We had a studio party/lunch with a yankee swap but this was one where we were supposed to bring in some piece of junk or a past gift that we wanted to re-gift because it was so bad. I couldn't find anything that I thought would be fun enough so I didn't participate in that part but it was fun to watch. People brought in handcuffs, 6 year old Nashoba Valley wine (gross), refrigerator magnets of body parts - not dirty ones, ears, nose, etc., a CD of the soundtrack of ER. That was funny. Anyway, it was a pretty fun time even though only like 1/2 or 1/3 of the floor showed up. Some people were out at their kids' school pageants, etc., and some teams were working on stuff that had to go out today. But anyway, it put everyone in a festive mood. Then there was beer and wine that we broke out later around 3 or 4pm and a lot of people just sort of hung out on the floor drinking that. I worked in the afternoon because I wanted to tie up any loose ends since I'll be out all next week because Rob and I are going to Tennessee to my parents'. Speaking of which, I might be light on the updates over the holiday, so I hope that won't ruin your week, all my faithful readers. Ha ha.

We watched the finale of Survivor tonight. It was actually on last night but due to the decline in popularity, we hadn't found out by accident who won today from the web or news, etc., and we had it on Tivo from last night. The slimiest guy won so that was upsetting - some used car salesman guy with a gross panther tattoo on his shoulder like an idiot. Oh, well. There's no accounting for taste.

Watching Survivor makes me upset because by the time they are at the end and half starved I feel like a big fatass. Even though I don't want to be half-starved, still. Anyway, so I have to re-vow to stop being lazy and eating bad food. I just found a diet soda I might like tonight, which would be good because I really don't like diet coke or pepsi or diet sprite, etc., but I like having soda sometimes instead of just water. So anyway, we got diet cherry coke last night at the store and it's pretty good. So that's the big excitement.
