I'm constantly replacing the one in our kitchen (or just using paper towels instead). Is the economy so bad we can't afford kitchen supplies anymore? or are people just that gross. Scared to know which one is true. I highly encourage your own set of utensils for the office. Plus a small personal cutting board and knife. :-) I agree with you on the personal sponge!

Some plates can be on the expensive side, but I figure, if you're going to save money by eating in for lunch, you may as well treat yourself to a plate that you really love using. If you're not too germiphobic, I also like getting vintage plates from garage sales, etc. There are usually some really neat things out there. The only ones I worry about are the ones that are super old or have metallic finishes, as I'm sometimes not certain if they're food safe. But you can find some really unique pieces at extremely affordable prices. HTH :) Hey Liz, I like Crate and Barrel, Pier 1, and IKEA.

It is definitely difficult to balance the two. I haven't been talking much about work till recently, but I figured that talking more about it may inspire other office peeps who are like me. I hope. :) Why thanks Beth! It is definitely difficult to balance the two.

Such a great texture and salty flavor. And I'm totally with you on the sponge- when I lived with 7 girls last year our sponges were infested with gross stuff.
