Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Tonight is my work christmas party.
I am wearing a stupid suit and heels.
BLEH.
Kristen is my date, and there's a Yankee gift exchange.
I purchased a seamonkey aquarium and a set of famous pirate playing cards with a "gold doubloon" that comes with a lead warning.
Waiting for Kristen to tell me which gift she wants to give.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
lisah, how about food delivery gift certificates?
I continue to be grateful that my work party is in the afternoon on Monday.

I want the seamonkey aquarium!! i was going to get one for my desk at work, but i keep forgetting. you pretty much have to buy them online these days. some cowrkers didn't even know what they were. tragic.

a girlfriend just gifted another new-baby couple with two merry-maids cleaning gift certificates. That was WAY appreciated.
this is a good idea. uh...if maybe a little expensive for just me to do.
Friends gave me a Merry Maids cleaning gift cert for my birthday...which I've yet to use because I keep thinking I should do it before having a big party and also that my house is too much of a mess right now for someone else to clean.

This is a good idea too. I just need to figure out places that will do this in Raleigh and out in Frederick.

PIRATES! AAAARGH!

They always used to be in the displays before the checkout at TG&Y. TG&Y doesn't exist anymore!
I sometimes complain about our at work parties, but I think I'd hate after work ones even more.

One of the engineers asked if I was bringing anyone special to the party.
I said, "Of course!"
He was all, "ooooooooh, interesting!"
Yep.
The tall beautiful redhead? She's with me.

not your mom's socks.

yeah. there with you. I took a look at that and at my bucket-o-Target gear and just kinda shrugged.
