Cold Snap and Snacks

The cold weather that has been forecast this week turned up at lunch time today. We have had some freezing rain and here in Addison a very slight smattering of snow. The gritters were out in force too, which surprised me, because by all accounts Texas very rarely freezes.

It was quite funny seeing a lot of people leaving work at lunch time! "Oh its quite icy, best go home now"! Any excuse to slack off...! Pah...I decided to leave at 3 - when in Rome!

It was also, what the staff here call 'Snack Day' so basically they take a whole load of snack foods into work and share them out. I went to get a cup of coffee at 7:30 this morning, and there was a table groaning under the strain of sugary snacks! Cake...Dohnuts...Biscuits....Chocolates...Cream puffs and tons more. Well obviously confronted with all this cake, I started hyper-ventilating, and had to pinch myself to make sure I hadn't died and gone to heaven :-) However by 9am I was feeling really sick, but managed 2 more dohunts and a slice of cake before I decided I should leave it alone for an hour or so.

An hours work out at the gym soon gave me an appetite for more stuff - I was actually doing them a favour, because loads of people had gone home and all these lovely snack treats would have gone to waste!

Well, I gave it my best shot - a true hero :-)
