Thank God I Belong to 24 Hour

Holy hell!

Today was our building's annual tenant BBQ. There are three buildings in our complex, so that = lots of food. Now I am usually on a very basic diet. I graze all day but I don't tend to eat heavy meals. This is partially for weight control and partially because I am too tired to cook. But when I do eat, I EAT GOOD. My manager (well no longer as her role has transitioned), me, and the other admin at the time would go to happy hour when we would get bonuses and order everything on the menu. No lie. Now keep in mind we are all small girls, so the look on the waiters' faces was priceless. They had shot and doubt in their eyes, all at once. We would never disappoint. Everything we ordered would be gone, because we didn't want to waste anything!

So anyways my my former manager was really excited because she missed last years BBQ. We head down there and are one of the first few there. We grab these bad ass plates that have the fork, spoon, and knife hooked on as well as a spot for butter and a little hook in case you had a wine glass (damn). We start with the salad. Then pasta. Then coleslaw. I took some potatoes too. Oh and we got the cornbread...I got a 1/4 hamburger and so did she...and she also got some salmon. We head over to the dessert/condiments section. I start piling on the goods to my burger and some stuff topples over, which my manager thankfully catches. We then spot some shortcake that we put into a bowl and help each other as we pour strawberries and whipped cream all over it...but then we had to figure out how to stack the bowl on top of the plate of heaping food. Turning around carefully, we see some huge ass brownies and stack them on top of the shortcake. Somehow we also managed to get a glass of lemonade while waddling back towards our building. You should have seen the stares we got. Some laughed, others just had wide open eyes and gaping mouths. Two guys offered to help us but we said we were fine and that we had to go to another building anyways. The trickiest part was trying to open the door to get inside.

Good times!
