This week has been busy but I didn't take many pictures of what was going on!
Sunday we were supposed to have tithing settlement, but it was cancelled. Andy was home not feeling well so it worked out!
Monday was our company Christmas Party. We went to Bundy's Brazilian Steakhouse. It is $$$. Lunch time $30/head. We got them to include a drink in that price but it's usually another $3 for the drink. Plus tip. It is kind of a fun cool concept though. It is "experience" dining. There is an all you can eat salad bar and they bring you rolls. Then there are about 9 types of grilled meat that they bring around one at a time and serve you a bite or two. The final round is pineapple from the grill. This year we combined lots of departments so there was about 20 of us. It was a fun experience. It's a place that I'll go to if someone else is paying, but it's too $$$ for me!!
Tuesday we went to Porkbelly's restaurant with Ben and Laura and Gpa. Andy had a remote at Advanced windows so he met us there and Gpa drove me over.
Wednesday was YW - and we did the annual light parade. Each organization from church gets a car/truck/trailer whatever and decorates it with Christmas lights. Then we drive through the neighborhood and throw candy and wave at all the neighbors. Santa and Mrs. Clause are usually in an ATV at the start of the parade. It's a fun tradition.
Friday I had an appointment with the weight clinic. I'm happy to report I'm down 10 lbs. (I was down as a couple more but my weight keeps fluctuating.) The medicine the dr prescribed worked great to help me break through my sugar addiction (I'm eating much less sugary crap than I used to!) but ultimately made me feel bad enough that I quit. I was having fast heart beat, sleeplessness, headache, auras in the peripheral of my eyes. I was also experiencing some fevers and such. I don't know if I had a flu going at the same time but I decided to call it quits on the medicine after a time. I'm hoping to continue losing but I gotta tell ya, it's tough during the holidays!
Friday evening was our ward party. It was very nicely done. Kelly and Sandy Casey were in charge and they catered it -- Pico Rico - and really nice BBQ place did brisket and smoked turkey. Ward members brought rolls, potatoes and deserts. Yummy! They had a really nice program that was probably 20-30 minutes. The primary sang. We sat with the Oakden Family. I worked with Chauntel Oakden in YW and her girls are in my group. After she got released they haven't come around much. I'm not sure why but it was fun to see them and visit with them.
