When life gives you lemons, make lemonade-then throw it in the face of the person who gave you the lemons until they give you the oranges you originally asked for.

I hate Christmas Parties.

Le Sigh. I made the hugest mistake the other day. I was asked by boss lady if I was coming to the Christmas party and I quickly blurted out a "yes" before I really thought about it. I'm pretty new at this job, and I do really love it, but...

Also, I'm single, and everyone else is bringing a date. I'm going to feel very awkward.

Then I found out we had to do Secret Santa too, which I hate, and I pulled the name of the newest person on staff, who I don't know anything about. Then I also found out that it is extremely formal. No pants for the ladies type formal. Christ. So now while I'm short on money I also have to spend money on a dress and gift.

I had to drag my mom out shopping with me today. Surprisingly I was able to find quite a few dresses I liked in my size, and got a fairly nice black and white dress for $33! However, as I now think back on it, it is sleeveless and I know I'm going to be uncomfortable with my arms totally exposed. I'm also close to (if not the) biggest girl at work, and I feel like I'm going to look like a clown all dressed up.

Why, oh why!
