All Things Woompty

When I grow up, I wanna be an old woman

How many days behind am I on Holidailies? SO MANY. So many that I could very well give up but I am refusing! I will persevere! Or something.

I spent my entire weekend baking and not really eating. Seriously, yesterday I had coffee and three Candy Cane Joe-Joe's for breakfast, some cheese and crackers (and bits of cookie dough) for lunch, and then I went to my company holiday party and downed a couple martinis. Thank goodness for the awesome appetizers I picked out is all I have to say about that. Otherwise, I would have ended up drunk and embarrassing before the first course.

Speaking of drunk and embarrassing, there's these two coworkers of mine that I call The Kids. I call them The Kids because they are 10 years younger than me and their lives are still about roommates and parties and dating a lot of people at once and finding free food and free drinks because they are broke. So imagine how excited they were when they found out that I convinced the CEO that we should have a martini bar during the cocktail hour last night, in addition to the beer and wine that we were serving. Now imagine them asking me if they could leave their cars at the resort the party was happening at.

"First off, a cab ride from there will probably cost you close to $100 considering where you live," I told them. "And second of all, it's a company Christmas party. You should not get drunk enough at this party to need a cab, free martinis or not."

And then I shook my cane at them and told them to get off my lawn.

Seriously, when did I turn into the resident old lady wisewoman giving advice to the young 'uns? I suppose it was right after I gave in and started watching NCIS reruns on the weekends. Meh.
