I got home from work yesterday and had 3 boxes waiting for me. I knew what one was because my sister Biz told me already:
Yippee!! Harry and David pears! As you can see, one has already been consumed.
Then next 2 boxes?
My friends at Pop Chips sent me 2 cases of Pop Chips for the Holidays, how nice was that? Thanks Pop Chips, you’ve made my kids super happy to have a bag in their lunch today!
It seems like this Holiday season is flying by and I haven’t really had any time to enjoy it yet! I have to slow down a little and concentrate on what counts most. I haven’t really started baking yet (although I will tonight for teachers gifts for the last day of school tomorrow). At work yesterday, we got a few “towers of treats” in cute boxes, so I took the empty boxes home so put the cookies in, I think it will look cute.
I am looking forward to today though. We have our annual “Yankee Swap” party during lunch. I’ve already ordered the pizzas and picked up the pop and we will have at least 40-45 people participating, so it should be really funny. Last year I was the one who got to pick from all the gifts, and I actually took this from one of my bosses (brave, right?)
I chose the Leopard Skin Snuggie! I love that thing, I wear it every night watching tv. I wish I could bring it to work :).
Do you do office parties like that? And this weekend is our office Christmas party. In case you don’t know, the company I work for designs restaurants, so usually it at a restaurant we’ve designed. We’ve had parties at Mike Ditka’s in Oak Brook, Scoozi’s in Chicago, Joe’s Steak House, Petterino’s, Brookfield Zoo (Bocaditos), but this year our party is going to be at Tavern at the Park in Chicago. It’s right across the street from millennium Park, with views of the Lake, so it should be a great time!
Have a wonderful day!
Just gotta say it: Harry & David pears are THE BEST EVER. I’m not even that much of a pear fan, but I’ll theirs!
Have fun at your party.
Be bold and love the snuggie… I have mine on as we speak (and I keep the temp down in the house while Jackie is at her inconvenient day job to save money)
What great loot you got! I love Harry and David fruit – my grandmother used to send us a Tower of Treats every Christmas and it was so good!
Yum on the Pop Chips as well – I love those things! Wish they carried them in delis – I’d actually choose a bag of chips with my sandwich if they did.
Your office parties always sound so fun – one year I worked at a place big enough that they did a big holiday bash – quite enjoyable, I have to say!
Can’t wait to see what you get in the gift exchange this year! What did you buy for it?
Awesome!! I LOVE Pop Chips – very cool that they sent that. I’ve never seen the individual-sized bags!
The office party sounds like a blast – I usually skip mine – it’s at night, on a Saturday, major dress up – eh.
Pop chips are SO good! Your office party sounds sooooo fun! I wish I worked in a place that had the same kind of spirit!!!
Hey, I only got ONE case of Popchips! 🙁 hehe j/k! Love the loot! 🙂 Have fun at your party!!
Have fun — totally jealous, what a great location!
Oh what a fun package of chips – yum!
I just recently heard of the party you mentioned but by a different name. What’s funny is this is the 3rd time I’ve read it since. Sounds like a fun time!
