On Friday was my company holiday party at the Pacific Club in Newport Beach. The attire was semi-formal, so I decided to wear the wine colored dress that I wore to Olivia's wedding. My sister wore the same thing she wore to the wedding too. The food was good. They served both Chicken and Steak with a mound of mashed potatoes separating the two. I'm tellin ya, I have eatten too much steak this past week. I think I am red-meat out.
They gave away a few door prizes (an iPod shuffle, an iPod Nano, and a Roomba), which I did not win. Then came time for the big prize, the Trip for Two to Hawaii. I didn't win that either. Nope it was supposedly a random drawing. My "date" Valarie won. I call her my "date" because I pretty much had to ask her to go with me so that I wouldn't be a third wheel with my sister and her boyfriend, or my bosses. She's only been to one other holiday party in the 8 years she has work at H&A and the one that I make her go to she wins! Everyone at the table was totally shocked. I even dropped my dessert fork loudly on my plate because I was sooo shocked. Yep she won and I can't believe it still. Hee hee..the catch is, though, she now HAS to attend next year's holiday party because the winner of the previous year has to draw the name of next winner. I'm going to make her choose my name!
I didn't even win the centerpiece. I always win the centerpiece! ARRRGHH! Ana won the centerpiece. Both Ana and Mike also were given special recognition awards...they both totally deserved them. YAY!
Oh yeah. So, since friday I have been looking for the shoes I wore to the party. I found the empty box and looked high and low for my patent leather mary janes. They were no where to be found until just this moment when I tried to push my chair under my desk. There they were wedged neatly under the inside of my desk. How did they get there??
