There was a clutter and a clang followed by a burst of song. Purply pink flowers in a beautiful arrangement and the aroma of hot dogs. French fries, corn dogs, wrappers and ketchup packets litter the conference room table. Work, step aside! Crack open a beer? Why not?! It is an unexpected birthday celebration brought by friends with hearts the size of my appetite for hot dogs.
Did you know that to give the best thank you hugs sometimes you have to stand on a chair and hug downwards? Try it.

[...] I have been upping the ante on my work lunches lately. It takes a little extra time in the evenings but the next day, with a little hunger rumbling in my belly, I look glance to the upper right corner of my screen checking them time and ponder, “Hmm, what should I have for lunch today?” only to remember “Whoppeee… I packed a healthy, tasty lunch.” Don’t get me wrong, the excitement doesn’t compare to that of a surprise hot dog lunch delivery. But, a colorful, flavorful dish makes eating healthy during the work day MUCH easier. These sweet potatoes tasted BETTER the next day and I actually preferred it cold like a potato salad. [...]
