pictures: christmas tree and company party

here's the picture stories of my two weekend adventures:
the christmas tree farm
here's where i pretend i'm cutting the tree down. in actuality, i tried to make some cuts, but i am horribly retarded with a saw. 
we are quite proud of our tree!
david carries the tree paul bunyon style! isn't he strong?
david's company christmas party
the event was held at the oh-so-fancy claremont hotel in berkeley. i'd driven past it quite a few times in my high school years, wondering what was in there. it looks like a palace! so it was exciting to be actually be allowed in!
though slightly blurry, here we are. my dress is floor length and quite velvety. i felt purty.
i don't care how much they hurt my feet. those shoes, they are sexy!the party itself was ok. i mean, it had potential to be fun, but then add in the fact that i know almost noone besides david, and it's slightly awkward to just follow your man around and get introduced to people who have heard about me but i haven't heard likewise. i did enjoy meeting david's boss and two co-horts (the two assistant managers in the other office who work with david as a team). i also enjoyed the free yummy food, and also the open bar. though i was quite certain that my rum & coke did not in fact have any soda in it. maybe just for coloring. taste? nasty. buzz? oh yes. and then, after the alochol, i did enjoy dancing alongside people i'd just met to songs like "baby got back" and "hey ya." plus, david got into it and danced with me, which makes any evening 100 times better.
we were lucky enough to get a room, paid for by the company. we were hoping for super glitziness, but alas, the room was only valued at $139 a night, and therefore was actually sort of tiny and lacking in the ritz. BUT - it was a nice comfy bed, and having the room allowed both of us to drink all night and not have to worry about late night city driving. so it was a blessing.
plus, there was a cool magnifying mirror in the bathroom. i spent a long time trying to get a photo of myself in it, to no avail. david then proceeded to capture one of himself in less than 5 minutes. bitch.
thus ends the office party recap. no exciting christmas party drama, sadly. i was hoping someone would get naked, dance on a table, puke, or possibly do all three. maybe next year!
in other news, i have to go back to the dentist today for my "consultation", which i'm assuming means an appointment where they tell me how many cavities i've gained in the past two years, and decide when i get to come back to give them my money and face THE DRILL. but, i'm just guessing.
