Midnight Breakfast!

4 December 2023: This is kind of a cheat since the picture was taken on December 3, but since Midnight Breakfast kept me out until early this morning, I am counting the event as the thing I want to post about today. I had a fantastic time working the hot cocoa station with Hannah. I was joking that I was a "cocoa concierge," and basically spent my time encouraging students and hyping their cocoa creations. Also always a good time when I get to hang out with the amazing Coach Ford. 

Mel (always "Coach Ford" to me), me, and Hannah. I don't like most pictures of myself, but darn it if don't always love my "Midnight Breakfast" smiles.

I will say that I was wiped out most of today but strangely resilient. I think that's what Midnight Breakfast does to you. You pay a price the next day (especially when you don't sleep well and have to be back on campus super-early), but it's so freaking worth it. 

Busy Sunday...

Sunday featured breakfast with Kathy before she left town, a Shepherd softball game, a WISH reception, a much-delayed birthday dinner with Anna, and Midnight Breakfast. Whew! Anyway, a couple of pictures...

Doughnut dipping, Part II

4 December 2016: Sunday night brought yet another Midnight Breakfast at Shepherd, the event that kicks off exam week every semester. I was eager to be back at the same station as last semester, dipping doughnuts. And that's where I was, working the fixin' bar. It was, once again, so much fun.

Emily, Amy, and I before the students arrived--ready to go!

Doughnut dipping!

24 March 2016: Midnight Breakfast was last night. I love going and always have fun.  This year, there was a new location and some new menu items advertised. I wasn't sure how I'd like the changes...I don't always handle change well.

So this was amazing: I got to work the doughnut dipping station (a new thing this year). It was as much fun as it sounds. Students pick a doughnut. We dip it in hot icing (white or chocolate) for them. Then we dip it in toppings. I was like a doughnut artist. (It was also very sticky and messy, but so much fun!)
