Whole lotta lovin'

We had a full plate of important faculty business at the faculty meeting today, but a plate of cookies took the cake. The Advancement office provided some really luscious heart-shaped Valentine cookies to let the faculty know how much we are loved, but those cookies sat on the big table up front through the course of most of the meeting. Finally, in the last 15 minutes, a rumble arose from the upper right corner of the big room and a brave colleague came forward to take the cookies and start passing them around. Who cares about curriculum? Let 'em eat cookies.

Wow, it took that long for someone to have the courage to eat cookies?!

It's a big room with around 100 seats arranged theater-style, and the cookies were way up front so that anyone who wanted to get one would have to walk up there in front of everyone. Kind of awkward. A few lucky people grabbed cookies before they sat down but the rest, alas, had to salivate from a distance.

A plate of those same lucious cookies made their way to my house last night. Yummy!
