Memories Read how sweet Kat makes a company holiday party not so boring. The parties are over and we've all made it through another holiday season, but the memories we've made will be a part of us forever. Some may be sad, but it is my hope, that most are happy ones. One memory that will never escape me, is one that was made this past holiday season. Yes, yes, I was naughty. But my Santa likes me that way.
It was the middle of December and I was running amuck as usual. I knew that my husband's company Christmas party was coming up, and well, I really didn't want to go. I tried to come up with excuse after excuse, and hubby wouldn't budge. We were going. When I asked why we "had" to go, hubby informed me that the VP would be there, and it would be nice if we at least made an appearance, as hubby was receiving some award for being top sales dude.
OK, so I gave in...shoot me. But that also meant that I could go out and buy a new dress! And y'all know how I love to shop. Anywho, the evening of the party I donned my little, black, oh so there dress, and made up my mind to try to have a good time.
We arrived, and made our way through the crowd, saying our hello's to hubby's co-workers and finally making it to the bar. Kat wanted a drink...and she wanted it now! (cotton mouth you know) *giggle* So as I'm sipping my Cosmo, up comes the VP. I'm pleasantly stoned, and sipping my drink, while the VP is making small talk about how nice I look and how happy he is that my recovery from breast cancer is going so well...blahblahblah....yadda-yadda-yadda.... I'm basically bored to death at this point. The VP turns to Larry and begins talking to him about things going on at the home office out in Los Angeles. I yawn.
I need another Cosmo.
I take a little walk to the bar. A few minutes later, I come back, Cosmo in hand, and the VP says to me, "Kat darling, your hubby and I were just dicussing some things that are going on in Los Angeles, and I'd like to know if you would you like to come?" I about snorted Cosmo through my nose, but I maintained my casual attitude, and being so bored to begin with, and not being able to hold it in any longer, I winked and said, "Oh GOD yes, I'd LOVE to come, wouldn't you?"
I'd of given anything for a camera at that moment.
