jianantonicI woke up this morning feeling kind of blah, another day, so what...but then I decided that I didn't want to feel that way all day, so I got proactive about having a good time. I reminded myself that today is our office holiday party - during work hours, so I get paid to sit around and schmooze with the big bosses at a fancy dinner. The best part is that I don't have to work during that time. I really don't care so much about the luncheon. But I hear there are door prizes. Could be cool...
I also decided I was up early enough to make myself look fabulous, so I put on my blue velvet thrift store dress with sparkly tights and boots. I did my hair all cutesy and I must say, I do look pretty fantastic:) Already, the day is looking way up:)
Tomorrow we do our gift exchange at work. I was really proud of the gifts I got for everyone - for once I feel like I got some gifts that people will actually enjoy - and I'm really looking forward to seeing what they picked out for me. We made wish lists, so if they all stuck to them, I can look forward to clothes patterns (Jer and I are both on a mission to learn to sew), fun yarn (I am also going to step up my knitting and crocheting this year), beads, and a yoga DVD. I'm really looking forward to this. I do have one mini-rant, though. You can see from the items I listed that I am pretty easy to please. None of these things should be more than a few dollars. However, my coworkers all put down things that are $20 and more. They listed movies, CDs, clothes, jewelry...I mean, hello! You know how much (little) I make! Growl. There are seven of us doing this gift exchange - I was thinking I'd spend maybe $30 on the office people...well, I spent a bit more than that, but I think it worked out okay, and I'm pleased with my selections so I'm not going to bitch about it anymore. I just wanted to take a ride around the room on the high horse.
Okay, I do have one more rant. But this isn't a holier than thou thing. I got an email from amazon.com saying "Dec 19th is the last day to place orders for Christmas delivery with regular shipping!" That reminded me that I wanted to order something (for myself, not a gift) from there, so I did. I checked regular shipping and all that, and I got the confirmation this morning saying they were going to ship it out on Dec 27th and I'd get it by the 29th. Now, it's not a Christmas gift so I don't really care, but, seriously. How rude! Dirty effing liars. If they weren't so damn cheap I'd boycott. ;)
Time for work. Peace.
