The shop's Christmas party was tonight. May I start out by saying how much I love guacamole? In fact, may I finish by saying that too? Oh, how I do love the avocado! Genius invention, the avocado. I have a friend who makes such good guacamole that I have actually dreamt of it. Delicious. I tried to recreate her guac once & ended up so very happily consuming 8 avocados in less than 24 hours- not to worry, its the "good fat."
So anyway, the party- we were instructed to bring "some weird thing from our house" wrapped up for a White Elephant Gift Steal. As soon as I got there I feared I would be the one to have the weirdest things in my house from which to choose. Some of these gifts the others brought were not at all weird- some were. Surprisingly, there was a clamoring for a bright blue Snuggie. And the thing that seemed the least popular- a Lexmark Printer/Scanner/Copier/Faxer even with extra ink thrown in is now sitting just to my right. No one else wanted it! I was told by the person who'd been saddled with it to just take it, she said I didn't even have to trade anything- "just please take it." I insisted on trading- so I exchanged, not the first gift I'd opened (a blue ceramic penguin cookie jar- someone "stole" that one,) but the second gift I'd opened, a travel size bottle of bath gel & the like. The Lexmark looks a bit like an aircraft carrier to me, but I taunted that once I started making photocopies of my bum with it- they'd all be sorry they hadn't chosen it themselves.

I love guacamole.
You scored!
ReplyDeletePlease don't photograph your butt. Butt sitting looks nothing like butt standing. It might freak you out. Just a warning.
I get the feeling that this is really good advice. Thanks. Especially if one accidentally hit fax instead of copy.
