My company Christmas party on Friday was an absolute blast. I had a great time. Yes, I got a LITTLE drunk (emphasis on the little), but so was everyone else, so it was all good. I even made myself $20 by drinking a half glass of wine with a bit of salt and pepper in it. It was a dare and was an easy $20. Jim did the same thing and he got $20 too and the deal was that if we could do it, we had to buy shots at the next place for the person of our choice, and they had to drink it. Jim had to go home, so he gave me his $20 with instructions on who I was to buy shots for. Well, when we got to the next place, our boss started a tab and told everyone to put their drinks on the tab. So, I didn’t even need to use the $40! So, I got everyone a round of Jager and we all did those close to the end of the night. And I made sure to get a couple extra for the guy Jim wanted to target. So, it was a fun night for all. Best part was, we were out from 6:30pm until 2:30pm drinking and we didn’t have to spend a dime! Thanks to my company! Oh, and I even broke out some of our classic dance moves (lawn mower, sprinkler, shopping cart, microwave, and the ever popular ski jump and bobsled). They were a hit for sure! Heehee. It was a great night. So great in fact, that I pretty much slept most of Saturday.
So, I saved my $40 and used that the next night at CT’s company Christmas party. I wasn’t up to drinking considering I drank too much the night before, so the $40 covered our cab fare to and from, and 2 rounds of drinks for the 2 of us (my drinks were diet coke). There were prizes at this Christmas party and we cleaned up! CT won a digital tire pressure gauge, a cordless screwdriver thing, and one of those digital photo frames. All of it together was probably worth $150! Score! And I have been wanting one of those photo frames ever since I saw the one at lj’s dad’s house last month.
Due to the crazy snowstorm on Sunday (where police were telling people to stay off the roads), CT didn’t go snowboarding and I didn’t get my Christmas shopping finished. I only have CT’s present to get yet, and I guess I’ll have to get that sometime this week since Christmas is only a week away now! I did start on the mini-scrapbooks. I have all the photos chosen for them, so that is half the battle! I think it will only take me a couple of hours to get them finished since they are only a few pages long. So, I can save that for the weekend.
Only 5 days of work left this year! Yay!

Yeah, the snowstorm put a damper on my weekend too. My brother didn't come home because of it, but luckily, he's coming home on Wednesday night now! I'm so excited to see that kid. :D
Glad you had so much fun at your party! It sounds like a crazy but fun evening. And woo hoo for prizes!
You want to hear something funny? My mom and I were having a bit of a movie night on Saturday, we watched Children of Men (very good btw) and then *she* suggested that we watch 28 Weeks Later! HAHA! It was so bloody and violent... I think she was shocked. Frankly, it was more violent than even I expected! I just thought it was hilarious that she suggested we watch it.
Your mom is too funny. She might think twice about suggesting another violent movie in the future!
Sounds like you had a fantastic weekend. James and I are getting a really nice digital picture frame for Christmas from my parents. I'm very excited to see it, but won't get to until the 30th - that's when we're doing Christmas because my Dad will be home from Saudi.
