Work Party

The work party was pretty good last night, very crowded with 850 people attending, though.  I got to have a couple of tasty chicken skewers from the hors d'ourves plates that were being carried around prior to dinner (could have have any of the shrimp and sushi ones, of course, and the one quiche I had was just a quiche).  As usual fairly long line ups for the bar, but we each got a drink before dinner, then sat through the presentation and videos .... the one that won Campbell River 2nd place in a recent competition for "Call Me Maybe" was pretty good.

Dinner was tasty as usual.  This year I was actually pretty restrained and just got a bun, salad, mashed potatoes, turkey and stuffing, and roast beef, with gravy.  When finished I did check out the dessert room with Maxx, then went back and got some more potatoes, turkey, stuffing, beef, and gravy, had him carry my one dessert (spice cake) back to the table for me.

Tasty tasty tasty ... but even with being restrained ended up being totally stuffed.

This year we didn't get our photo taken as the line up was just too long.  Too bad, we both looked really nice, too ... and it's impossible to take nice pictures of ourselves at home as the house is such a jumble at all times it doesn't provide any sort of nice back-ground.  Plus, with just the two of us we can't be in a photo together!

Anyhow, today is my second of three days off this weekend.  Slept in late, Maxx is now in bed, will be feeding the dogs in a minute, then seeing what I can occupy my time with for the rest of my lazy, restful, relaxing day.
