And the winner is..... ME!!!

Last night was my company Christmas Party. And it was fantastic, primarily because I WON!!! I finally won the eagle award! FINALLY! some of you may remember me ranting about this last year... and how i deserved it... well i won!!

I'm sure the majority of people reading this are now thinking - - what the hell is the eagle award! well this award is given to an employee (or spouse) each year for outstanding achievements...such as organization, putting up with your spouse working long hours or constantly being overseas, organizing great events...etc. I won it b/c I'm the 'glue'. yes, that is what was said, i hold the company together. I am always smiling, I take on all the jobs asked of me, regardless of how trivial they are (little do they know that while I'm smiling I'm inwardly grumbling and thinking - - i will def blog about this tomorrow!).

The eagle award was originally a big plastic eagle, but there is usually a lot of wine at our parties and back in 1988 the eagle was dropped, so the head was salvaged, and a new body was created out of wood. Recently the birds beak has gotten chipped - I plan to fix this with a little arts and crafts day.

Jimiriquois is currently hanging in the hallway at home... yes, i named the eagle... he has the initials J something something on it... and i thought (7 glasses of wine later, that jimiriquois just sounded PERFECT for an eagles name). Just wait... I plan to elf the Jimmy later today.

Now for my acceptance speech! 4 glasses of wine later, i sound sooo professional, as i talk about ridiculous things! but apparently i was funny... drunk - funny - - - funny - drunk.... yeah, prity much the same thing. oh well. I WON!!! that's all that matters... its not about "trying" - - its about WINNING!!!!

I've Got a Pearl Necklace!

GET YOUR MIND OUTTA THE GUTTER!!!

that is NOT what i was talking about!!! :) lol... now for those of you who are now wondering... what? how could a pretty necklace made of pearls be taken as gross and dirty... well, if you are not on a public computer go check the following link - http://www.londonslang.comcom for another meaning of pearl necklace.

So back to my new pearl necklace :) tonight I went to sassy bead for a pearl knotting class. Sounnds easy... but not so. I now have the hang of it though and finished my necklace tonight once I got home while I watched Laguna Beaches Season Finale (love my smutty TV!)

Mine is a lot prettier than this one, but gives you an idea of what I did. Mine is pale purple (and the silk thread matches! OF COURSE). Anyways, the reason pearls get knotted is so that when the necklace breaks the pearls don't go flying all over the place - like you see in the movies... SO NOT REAL!
