we had the ever-so-fun fire drill at work today. unfortunately we all knew it was coming in the near future, so it wasn't a total surprise or anything. that would have added to the excitement level. but I guess anytime a loud bell goes off in your office excitement is bound to ensue.
well, I'm only mentioning this fact about my day because I noticed a funny thing about myself. (and this funny thing will be a total no-brainer to anyone who knows me) if I was faced with a dire, you-could-die-if-you-don't-get-out-of-the-building-fast situation my main concern would be:
I don't know how long I'll have to stand out there... do I have snacks? I need snacks!
and then I would take some precious escape time and rummage through the mini fridge in the office for some baby bell cheese and carrot sticks. yeah, I've got my priorities straight. (but in my defense, I knew there wasn't an actual fire in the building... who knows how I would have really reacted if there was. I'm sure I would still grab the snacks.)

In Between the Lines
I'm standing on the edge of two eternities: the past and the future, which is precisely the present moment.

you and i view things VERY similarly lately. :) i, too, would be rummaging for snacks prior to exiting the building. honestly, when i flew back to washington last month, i kept thinking to myself, "if we crash...i have no food or water with me- and that will drive me bananas." seriously- irrational...but for the pregnant woman...completely logical. :)
Love it! "Will eat for food," right? :-D
That is awesome!
okay, not if the building were really on fire, but that is coming from a fire fighter's perspective! Hope the drill went well and you weren't out there too long!
"i'm so full i can't eat anything else.... are you gonna finish that?!" love ya sis!!
my first thought would be: "how long am i going to have to stay outside...is it cold? will i need my jacket?" i'm all about have a comfortable temperture.
food and good temps would be my concern. funny.
As a passing stranger, I thought I'd let you know I've enjoyed my time reading your blog. Keep up the good work.
You certainly wouldn't want to watch a building burn down on an empty stomach... that would be the real tragedy.
