shorts and fun socks party

it's been a while since our rad. crew got together for all the laughs and all the fun. we decided to have a verrrry late holiday party just for the sake of ease in scheduling. last years theme was ugly sweaters and this year's theme was shorts and fun socks. we did a secret santa exchange but along with that was lots of drinking, enough food to feed an army, forced heavy lifting to get my area rug in place before i allowed festivities to begin, clown faces, photo shoots, two positives and one negative, all of the wrapping paper launched at me with instructions to "aim between the eyes," calling a white dog a 'black' name but really it's a Game of Thrones name, drunken tears shed after the most deserving person announced a pregnancy, and endless giggles. if i don't say it enough, i have the greatest coworker-friends ever!!

funnnn!!

tell me why this sassy bitch looks a little like a pedophile peeking up over those glasses.

this was an awesome dual pair of socks!!  his actual legs are just as hairy as the socks he's used to cover them up.

grub time! the only person to spill on my new area rug was....ME. whoops!

while everybody posed for this pic i was in my own little world. hello there, creepy eye...

 if "turnt up" were in my vocabulary, this would be the threshold moment for when things were about to get "turnt up" aka when Tracy, my version of Beyonce's Sasha Fierce, came out. except Tracy is less fierce and more ghetto. i mean i grew up in the Bay so that's my excuse.

we had a little visitor who was probably upset that with all the people around, she didn't get a morsel of food. meet, Khaleesi, whom i wish to be mine.

SF radiology has a good lookin' crew! hawt!

oh, i mean the women in radiology are hawt...haha!! we made the boys do the same pose...twas a riot!

making good use of those stairs

i'm not really sure what's happening here (which is funny considering i'm right there with her...) but i'm hoping that she was dropping it low. 

getting our lighting right

gift exchange time!!! to be quite honest, i don't remember most of this. good thing i took a ton of pictures to piece it all together eventually. 

lindsay got her work hubby, adrian! 

ron hates clowns so naturally, when he opened his gift and this clown mask was the first thing he saw, it was fun for everybody else. 

ron got his faaaavvvvvorite tech, Donna.

glasses cleaner? i have no idea.

the cutest wrap job!

i got nattypants! like my gift wrapping skills? 

she asked for a hair teasing brush, eye liner and gloves for working out so i put them all together on one awesome version of her. i also got her a rose gold flat plate necklace that says "love" because she loves anything that says love. i know, i know..... i kick ass at gift presentation, huh?

love that pic in the book. nick looks so annoyed

maple got a scratcher for her cats that looked like a dj scratch deck 

one of my favorites! 

happy birthday Natty!!

a blast as always!

belated secret santa

christmas is about family and at work we've built a little dysfunctional family of our own. finding time where everybody can meet up in the evening is difficult due to varying work shifts but we make it happen for fun nights like this. it builds up the camaraderie of our work environment and allows us to truly get to know each other and care about each others lives outside of work. we had a suuuuper belated secret santa at a japanese restaurant of all places yesterday. i'm fairly certain the servers were confused and probably thought we were a bunch of geeks but judging from the pictures, i'm sure you can tell that we didn't care too much. 

i rocked a borrowed vest from a friend and added to the festivity of it by bringing out the red pants and green shirt. i decided to continue with the ugly theme and throw my hair up too because if you're going to look stupid, you may as well look stuuuuuupid. 

i think we all agreed that Tan won for best ugly sweater. bedazzled snowmen on men...so hot right now. 

you know that scene in Elf where Buddy the "elf" is sitting on his dad's lap and in comparison he's enormous? somehow this picture turned out so that i look like a giant on these two. haha.

matchy matchy!

she keeps it 'classy as f*ck'

lookin a little elderly there...

women's XL

not quite a bow but we'll take it. ruby's husband made her that sweater AND wrapped and drew on the gift. what a keeper!

part of Muri's gift. i won't go into detail about the story book i made her, but let's just say it got a lot of laughs. 

ass things and mouth things for Ron. hmm what does that say?

mouth guard because she grinds her teeth at night

hahaha!! he now he needs to get a matching pair for Kingston, his beloved pup. 

haha! 

fun time, friends!! love you all!
