Work party

Brian's work had a Christmas party on Saturday. It was pretty neat-o. We went to Hale Center Theater to eat. Famous Daves catered. (I couldn't eat the meat, so I piled on the potato salad.) Brians boss, Arden, is very generous. He gave all his employees $100 to spend on their wives. How cool is that? So Brian got me a gift certificate to the mall since I couldn't think of anything I wanted. Then there is a gift game where Arden puts all these presents in the middle of the room and everyone takes turns picking one and unwrapping it. If they don't pick from the middle, they can steal what someone else picked, but it can only be stolen three times. So we got a super soft blanket and a set of tools with a tape measure. THEN he puts out a whole bunch of gift certificates to different places- restaurants, clothing stores, hardware stores, etc- and the same game is played. Brian got a card to Lowes and I got one for Cinimark movies. Is that spelled right? After we ate and did the presents and the white elephant game, we went across the street to watch Tran-Siberian Orchestra. It was quite the show! pretty neat-o. The lights from the light show hurt my eyes and my stomach hurt the whole time, but it was certainly entertaining. :) How cool is it that we got all this stuff for free?! its frickin awesome, thats what it is. How did I get so lucky?
