One party down...

First off, let me just state for the record that my head hurts AND I've partially lost my voice. Nice huh? Work Friday was mostly comprised of this extrememly long meeting with a client. Once that was over, I was back at the office cleaning my desk up for the open hours tours going on later today (Saturday). I took off early and went home to take a nap then get cleaned up for The Gala. I picked Ellen up and we made our way to the country club.

Wow. This event was pretty swank. It was held in a HUGE tent adjoining the club. The entry way was a tunnel filled with trees decorated with snow. I'm not talking a few trees, there were a LOT of trees. Hit the bar then started mingling. Did a lot of walking around, shaking hands, hugging, etc.

Dinner was fantstic. Filet mignon was the center piece. I had plenty of wine. By the way I feel this morning, I would say it was a little too much. Hopefully, I'll feel better after more rest. Met some wonderful people last night and made new friends. After the festivities started winding down, a few of us headed to the Brick for more drinks. Ran into Luke and his woman there. Pics on the way.
