Starting Wonder Woman tonight. The acting is fine and the story is fairly interesting, but the look of it is so fake that it's going to be easy, I think, to turn it off in an hour or so.

I also think I'm coming down with something, so I'm drinking ginger tea.

In years past we all brought something. But this year the cafeteria downstairs was offering to cater breakfast, they set up chafing dishes with scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, home fries, french toast, hot map,e syrup, coffee, assorted pastries, coffee, OJ, cream cheese, butter It was $10 a person. When they deliveed it we discovered the boss had paid for it already

So that was nice

vixmom · « **Reply #186 on:** December 21, 2017, 08:13:55 PM »

I had also obtained permission for a dress down day (read jeans) and festive sweaters

vixmom · « **Reply #187 on:** December 21, 2017, 08:14:51 PM »

I brought in table cloths and a centerpiece and holiday paper plates and cups and christmas crackers for everyone

vixmom · « **Reply #188 on:** December 21, 2017, 08:18:47 PM »

I remembered about the crackers lasting night and stopped at party city to get them. They were selling packages if 8 of the cheap type (, not highly decorated, cheap plastic gifts) for $19.99 a box

I decided to go to BJs instead

vixmom · « **Reply #189 on:** December 21, 2017, 08:21:49 PM »

They had packages of 8 high quality crackers (beautifully decorated, good quality gifts such as metal yo yo, retractable tape measure, pens, bracelets, book marks) for $12.98 but they were reduced for clearance so they were only $5.98 a box!!!

vixmom · « **Reply #190 on:** December 21, 2017, 08:23:56 PM »

So after we ate we all pulled our crackers, put on our paper crowns and read out the terrible riddles

vixmom · « **Reply #191 on:** December 21, 2017, 08:25:47 PM »

When we came I we put the wrapped gifts on the table in the front conference room, the ad staged to that being peop,e coy,d drop them in without being seen so no one knows who brought in which gift

vixmom · « **Reply #192 on:** December 21, 2017, 08:27:22 PM »

The tags only have the recipient's name on it and we have to guess who bought our gift

Happy Yalda, y'all.

I got a $25 gift certificate to the Texas Roadhouse and a pair of comfy fuzzy socks infused with aloe (which I am wearing now, they are very comfy and soft)

That's very nice. Does he do other stuff for the holidays for everybody?

Page seven? Really? Now THIS is more like the holiday spirit.

vixmom · « **Reply #203 on:** December 21, 2017, 08:53:42 PM »

Not in recent years, he used to host a dinner out but we actually asked him to stop because it is just too hectic at work this time of year to plan a night out.

Vixmom, please remind your mother to breathe properly. I had to make an effort to do so when my ribs were bruised. To avoid pain my tendany was to take shallow breaths.
