He is risen!

But the angel answered and said to the woman, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly and tell his disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you." Matthew 28: 5-7

Happy Easter!

Peeps + The Office = Killer Combination

Anyone who knows me at all knows that I love candy with a burning intensity that defies all worldy logic and understanding. And, to me, there is just no candy more exciting and fun and unique than Easter candy. My favorite Easter confection of all is the Peep. I cannot express the sheer ecstacy and exhilaration I experience deep down inside when I bite into that fluffy, sugary, little marshmallow creature with the tiny fake chocolate dot eyes. I love the way the sugar coating crunches against my teeth when I bite into one, I love the way it tastes so marshmallow-y and refined sugary and I love the way I feel after eating a Peep....all charged up and full of life, like I could run the New York City Marathon. I love seeing the huge displays of Peeps in stores, as well. I get so blissful to see row after row and shelf after shelf of nothing but Peeps...adorable chicks and bunnies in a cheerful rainbow of colors all living side-by-side in perfect harmony. Oh my gosh, how I love Peeps.

Anyone who knows me at all, also knows that I maintain a similar, unyielding obsession with The Office. That show just makes me super happy to be alive. I am so thankful that something as simple as a 30-minute TV program can put me in a good mood for an entire evening and erase all the problems of the day by making me laugh until my stomach hurts.

Soooooo, you wonder what the point of this post is. Well, I will tell you now. Did you know that there exists a situation in which these two seemingly unrelated, yet equally awesome phenomena, coexist? Yes, it is true. A heartfelt thanks goes out to my coworker (and fellow Office junkie) Dan for opening my eyes to this situation.

Click on the link below to be transported to a magical realm where people have recreated scenes from the show using Peeps. I can't believe that somewhere out there, there are people just like me...loving Peeps, loving The Office and actually making strides to bring them together. This is so wonderful to know.
