Guess what I found

on my doorstep this afternoon?



A mystery ham.
Addressed to Jeff.

Had we won the pork lottery?
Turns out that it was a Christmas gift from the company he worked for this fall. Although it was very hard to tell, because their personal message was written in tiny letters on the shipping label.
In other Christmas news, I went to my party at work today. This year, our gift was a fleece vest. We also had a catered dinner. Amazing. The highlight was watching a slide show featuring many of my coworkers. Unfortunately, not a single RT made it on the slide show. Ouch.
Tonight is my department X-mas party at Crostini Grille. I finally bought my gifts today. My coworker requested light beer. That's all she wanted. So, I bought a sampler pack, not sure how much of it is light, but I figured she could drink her beer of choice until she is mildly intoxicated, then start in on the heavier stuff. Right?

Bite me Christmas

I am seriously lacking in the Christmas spirit this year. In fact, I'm getting crabbier every day. Ugh. So far, I have 4 presents for Ross-mostly from Amazon.com. That's all. So, if you're on my list this year, you will soon be out of luck. I'm even nearing the online shopping deadline.
Also, we have what we thought was the most beautiful tree in the world. Unfortunately, it doesn't have any ornaments on it, because even looking at it wrong makes all of its needles fall off. Nice. Why did we even bother, it's not like we are going to be home anyway.
I have my work X-mas dinner Thursday night, I am looking forward to it, but we could only order a limited menu, and my personal favorite dish is not on the list. Grrr again-not to mention I have to skip the bellinis I enjoyed last year. I also have to buy 2 gifts for the party before then.
One more thing. No baking done here. Not that I'm a huge baker, but there are some things I usually like to make. Nope, nothing this year, although I got roped into making some peanut butter chocolate swirl things for my poor starving sister.
Bah Humbug!

Just for you Amber

Since I've been spending so much time on my couch, I've had the chance to watch a lot of TV, and surf a lot of the internet. There is probably no corner of the internet that I haven't explored in the last two weeks or so. Unfortunately, I missed this on the Rachel Ray show, but I did find it in the dark depths of livejournal. So, Amber, this is for you!
