So....we've had Christmas music playing for months....and now...the rush is really on...and I have to wonder if stores are really brilliant in starting so early because by now most people are immune to the tunes playing over head and aren't as rushed as they would be if they started the day after Thanksgiving like a normal human would....Bug disagrees....he loves his Christmas music and plays it year 'round. However, I must confess that I changed my alarm clock to play Joy to the World when it goes off...I figure if I start my day on such a cheery note maybe the rest of the day will follow suit :-)
We had a pretty good weekend....crazy busy....
For those that don't know...I was promoted to lead secretary- announced Monday....so the week was full of meetings and training and it's been great thus far....then Friday night we had the Firm's Holiday Party....we got all dressed up...had a great meal and now I have a new dessert to figure out how to make in an easy fashion (which I lucked out....it was angel cake filled with bavarian cream, topped with confectioners sugar and served with white cream and strawberries...that one shouldn't be too hard at all....just a matter of getting the bavarian to the right consistencey) side note....when Bug likes something we eat out, it becomes my mission to attempt to make it at home since he's such a....hmm....ok i'll just say it...he's a picky eater....
Then we watched in amusement as some friends ressurected classic dance moves such as the lawnmower, shopping cart and sprinkler before hitting the dance floor ourselves...
we have a few pics from the party....I'll see if anyone caught some of us dancing.....it was a good night...but then we drove to Cuba after the party and got there around 1:00 a.m. and I'm thinking "I could sleep in my gown and not take my hair down...."
we had the fam christmas party the next day at 1:00 in the afternoon and I had to find the gifts, shop for the dish to pass, dessert and cookies and then come home and make them, get ready and get to mom's and look like I'd had more than two hours of sleep...it was an adventure...especially since Tendai (that's my car....it's Hebrew for "give thanks to God" since she was a freebie, I figured it was quite the appropriate name for her) but anyway....she decided to act up on the way there....sending my already exhausted mind into a tizzy....(btw, we think it might be a loose wire. Now I have to find someone to trace it out who accepts payment in peach pie and cookies....)
But alls well that ends well....the party was fun....we had opportunities to get "money" throughout the evening which was used for a gift auction...rather amusing I must say....
but anyway...that was our weekend...How was yours?
