Office Potluck

All the Reps in my office decided to have a potluck lunch this past Monday. You can tell what the guys brought (store-bought pastries and doritos) versus what the girls brought (fried chicken, chili, vegetable medley, etc.). Val brought two lemon iced pouncakes and I ate six pieces. She cut them in half, so technically that is only three slices- not so bad. I'm noticing the recurring theme of food in my posts.
So one other new thing in the life of the Butts is the new and improved study breaks. For those of you who don't know any Medical Students, let me just tell you that all they do is study. Sometimes, however, Caleb likes to take a break from the chair. This usually leads to this conversation:
Caleb: "I need a break"
Tricia: "What do you want to do?"
Caleb: "I don't know- just not study."
Tricia: "Do you want to watch some TV?"
Caleb: "Not really."
Tricia:
"Do you want to drive around for a while."
Caleb: "No...."

Tricia: "Do you want to choreograph an 8-count for Med School Prom?" (which is in two weeks by the way!)
Caleb: "Do I look like Boo Boo or Lindsey?"

Then we end up watching the last 10 minutes of a Scrubs episodes and he goes back to studying.

SO- we have decided to make the most of study breaks and have planned activities. This is working pretty good so far. We played an exhilarating round of "The Office" Board Game (thanks Molly for the great Christmas gift!) the other night, and I have to say that it is a fabulous game!
I was Phyllis and Caleb was Kevin and there are lots of fun little twists and turns to the game. For example, you vie for the "Support the Rabbid" wristband (seen above) and have to wait until Michael is out of the room to win a "Dundie."

I would recommend this game to all Office fans everywhere. It tests your knowledge to the extreme.

That conversation is EXACTLY what goes on between me and Brad during my study breaks. I think our brains get so fried we just don't want to think about anything. haha I'm in nursing- I can't even imagine med school.

Love your commentary on office potlucks. It is definitely obvious what men brought and what women brought! And I have enjoyed looking at your photography too...you are so talented!

He he he!!! Please make an eight count for the med school prom.

By the way, I always insist on being Kevin in The Office board game. Caleb and I think just alike! However, I was really disappointed to find that there wasn't an Andy head or he would always be my selection.
