Just got back from the company Xmas party.
Well - that was time well ... wasted.

Am I weird because a quiet night at home with the dogs/cats/other critters would have been more my speed?

Thankfully, our holiday parties are not anything like the stereotypical ones I keep hearing about. It wasn't horrible, just not ... my thing.

1. My dear Madrone...
You are most certainly not weird!

I'm glad it at least wasn't horrible...

Welcome home, sweetie...:hug:

2. Thanks :)
I work with some really great people, completely lacking in pretentiousness. Even the company owners are REGULAR PEOPLE - not at all haughty or showy.

I think I've just gotten OLD. And well before my time. ;)

I DID eat my ass off, though! They were nice enough to go out of their way to satisfy my pescatarian dietary preference. Everyone else had a choice of garlic chicken or prime rib - I got a cod in garlic sauce w/ capers and shrimp. As usual --- everyone preferred my option when they saw I had it. LOL

I don't think you'll ever be old, either...

Not with your attitudes!

Glad you had your dietary preferences honored!

And how cool that everyone else wanted it......You rock, girl!

:hug:

4. Your dinnah sounds GOOD!
So, am I considered an "other critter"? ;)
