So last Monday, after much questioning... and debate... Meredith and I accepted the position of co-department chairs. We had to set our first meeting were we would be announced as well as conduct our first meeting together. Many people were in attendance from out administration and from the county office.
I was not nervous that is until...
To back track 10 minutes prior to... Baby Nobel got REAL HUNGRY... and I say this because I had just
eaten a bowl of cereal before I left the house. So I warmed up my
english muffin with peanut butter.
mmm... It smelled delicious and I new the protein would end the hunger pains... After 15 seconds in the microwave it was heavenly... I started down the stairs to the conference room... just cramming it in as I scurried down the hall... as I walked into the office the secretary told me that some people had already gone back... she complimented me on my outfit...
however as i rounded the corner she said in the most charming southern voice... "my lands you have peanut butter all down the front of you" ... i looked down and sure enough... it was in my scarf... down my shirt... and skirt... i tried my best to clean up ... and then hide the stains with my also stained scarf...
IT WAS DONE... but it was time. Not even a great smile could detract all eyes from knowing that
I AM A BRIDGET JONES. It did break the ice and make even the most studious colleague laugh... I was prepared and organized and I guess that trumped the smell of peanut butter and large stains with grease spots because yes... it was natural ground peanut butter.
Stay Tuned I feel as if this is just the beginning.
