The Christmas Season

My work party had probably the best food I've ever had in my life. Anyone who wants to throw down a couple hundred should DEFINITELY go to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. SO delicious. I thank you Nick for being my date. My work people thank you because you gave them another thing to tease/give me crap about....as if they really needed more. =)

I went to Erica's work party with a bunch of crazyass lawyer people. Granted, my work people are crazy but they're pretty fun. Erica's work people are crazy, i have all the power people. Whoa. We had a good laugh and I had a good time.....especially cuz I got to eat and drink whatever I wanted.

On another note, I've decided I like wine. I never used to but it was one of those things where I said I liked it and now I do. I did the same thing with beer. Hmmm....alcoholic much?

Well after Erica's party I went to cass st with Brad, Nick, Ryan, and Ryan's brother Evan. That was the first time I ever met Evan after hearing the glorious stories of Cabo. I didn't think I was drunk until I was talking in the streets of PB and it actually turned out I was yelling. and then i got out of my car on the way to my apartment and stumbled into the street. yum, i love alcohol! haha. anyway, good times that night. ;)

the next day i picked up marcus in LA and went to a party in hollywood with my friends from TO....whom btw you know i love. andrew basically drank a fourth of a handle by himself...and managed not to vomit. i was impressed. OMG...the best part of that entire night occurred at 2:30am. People were hungry and Mike suggested that we go to this "Chicken and Waffle" place. At the time, that sounded absolutely disgusting and I couldn't understand why anyone would want to eat that crap in the first place. BUT OH MY GOD IT WAS AMAZING. fried chicken dipped in gravy and waffles with syrup. marcus and i couldn't shut up about how effing good it was. Mike, you are my hero.

the next morning i drove back to TO rather early because it was christmas eve and i wasn't finished shopping. one thing i truly hate about myself is that i procrastinate....a lot. but anyway, listen to how good of a daughter i am. and by good i mean absolutely horrible. guess what i gave my father for christmas? a toilet seat. yeah that's right. i am a horrible daughter. SO, to redeem myself i also bought him alien vs predator being he owns all the alien movies, i thought it a good pick. but honestly, what kind of daughter am i? AND i totally bought a gift for myself on christmas eve. so excited about this one...i bought the first season of I Love Lucy on dvd. omg, so good right now. she's so silly.

christmas was a little different this year, but for the most part everything turned out alright in the end. my family ended up singing christmas carols for the first time in over ten years. my mom grabbed her guitar and we all pitched in. (random sidenote: my mama was a music major in college. very talented that one.) it was so funny though...we were all trying to remember the words to some of them and it didn't work. we were improvisors. yeaah.

one last thing, just be thankful for the friends and family you still have around. you don't know how long they're going to be there. =\ (thanks for your message punk.)

Happy Holidays all.

Work Gift Exchange

Um, inappropriate but we just had our gift exchange and I ended up with a massager. Not that that is dirty, but my supervisor came up to me and we started cracking jokes, him saying that I'll be in late tomorrow and whatnot. So funny. And get this...the company that makes my the massager is called Homedics. And my supervisor said it out loud "ha-meh-dics" And I took one look at it and I saw "Home-dicks." Honestly, what is my problem?

I love my work....characters everywhere.

Oh the holidays

FRIDAY:
Had a war with Erica over this cute guy we met but we both got shot down when he preemptively decided that he won't like his friend's friends. unfortunate to say the least.

SATURDAY:
Lounged around the house and went for a run. Caused a car accident though. So shitty. Jenny and I were running down Midway around 6pm and there was this truck pulling out. He saw us running and decided to be nice and backed up to let us pass. However, there was another car behind him. I effing caused an accident. I felt really bad. Lounged around some more after that.

SUNDAY:
Started the day at 8am. Went to the Mission with jenny. spent the next 5 hours shopping for holiday decorations for our apartment. we attempted five, count it FIVE stores before we found a mistletoe. jesus, do people not kiss anymore? anyway, we decided to drink wine and decorate our apartment. i called my dad, when i was a little on the drunk side, because i couldnt get the lights to work. i am such a stupid drunken fool. played apples to apples and then had a mental breakdown.

I'm excited for this weekend. I get to go to LA and have dinner paid for and visit old TO friends. should be fun.

man i'm hungry.
