Well, I got to remember yesterday what it is like to work in an office full of women. At my temporary job I work on a floor with nine other women and one male. The male is the head of the department (part of which is where I am and the other part in another building) but he stays in his office or next door most of the time. He is a great guy and I do enjoy working with/for him.
Anyway, when you have that many women together, there will be cattiness. And I learned that if you are nice to the one person the majority of the other ladies don’t like – you get blackballed for a while. It gets cliquey. I am just there part-time. Temporarily. I just want to show up, do my work and collect my paycheck. I am not there to make close friends not to make enemies. I treat everyone fairly and won’t gossip about any of them. So when I treated the office pariah nicely – woo hee – you woulda thought that I did something illegal. Ice cold shoulders for me for the rest of the afternoon from a few of the others. Whatever! I am there to work so can we all just grow up and be adults – not act like we are all still in junior high? Today, all is well with the world and they all want to be buddy/buddy with me. Fine, whatever.
After work, I ran to Manassas to get my hair done. I went for a short angled bob with highlights. I watch my hairdresser’s boys on Fridays and she cuts and colors my hair for free.
Then I raced to my parents’ house to collect my children. They had been out of town for the weekend and I hadn’t seen them since Friday afternoon. I was so glad to finally hold them in my arms again.

We headed home and I threw them in the bath. Afterwards we read books and snuggled before bed. Since we hadn’t seen each other in such a long while, they got to go to bed a little later than usual. When they were finally settled into bed, I threw on a load of whites. J walked in the door right after that and as neither of us had eaten dinner yet, I fixed us a quick snack. Then I ironed my clothes for work today, fixed my lunch for today, and then started on a snack for Claire’s Wednesday night class. I had wanted to try these for a while.
First, pour a bag of white chocolate chips into a heavy duty Ziplock bag. Microwave for 30 seconds. Squeeze the bag. Repeat until the white chocolate is melted.
Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Place small pretzel rings (I couldn’t find rings, so I used mini-pretzels.) on the wax paper about 2 inches apart. Snip off a small corner of the Ziploc bag and pipe the white chocolate around the pretzel starting on the outside and finishing at the center so that it makes kind of a white round blob. Top it with a yellow M&M and voila!
It’s a fried egg!

That is too cool! Emma would love these, and good thing there are gluten-free mini-pretzels.
I am going to Wegmans tomorrow, so all I need are the M&M's and white chocolate chips. I am gonna make these for her to take with my parents to Williamsburg. They are going there for the week and are taking her for a few days. So she can have a special snack to eat.
