I May Not Be Smokin' Hot, But...

I won the Smoking Gun Award at my office Christmas party tonight!

Yes, I know, Christmas was weeks ago.

But due to busy schedules and such, we just now had our office Christmas party TONIGHT. Well, last night...seeing as I am blogging at 2:43 a.m.

Anyway! My point - and I do have one -- is that I won! Not only a certificate, but like $40 in Coon Bucks, and a couple of gift certificates to Rancho Grande -- THE most popular Mexican Restaurant in Carroll, Iowa...and all because I happened to guess correctly that Hustling Hailey strangled Ace High at the Paramount Casino...

See, we had a murder mystery dinner deal as our Christmas party theme...what a blast! Of course, I was too shy to portray a character, but thanks to my still-keen reporter's sixth sense, I just KNEW Hustling Hailey (alias B. Dudley) had to have killed Ace High (alias Jason L) because poor Ace was strangled...and Hailey and my good pal Lucy Legs (nice feather) were the only gals wearing feather boas...obvious -- and convenient -- strangling "tools" -- and Hailey was also wearing pearls....

Actually, truth be told, I originally thought it was Elvis (alias Tommy M) but he really didn't have a reason to kill Ace High..

Anyway....Lucy Legs really had no reason to kill Ace, either...Lucy (alias Kristin) had no real reason to want Ace dead...but ol' Hailey....well, she'd do anything for money...

Anyway... a good time was had by all. A delicious meal prepared and served by my hair stylist, Kristi, and her mom and pop...lots of laughs and a bit of karaoke...I really feel like one of the gang now at my new job.

It has been a great day....

My son and his two speech teams earned 1s at todays groups speech contests in Denison, Iowa -- I could not be prouder....they worked so hard...

OK, so my man Obama did not win Nevada... there is still hope...

Life, I love you. All is groovy.
