Holiday Party Recap

Believe it or not, the Husband and I had a fabulous time at his company CHRISTMAS party. I mean, such a good time that I was still feeling a little like I'd had too much of a good time on Sunday. TWO days later. That could also be because I'm old, but we'll go with it.

So, you read it here first: Company Christmas parties can actually be fun! And the food was awesome, plentiful and fully cooked. And, to top it all off, they had a karaoke machine. Nothing screams "I'm an inebriated idiot" like a karaoke machine at a company party. And no, I did not partake. And neither did the Husband. But, if you know him, you already knew that. For the record, we did dance like fools to "Footloose," but really, how can you judge us for that?

Aside from spinning "Footloose" the DJ pretty much sucked. I felt like I was trapped in an early 90s, Top 40 hip-hop bar, as the worst music from that era ("Tootsie Roll," "Rumpshaker" and "Baby Got Back") seemed to dominate the evening. And no Michael Jackson! Really? Yes. Oh, but wait, we did hear a woman decimate "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" on the karaoke machine. Hilarious.

The desserts were perhaps the best part of the evening, and I'm really not a huge dessert eater. But, chocolate covered cheesecake on a stick must be sampled, yes? And fortune cookies dipped in fudge are a definite must, too. Even my fortune was awesome, too bad I can't remember it!

I'll end with two of my favorite words: Free beer. And not just crappy keg beer, but fancy, expensive bottled beer. God Bless the Husband's company!

Cheers!
