Rudolph was everywhere this weekend

Sweet! My buddy James got an interview at my work! I'm excited. Candice and James together again, just like the old days. There were walks, walks around the mall, Uno, nerf guns, potato heads, dryer balls, HMV and the list goes on. It'll be so awesome to have him here. I say he's a shoe in, but he doesn't want to jynx it.

Christmas mania was lots of fun on the weekend. Off to Regina I went on Friday for the iQMetrix Christmas Formal. It was at the renowned Assiniboia Club. It was pretty neat and the food was really good. They weren't really a party hard bunch, and as usual, programmers were hard to find. We're an elusive bunch, us programmers.

Saturday I raided my parent's basement for more decorations for my tree. It looks pretty good now! Also took off to Sasktoon for Christmas Formal #2, my work party. This was a pretty good party. The supper was really good, and the peanut butter cheesecake for dessert was delicious. I saw one of the bosses make a good fool out of himself, dancing with a Christmas tree, hiding in the Christmas trees, playing a tree like a guitar, making out with a tree, doing the chicken dance to AC/DC, knocking over wall decorations, etc. That was hilarious! We had our very own Team Red consisting of Shannon and Paul, Shannon made a nice sash for her dress that matched Paul's dress shirt perfectly. It was very chic! The door prizes were some of the most geeky prizes I've ever seen. Shannon won a socket set and some tools, Jenn won a flashlight and tire pressure gauge and Kevin won some sort of hardware electronics board and a surge protector. The dj for the dance wasn't the greatest, but Shannon and I still managed to tear up the dance floor. We also managed to accost Kevin as he was leaving and danced him into staying longer on the dance floor. We had a trade off of partners for a while where I danced with Paul, he likes his twirls, where Paul tried to make my date Phil jealous, by giving him the wink and the gun while dancing. I'm not too sure it worked, but twirling is fun. I then witnessed an attack on an ATM, sticking spoons on your face competitions and many a rambling conversation. Also had an encounter with Mrs.Claus. All in all fun was had.

Sunday was a very tough recovery day.

Yesterday I had my very first girls night in a Burger King. I enjoy BK, but no one ever wants to go there with me. So I'm happy that I have friends with kids that like the play area there. If there was a ball pit, I would of enjoyed the play area there as well. I went with Shannon and her friend Michelle. We had many a philosophical discussion, mostly about boys. Oh drama!

Tonight I'm going to stay home, do laundry, tidy up my place a bit. Find a place for all the decoration boxes. Tomorrow is girls night with Barbara and Toni. (What's with all the girls nights? Am I turning into a girl?) I get Max HD tomorrow too, that's exciting! Hooray for the Discovery Channel and TLC, how I miss you so! All the home renovations I can do now! And useless trivial pursuit knowledge! And the Dog Whisperer on National Geographic channel. Wow, I'm a geek.
