No More Cookies, Please!

Wow, those are words I never thought I would say since cookies are my second favorite food group. But if you walked through my office building, you would understand. I believe that almost every employee and volunteer has made some sort of baked good and brought it to work. We also have more volunteers than employees and they seem to have a lot of time on their hands and a keen interest in baking.

If Bacchus served sweets and pastries, my office could rival one of his blow outs.

So far I haven't over indulged. A plateful of assorted, homemade cookies from someone I don't know is enough of a deterrent for me. But there are some treats that co-workers make that I look forward to each year.

Plus the aromas can be awfully distracting. Yesterday afternoon I knew that I smelled cinnamon and sugar from somewhere. It was driving me nuts. I finally discovered the coffee cake one cubicle over. I was able to pass because it already looked like it had been set upon by a pack of wolves.

That makes me wonder how much weight my co-workers will collectively gain this holiday season.
