Things that I have eaten for free today at work:

• Pizza Luce
• Chocolate Chip Cookie
• Cherry Cobbler (with home-grown cherries)
• Two Mini Cupcakes from “Cupcake”
• And I drank a Sprite.

It’s a fattening day at the museum.

Also, during staff meeting, we had a farewell tribute to Katie Nyberg, who works in our development office. Loads of cheesy wishes were sent her way and she was visibly moved — she’s been here 9 years and has accepted a new job in St. Paul. She will be missed!

And I would totally hate it if someone made me cry at staff meeting, even if they were happy tears. Which is why I can never leave this museum.
