Eggs and Injuries

Sometimes I forget that not everyone grew up being so surrounded by boys that they had to fight tooth and nail to get in on any action and consequently harbor a deep seeded competitive spirit...

If you know me, you know that regardless of the game, I am very competitive and really don't much like to much. I guess I'm a Higerd in that way. Well today, a friendly office Easter egg hunt turned into a fierce fight for dominance, spearheaded by yours truly.

At the emailed command of GO, I was off running, heels and all, grabbing every egg I saw. When Jillian and I spotted the same small green egg under a chair in the conference room, the whole game changed. We both charged ahead but there was something in the way...the big glass conference room door. Now, when you have such advance maneuvering skills as I, such silly obstacles are meaningless, but poor Jillian was not as quick and ran right into it!! I had to refrain from laughing too much when we realized that she had actually hurt her hand pretty good. She was still a good sport and even finished just behind me in second place with 12 eggs. I won with 13. I had to gently inform her that you simply don't mess with Hannah and her win. That is, if you want to walk away physically or emotionally unscathed. After all...all's fair in love and war!

There was an additional prize for me, the Victor. An iTunes gift card and permission to leave early for the weekend!! Too bad I was on deadline and still had several projects to tie up, but I was able to leave about an hour early and had some time to go to the Grove for some much needed retail therapy.

Gotta say, if I couldn't be home to help dye eggs and have hunts with my nieces and nephew, this was certainly the next best thing!!

Happy Easter Everyone!!!
