For the love of a bagel...

...
I always like to think about random questions that help me evaluate my priorities. For example: the whole would you die for someone you love, etc. (which I would completely do without question by the way…)

There are a lot more fun ones though that I like to contemplate too. Like ‘if you could eat one food for the rest of your life what would you eat’ or the one about ‘if people could describe you in one word what would it be’. I love to throw these outs when we are interviewing potential child life candidates… I somehow always manage to think about these ‘fun’ little questions when I am driving…

you might want to take note and remember that if you are driving next to me on the road it might be in your best interest to move… I apparently am not very focused on driving…

or am I just REALLY confident in my driving ability? I guess that is another question to ponder… while driving…eek.

This weekend I have been working at the hospital a lot to gear up for our big beach trip (more to come on that later!). I have bunches to get done before we leave for a week so the weekend is a great opportunity to knock it all out. Earlier today I was enjoying my lovely Einstein’s bagel…a staple when I was working full time… now--- just a luxury. I was at the last bite when it jumped out of my hands and rolled somewhere in the abyss that lives below my desk.

No biggie right… just the last bite? Then the question forms…

Would you risk crossing socially acceptable boundaries, dive below the desk, perhaps contract some horrible germy disease… all for the love of a bagel?

Apparently, I will. Because let me assure you that I did a couple sideways glances down the cubes and shamelessly crawled on all fours under the desk looking for my last taste of beloved bagel. And I found it…wedged between the trash can and a box of file folders…

30 second rule? Sounds good to me.
