How many years have we been doing this now? I think this was at least the sixth year, and it might’ve been the seventh. We use Elfster to draw names for the gift exchange and then this year, Google Docs and Sara – and her potentially unhealthy affinity for spreadsheets – helped us figure out where to go for dinner (Firebird’s).
Yep, it would appear we should’ve toasted technology at dinner. “And I’d like to thank the interweb, without which we wouldn’t be here tonight.”
We had an awesome waiter. His name was Tom and he took great care of us, beginning with showing up with a stack of napkins to mop up the spilled water on the table. See, what had happened was… The menus were really big and our table was crowded so I pushed the menu out of the way and straight into a full glass of ice water. Oops. Luckily no one was sitting at those seats yet. No, really, it was lucky because the table was far from level and the water made a beeline for the empty chairs.
Guess what Tom brought me after that? A to-go cup of water with a lid. Point to Tom.
Of course we girls had a wonderful time. There were nine of us this year. From my left around to my right: Vickie, Kim, Chelle, Heather, Anna, Leigh, Sara, and Vanessa.
Can’t wait to do it all over again next year! Well, minus the spill…
