Q: What do you get when you add 1 pot of spaghetti, 19 interns, and 64?
A: A party!
There's no better way to get a group of people together than to provide them with plenty of food. It's historically proven. Jesus broke bread with his disciples, the Native Americans and the Europeans had a harvest festival, it's how parents get the their children home from college on the weekends, and Paula Deen has made a living off it on Food Network. I think that's why when MacKenzie mentioned a spaghetti potluck at 64, mass chaos ensued around the sign up sheet. We made spaghetti and the other houses provided everything from spaghetti bread (garlic and herb bread made from scratch) to neapolitan sherbet. Victor even shared the cheese he brought with him from Spain. I'm still not sure how he managed to sneak through customs without it being confiscated. Since most of us get up at the crack of dawn to be at work on time, the party broke up early. I found myself laying in bed by 9:45 wondering if I'd ever get comfortable on the styrofoam block some people refer to as a mattress. A mixture of nerves and excitement about my first day of work kept my brain going a mile a minute until I remembered one of my favorite Bible verses:
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself." Matthew 6:34
Off to La-La Land I went!
