Long Weekend Part 1: Work Holiday Party Plus Some


Such an epic long weekend for my company holiday party and ringing in my 32nd birthday with friends. My husband was traveling for work so Kate stepped in as my date for my work party at a Universal Studios resort on Thursday night. Luckily they gave us Friday off because lots of wine was had! The night consisted of dinner, wine, karaoke, dancing, wine, casino table games with funny money and more wine.






On Friday morning I went to brunch with some coworkers at Hash House a Go Go which was amazing and much needed! I've been dying to try out their brunch menu. The portion sizes are out of control so I had leftovers for days.




On Saturday night I went out with my friends from college visiting from near and far which we'd been planning for months. We met up at a sushi restaurant downtown and then rang in my birthday at 12 o'clock at a bar downtown before calling it a night like the old fogies we are. ha!


Sunday brunching for my birthday happened which I'll cover tomorrow since this post has gotten long enough. Luckily I took this morning off of work to use up the remainder of my PTO and slowly wean back into the work week after all the celebrations over the weekend.

  10. happy birthday! Isn't it so great when you get to use PTO to recover like that? I always get jealous this time of year of people who have these awesome work holiday parties--I work in a small office and we're all technically state or county government, which means we might take ourselves to lunch one day but otherwise we get nothing fancy.

  17. It sounds like you had the best weekend celebrating Christmas and your birthday! That's so awesome that Kate stepped in to go to your work party with you, and that they gave you Friday off! I would need the next day off too after a party the night before! Can't wait to hear all about brunch, from what Kate wrote it sounded fantastic!
