Holiday Parties and Crazy Editors

On Thursday we had our office holiday party. Since the party didn't start until 5:30, a few of my co-workers and I decided to leave the office early at 4:30 to have a few drinks beforehand. We stopped at a little Italian restaurant and shared a bottle of wine and some appetizers. We then went to the party at Chautauqua Dining Hall. The first hour of the party was a mix and mingle cocktail hour which was nice. It is nice seeing people out of the office and it is nice meeting spouses and significant others. We then sat down to have a wonderful dinner. People started to leave the holiday part around 9:00, but my friends and I weren't quite ready to go home. So we decided to go to the Catacombs, a little bar in downtown Boulder. We had a great time talking and having fun, and before we knew it, it was 1:00 a.m. Since the party was on a Thursday and since we were out so late, it was a little difficult to wake up for work the next morning. Most of the girls had hangovers the next day. Fortunately I managed to avoid any hangovers, but I was a little on the tired side. Everyone in our office is cool, but I'm especially thankful that the other editors like to hang out and don't mind staying out late. In spite of how hard we work, at least we still make time to have fun!

Current mood: looking forward to a lunch party tomorrow
Current music: Random tunes. Currently Kelly Clarkson "Sober"
Current drink: Ravenswood 2005 Lodi Zinfandel
