The highly anticipated Company Christmas Party has come and gone; it was alright. Could it be that it was only “just alright” because I got sicker than a dog due to excessive overly drinking far more alcohol than I should ever consume on an empty stomach, and while being sick? This very well could be, but we’ll go over the details and then figure it out from there.

The day was long on Saturday. We had a lot to do, and no motivation to do any of it. Mike started his running around around 9am and got all the stuff he needed to figure out taken care of. I was sick all weekend, I couldn’t keep anything down and just felt nauseous. It wasn’t fun. I assumed it was nerves and just carried on with my business.

Before I continue, let me just say this: This entry is not going to be long. I’m not going to go into full detail about this and that, honestly I just have no desire to write this post to begin with; I’m doing it just so I can look back and be like “Oh yea! I remember that.” Also, I want to post the photos of everything. That’s pretty much the only reason why I’m even considering writing this entry; bare with me with this short non-descriptive entry. Thanks.

Anyways, carrying on … After an extremely extended “omg, nothing is working out” type of day we FINALLY made it to the hotel around 4pm. After getting everything in our rooms, Gwenn and I went straight to the bathroom and began working on our hair and make-up. The boys sat around watching tv for a while since they were waiting for Adam’s little brother. We had a few guest show up, including Mike’s parents while we waited to go down to the party. Finally we got all ready, the boys were in the Christmas attire and we headed downstairs.

It was incredibly different this year. There were a lot more people, try double the amount of people from last year. We walked in the banquet hall and you couldn’t find anyone anywhere. We picked a table all the way in the back corner with everyone we hung out with and sat down. The entire banquet hall was filled with tables, last year the buffet was in the back of the room; the dance floor filled the front of the room. We all enjoyed dinner, I had finally ate something and I probably shouldn’t have even bothered. I also had some wine with dinner. Remind you, I don’t like wine. I don’t like to drink anything but hard liquor because I don’t like the taste of any of it. Afterward, everyone disappeared leaving me at the table with Mike’s Mom. Usually I have no problem getting along with her, unfortunately I wanted to get drunk and have fun but was losing my buzz very quickly. This is what started my excessive drinking past my limit.

I finally got away from the table, headed back upstairs to the room and started doing shot after shot. I wanted to get my buzz going again. I told myself the past few months that I wanted to drink heavily, and dammit, I’m going to drink heavily. Long story short, I drank too much, I should have stopped there. We went back downstairs, met up with some people. Sat at the table awhile, went back upstairs, met up with some more people, invited them in for shots… I ended up way too intoxicated. I don’t think I’ve been that drunk in a very long time. I already wasn’t feeling well the previous two days, I ate food that didn’t agree with me, and here I was taking shot after shot without holding back, slowing down, or just stopping.

You can all guess what happened next … That’s right. I got sick. For the first time in my entire life, I actually got sick from drinking. I was ashamed and kinda mad at myself that I allowed myself to get that drunk. I learned my lesson that is for sure. *shrugs* Oh well. I ended up sitting in the bathroom for god only knows how long until I felt I was able to get up. Mike finally pounded on the door and told me to get my ass outta there before he breaks it down. I opened up, changed outta my clothes, hit the bed and passed out. I woke up the next day feeling like absolute crap.

Did I have fun? Yes.
Did I enjoy it this year more than last year? No. I had a lot more fun last year. It was longer. Everyone got rooms this year, so once the prizes and such were given away, everyone booked upstairs to their rooms. Another thing, everyone had rooms this year so everyone was really spread out. Sure, I got sick, but I still had fun. I really don’t have much more to say than that. *shrugs* Sorry.

Here’s what you’re waiting for though – The pictures. I am going to attempt to put captions underneath them so if you see them, it worked, if you don’t. I failed miserably.
