hectic, whirlind days. It all started at 7:45 this morning. The problem with that is that it was supposed to start at 5:45. Somehow, I missed the alarm. I was supposed to be at work at 7:00. So, I wake up, look at the clock, and then go into a panic. Of course, I'm not really all that awake. So, I start wandering around looking for my cell phone. I look in my room for a while, them go downstairs and look, then back upstairs, and repeat that for a while. Anyway, I end up at work at 8:30.
But, once I got to work, it got kinda cool. Since Mardi Gras is approaching, a few of the attorneys received king cakes via Fed Ex. Anyway, I delivered one to one of the attorneys on 17 (no, it didn't deliver itself this time, and by the time I had finished my cart, it was sitting on the counter in the coffee kitchen. So, I took a slice, bit in, and there was something hard in it. As I spit it out, it occurred to me what a king cake actually is. See, in baked into a king cake is a bean or something, in this case a little plastic baby. If you get the slice with the plastic baby, you are king (or queen) for the day. And sure enough, the hard thing I bit into was the plastic baby. Which made me king for the day. Which meant absolutely nothing. But apparently, I'm in charge of the mardi gras party next year.
Other day's highlights: free Rolly Polly, FOCUS (West Clifton group is the coolest group ever!!!)
Oh, and I didn't see my shadow this morning.
