My weekend was very busy as I'm sure a lot of your's were too. That's just the time of year that it is...busy. I went to see the SpongeBob movie on Saturday. It was pretty good! I was impressed. I wasn't laughing by butt off, but it did make me giggle a bit. And I've been singing one of the songs non-stop since Saturday.
The work Christmas party on Saturday was pretty good. I got a ride by a girl at work and since it was snowing, I waited at the bottom of my driveway so she wouldn't have to try to come up my driveway (an almost impossible task without 4-wheel drive). Anyways, while I was waiting at the street, I was holding my tray of food for the potluck and my bottle of booze and about 3 or 4 people hinked at me on their way by! I'm not sure if it was because they knew me, thought I was stupid for standing by the road because I could have gotten hit by sliding cars, wanted my food and/or booze, or if they thought I was hot. I'll go with the last one :)
At the party, I did drink quite a bit, but all turned out well. First I drank a bottle of wine, but I wasn't feeling a thing. Then somebody broke out the shots and it just went downhill from there. A bunch of people left the party and that's when it started to get really fun. Just the serious party animals left. Lots of funny stories and LOTS of drinking. My boss was completely hammered and totally doing funny things, so I figured it wouldn't be a big deal if I kept drinking since he was more drunk than I was. And I made sure it stayed that way. As long as I was less drunk than him, I figured all would be okay. At about midnight, someone suggested going into town and heading up a local bar (we were about a half hour outside of town). That suited me just fine since my ride home had already left the party and the bar we were going to was just a few blocks from my house. So, I decided to go along too. It was my boss (I'll call him T), his "friend" (they are apparently not dating, but still hang out and whatnot, I'm thinking she's a friend with benefits type of deal), and another guy at work (I'll call him J) and his girlfriend. At first I thought it might be awkward with 2 pairs and me, but it was a lot of fun. As soon as we got there, T asked me what I wanted to drink and I said he didn't have to buy me anything. He insisted so I ordered a drink and between him and J that I work with, they kept the drinks coming! I think I had 5 drinks in about an hour and a half! That's on top of the bottle of wine and shots and 2 other drinks I had at the party earlier. So, I was drunk. But, the good news is I didn't make a fool of myself (not any more than anyone else anyways). I did say some funny and crazy things, but so did everyone else, so it's all good.
J was trying to set me up with every guy in the bar. There was slim pickings! He said that he could be my wingman. I said I didn't need a wingman, I do just fine with the men by myself! We did some dancing and just had an awesome time. T's "friend", who was a DD, offered to drive me home so I wouldn't have to walk. We were behind a cop car and I said "woohoo! Guys in uniform! Got your handcuffs, Mr. Policeman?" T thought that was pretty funny. I have a feeling he doesn't think I'm the "shy girl" anymore. That's okay. So, in conclusion, to "sum up", I did get drunk, but I did not make a fool of myself. I always kept in the back of my mind that I would be seeing these people again and I didn't want work to be awkward. So, at least I kept my judgement.
Yesterday, I went to Costco and I am almost finished my Christmas shopping! Yay! I just have a few more little things to get and I'll be all done.
