Chocolate Covered Apples with Sprinkles

December 22nd, 2008

Today at school the food was out of control.

Our principal bought the staff lunch which consisted of spiral ham, mac n’ cheese, salad, and breadsticks. Thank you principal. Then I head to my office to be surprised by my secret snowflake gift which was a mug filled with chocolate kisses. I go to get a cup of coffee from our office kitchenette where I find the counter completely filled with food. Platters of fruit and veggies, chocolate covered apples, homemade snowflake waffle cookies, frosted and sprinkled cookies, a box of chocolates (from the local pharmacy, no less!), and of course, the original sought after coffee. 

I suppose I should not even bother bringing a lunch from home during the week before Christmas vacation.

I don’t normally do these things, but curiosity and a need to post helped make my decision. Play along if you are also curious or if you have a need to post on your blog. Thanks to Becca for the idea.

Here’s how it works:

1. Put your iTunes on shuffle. 

2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.

3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS!

4. Make a fun/silly/witty comment on your answer. (Don’t feel pressure to do this step…I probably won’t)

5. Tag 10 friends who might enjoy doing the same as well as the person you got the note from. (see side note above)

  • What is your motto? We’re the Trees by the A Sides - I’m a treehugger? I suppose it isn’t that far off…
  • What do your friends think of you? Hoarding it for Home by Mates of State…I’ll try not to have my feelings get hurt by what my itunes answers for me. 
  • What do you think about very often? Hanging by a Thread by Nickel Creek - no comment here.
