Good morning! Before I get started on my day I thought I’d recap what I did this weekend so far.
The Holiday Party for work was Friday night. I haven’t been in a couple of years but some friends were going so I went. It is a pretty long drive up to where it is held in Scottsdale so many get a room at the resort. Devon and I did that and she drove us up there. I took the day off work so I could attend to the animals and pop over to get my hair cut. Had a new person do my hair and she did a great job with the cut and color. Yay! Has anyone else out there been having trouble with their debit or credit cards lately? I had a problem at two places with my PayPal card the other night and Devon had the same thing with her debit card at the mall and then again on Friday at the nail place we popped in to for manicures before the party. Weird huh.
Anyways, the party of good. In my normal style I was really self conscious the whole night. I really need to turn that energy into motivation to just get off my ass and do things that will improve how I perceive myself rather than on a flippin pity party.
The entertainment before dinner was really really bizarre. The theme was a night at the movies (red carpet, award winning movie posters everywhere) and they had a Dolly Parton impersonator to start with. She was fricking good! We had the hardest time trying to figure out if it was really her or not. The mannerisms were down pat, but why would the real Dolly Parton be at our Holiday Party? Then there was a fake Bette Midler. Yeah, that one was easy. The quest became to try and figure out if it was a man or woman! The last act (save for a Canadian Magician who was really creepy) was fake Temptations. They were pretty good. The food was good and the desserts were buffet style with lots of little pies and creme brules such. The after party had a casino area, pool, some shooting range game whose loud cracks and pops kept making us jump, and one of those basketball games. On the wall behind this stuff they were playing movies like Hoosiers (basketball), Casino (the casino stuff of course), and….I didn’t pay attention to the other two. The other side of the room had dancing, which I watched but so did not participate in. 
I got a ride home with Candace and Matt Saturday morning and happily Candace is getting interesting in doll clothes and Blythe again so we made a stop at JoAnn’s. Okay, most of you I imagine have seen the pictures of my craft room and closet full of perfectly good fabric. Um yeah well…between the two of us we filled a cart with bolts of fabric. I stand by my rationalization that most of the fabric I bought was for dolly bags so it is an ‘investment’. I’m sticking to that reason. Yep…sure am. And the debit card thing…it had to be ran twice and the girl says they all had to be that day. Something weird is going on with the system me thinks.
The rest of the day was pretty normal, I’m still catching up on Dr. Who and doing crafty stuff. Some house cleaning is slowly getting done as well. I’ve been working on sifting through boxes and bag of junk and tossing out things I don’t need. That will be a pretty long project, but the hope is getting rid of some clutter will unclutter my mind.
Candace popped by last night and we sewed some dolly pajamas. And that is when I discovered that I had over a dozen sets of doll pajamas in a half finished state from last year!!! Holiday pajama sets that I totally forgot about. Why didn’t I realize this say a month ago when they would be in time for Christmas?
It hurts.
