But because you got the 000, I get to vent about my dumb office party that I will have to attend again next year. Why you ask?
Well, we had a gift excange- one of the goofy ones where you open gifts and steal and trade. Lots of fun, a few really nice gifts and a couple really crummy ones. I admit I regifted a nice holiday candle set, never been opened, and perfectly usable. And things were going great. I spent most of the game with a nice photo album/scrapbook in by lap when lo and behold, it gets stolen and I have to pick another gift.
Well, I pick a nice looking gift in a large, thin box - not too extravagent, not too plain- and opened it up. And guess what's inside? Why nothing but a baby blue plastic TOILET SEAT with a motivational message scribbled on the lid in black marker. I was so embarassed that I blushed. My co-workers couldn't decide what was funnier, the toilet seat or the embarassed new girl. *sigh*
So in the interest of making lemonade out of my lemon of a gift, I'm going to decopauge motivational messages and wacky pictures on the seat. It will then be wrapped up for next year, which means I have to go to the party again. Ack! The first one that came to mind was "if at first you don't suceed, try, try again." Got any other ideas?
