Holiday Fun

Well, first, I need to apologize to those of you who continually check my blog only to be disappointed. I'm a lame excuse for a wannabe writer. I don't post much, but I do read everyone's so keep writing!=)

Second - still no wedding photos. I should have mentioned long before this that my pictures won't be ready to view until after Christmas. I won't even get to see them until the 15th or 16th of December. It takes THAT long to retouch photos, I guess. So, still not pictures for you. Soon. I promise.

Third, I don't know about the rest of you, but my holiday season is starting out with a bang. My office christmas party was Friday night. More fun than usual this year. It's usually just those of us in the office sitting at a dinner table staring at each other and trying to come up with some good conversation - or any for that matter. This year, my boss held the party at his house and we invited a bunch of our clients and close friends. There were probably 60 people in attendance. MUCH more fun since we all couldn't just stand around staring at each other. Plus, my bosses are wine connoisseurs, so the wine was good and plentiful. Drank an appropriate amount for an office party and left about 9:30. Brad and I stopped by Blockbuster on the way home and rented Breakfast at Tiffany's (the Audrey Hepburn version). I'd never seen it before, so I stayed up to watch it all. Went to bed about 1 am.

Saturday night, I hosted a little Christmas martini party for me and some of my girl friends. We kicked the guys out (at least until about midnight and then we let them in) and had a blast eating, drinking, and talking. It was great fun. And, for the record, I had 5 - Yes, 5 - pure-alcohol martini's Saturday night. That IS a record for me. I usually fall asleep after 1. I had a blast! Stayed up until 2 am.

Sunday. 9:00 am. Brave (or stupid, depending on how you look at it) husband of mine wakes me up to go to North Carolina to get a Christmas tree. Headache - Oh, yes. Crawled out of bed to shower. Wear sunglasses most of the day (even though it's cloudy). Walk all over tree farm and finally cut and haul tree to car. Finally eat about 3:00 pm. Drive home. Bring in tree and decorate. Fun, but too tired to get too excited about it. Sit down at 9:00 to watch movie. Practically pass out at 11:30pm.

Today, I'm feeling remarkably awake and good for such a busy weekend. Just wish I didn't have to return to work. Ugh.
