The owner’s wife is a great gal. She invited all the staff from her husband’s 10 stations and her son’s 2 over for dinner. We often don’t have Christmas parties … partly because it’s so crazy in broadcasting at this time of year … and partly because our local GM is just not a party-planning guy. That’s not criticism. Neither am I. I’ve tried, but I don’t have any fun at my own parties – a bad sign.
Jane did most (maybe all) of the cooking herself. There was a big buffet and I kept trying to remember the 15 Tips for Restrained feasting.(http://fatfamilyotherfwords.blogspot.com/2009/11/fifteen-tips-for-restrained-feasting.html ) I took a small plate. Tried to focus on fruits and veggies. Then I found people in another part of the house to talk to. Had a lot of fun and really wasn’t tempted, because I could not see the goodies.
... UNTIL the last half hour. Yeah, I had a little wine. Everyone was into deserts. I have a serious sweet tooth … so I went back. I wasn’t too awful, but if I’d left a half hour earlier, I’d be several hundred calories lighter.
