Tuesday - March 8

Today is Fat Tuesday, and you know what that means, beer, boobs and food. For those of us not in New Orleans, Fat Tuesday can easily slip by without celebration, but not for us at the office. In celebration of Mardi Gras, “the practice of the last night of eating richer, fatty foods before the ritual fasting of the Lenten season,” (via: wikipedia, duh) a coworker brought in treats that combined two holidays into one!



(Fat Tuesday) St. Patrick’s Day Shamrock Shortbread Cookies


I’m sure CCL didn’t share store-bought cookies with the old coworkers for such an important day, but I guess it will do. We haven’t had treats in the office for 2 weeks, so it was nice to have some sugar to nom on to help us get through the day.


Of course, when there’s not any treats in the office, we just walk down to Starbucks. It’s so convenient living in Seattle. And, although Starbuck’s wasn’t celebrating Fat Tuesday either, they were celebrating a wonderful milestone of 40 glorious, caffeinated years.


They now have a new logo featuring the Siren riding solo, without the “Starbucks Coffee” words. But really, who needs them? We all know who the beaut is within the famous green circle.

Double Short Non-Fat Vanilla Latte

And because Starbucks knows we need sugar to get us through the workday, whether we have a local CCL or not, from March 10-12 between 2 and 5 p.m., it is giving away a free Starbucks Petites dessert with the purchase of a handcrafted beverage. Love it.
