FUN

Mick and I went to my school's faculty Christmas party tonight. FUN FUN FUN!! Sorry, no pictures, TOO busy eating, drinking and laughing! We always have this at The Shamrock. Always the person who is in charge of the party thinks of ways to humiliate us (in fun). We never know what she will do with the footage she shoots. She will ask us to participate in advance of the party...then we have to wait and wonder how goofy we will look. THIS year she wanted us to sing........of course, I chose a John Fogerty song...Who'll Stop the Rain. So, what did she do with this footage? She turned it into a "Shamrock Idol" show. We watched the "auditions" which was what she had filmed (needless to say I did not make the final cut...no one appreciates a good Creedence song!!) Six people were the choices for finalists...then of course, Randy, Ellen and Simon were there (and Ryan Seacrest). My principal was one of the (inebriated) joyful contestants! However, one of the other faculty members who did an AWESOME rendition of "Family Tradition" won and rightfully so!

After this she showed us a few emails she had saved over the past year....I made it to the stupid email list twice....deservedly, however!

Oh, and I won a door prize...a cd...Stevie Ray Vaughn...which I gave to Mick.

I had an awesome (have I used that word before??) dinner....Bourbon glazed salmon, real mashed potatoes and green beans and a really good salad. Mick had the prime rib...I tasted it and ...oh mama!! If it had not been so rare, he might have had to fight me for it!
We both had pound cake baked by one of the faculty...it was SOOOOOOO good!

I forgot to mention, we had decided we would have a glass of wine (rare for us)...Mick said, "You really don't want a glass of wine do you? Why don't you go ahead and have.......YES....He SAID it!!! He said TEQUILA!!!!! He really had to twist my arm and beg....and I relented and had some....that was some of the best tequila ever! ( I sure miss good tequila!!!). One could barely see traces of orange juice....mmmmmmmmmm.

Ok...well...we had a good time, needless to say. Now...back to reality tomorrow...
