We had our annual North Cache Christmas party last week at the Coppermill in Logan. Just so you know, it was the best N.C. shin dig I've ever been to (and that is coming from someone who has been to 3 whole N.C. Christmas parties, mmmkay).
The first wonderful thing about the evening was the fact that Greg finally got to come. I'm pretty sure people were beginning to think he was just a figment of my imagination. It was fun taking a date to the party, especially because he was the hottest guy in the room.
The food was divine, they served coconut shrimp, prime rib, funeral potatoes, a bunch of salads, and some other awesome things that I can't remember at the moment.
Of course the entertainment was incredible. My friend Joy put together a slide show detailing why our school should fail accreditation this year. And get this, I made it into the slide show! I was one of the many reasons why our school will fail, which gives me a warm Christmasy feeling inside.
A former teacher, John Hernandez, also provided some entertainment. He not only used to MC all the Christmas parties, but he is also married to one of my heroes, so it was pretty fun to meet him. He gave us an "in-service" on how to properly tell a joke. Each table was given an envelope with three jokes inside, of course I some how ended up being the lucky joke-teller at our table. When my turn arrives I stand in front of the crowd (a bit nervous, I won't lie) and say the first line of my joke. "So I guess you heard they no longer allow blind people to skydive..." then a dramatic pause, just as I was instructed. John interjects, "I didn't hear that." At this point I clear my throat, pull the mic a skosh closer to my mouth, and say..."So I guess you heard they no longer allow blind people to skydive." The entire room begins laughing their butts off thinking this is my joke. Let me just tell you, that was not my joke. The punch-line was, "apparently it scares the crap out of their seeing eye dogs." The initial joke was a big enough hit that I just took a bow and didn't tell my other two.
I'm not sure how next year's little get-together is going to top this, but I'm already looking forward to it.

Ha! I read that and laughed. I can totally see you doing the joke. I'm glad you guys had fun and were actually able to go together!
You're right, you were spectacularly funny! I wasn't so bad myself. But I have to say, as cute as Greg was I like my men a little more picante! Love ya!
Brie, I'm glad you know I'm a bone head and yet you still love me!
Joy, you we're a riot that night! I hope you don't feel uncomfortable by me saying this, but your man is a Peruvian dream-boat.
