Nice work party

We had a really nice time at our work sponsored party tonight, at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. We took over the whole place!

It reminded me of all those movies I've seen, where the high tech company has a fancy dress up affair, in a beautiful futuristic looking building. But we had more than just a fancy building -- we had dinosaur skeletons, and the MythBusters exhibit! The entire museum was available, for anyone to wander around and see the exhibits. And, the IMAX movies and Planetarium were operating all night.

K wore a pretty black long velour dress and matching shoulder wrap. Here she is, checking out the gift shop, which was all decked out with holiday lights around the windows. Her bright red shiny scooter added just the right touch of holiday color to her outfit.

We didn't get very far past the buffet line and dinner table. There was quite a selection of interesting and healthy foods, and tasty desserts -- everything from stir fry vegetables to chocolate parfait and Tiramisu. We spent the majority of the evening, sitting around gabbing, but that was plenty enough for us. We got to talk to a bunch of people I work with every day, and some that I rarely see any more.

There was quite the crowd. Lots of people stopped by to catch up on our life stories. I saw a few people up on the upper level balconies, waiting to see the IMAX movies or Planetarium shows, or just checking out the view from above.

I didn't want to leave Mandy home all night while we parted, so we brought her along, which is the usual way we deal with that. She waited patiently, sleeping out in her warm nest in the back seat of my car. I checked on her a few times, and she always had the good sense to stay under her warm blankets.

I'm still struggling with a dry cough, the last symptom of the cold I caught just before Thanksgiving. Maybe someday it will be gone.
