happy Christmas story of the day!
we had our official work Christmas party today. they're always really lame, but whatever, it's free food and presents, so if i work that day i stick around. thank goodness i did today! (no, good-looking maintenance guy did not show up.)
in the past i've gotten Christmas salt-and-pepper shakers, a sound machine (that sounds like ocean waves and rainfalls and the rainforest and stuff), jam, a home depot gift card, and the like. others have gotten paper plates, holiday napkins, sorry, toasters, gingerbread house kits, and the like. but each year there are two big presents. and in 11 years, i've never gotten one of them. (ok, in all fairness i didn't go to the party for the first 6 years or so, but still. i never win anything.) we all put our names in a hat, and the first two names they call get the big ones. (the rest of us choose from a big pile of wrapped gifts.) and it's never me. i get jam.
until this year. they called one name, and it wasn't me. but then they called the second name. and ohmigoodness i almost fell over. 'melilot brandybuck!' really?! no way! and guess what. i got a wii!!! :D :D :D

"You may have beat me this time, but I'll get you next time Chelleybutton!" (trying to sound like the bad guy from Mr. Gadget.)
