Busy Month

This weekend, I'm going to our company Christmas party at the new Omni Hotel in downtown FW. I'm so blessed to work for XTO - they take such great care of us. Last week we got our raises and bonuses - unheard of in our industry during this economy - and all of our regular Christmas festivities are in tact. XTO Christmas parties include wearing a fancy dress (for ladies!) for cocktails, dinner, dancing and casino games. Tomorrow night will be my first Pink Ladies Party. All of Vince's students who competed this year are getting together to look at competition pics while eating/drinking.

Next week at work, we have a Christmas/December birthday brunch and the XTO Ladies Ornament Exchange Luncheon. And hopefully I will be dancing my Tango in the Winter Showcase at T&C. It all depends on my lesson this Saturday and considering I now have a sinus infection, it may be iffier than we thought. My brother and his family also come to DFW next weekend - his first Christmas w/ us in 25 years!

After that is petsitting the week of Christmas and our Christmas family celebrations.

Unfortunately they are still working on our office building so yesterday and today I'm breathing propane or diesel fumes which is not helping my sinus infection. In addition, I also have an appointment w/ an oral surgeon on 12/16. I may have to have my wisdom teeth removed. I've never had a surgery before and I've never known anyone to have an easy experience w/ wisdom teeth. Thank goodness for all the parties and celebrations! I'm gonna need some after too!!!
