After a restless night in a very comfortable chalet, we woke up to a wonderful breakfast feast, the kind that gives courage to cowards and legs to the wounded.

Today was Sid Lee' agency party. We all piled up in yellow buses with our brown bag lunches and went to Jouvence in Orford for some winter fun and a huge party. Everything after "Muffin" was free. Thanks Sid Lee!

I had about 3 beers while enjoying the hot tub and spa. (no pic) Then at 4pm, we had an apéro with ice bar and meaty nibbles.

Bloody Caesar

Duck leg

Sausages

The guy called this a pogo, but it looked pretty naked to me. What's a Pogo without its corn batter? Dude: just because it's on a stick doesn't make it a pogo. But I didn't really care since it was delicious.
Club Soda

I had to take a break from all that booze.

After a nap and a shower at the chalet, we made ourselves pretty and all headed out to the main lodge for cocktails, followed by dinner and a party that went on into the wee hours of morning. At midnight, mini burgers and pizza were served to make sure everyone could continue the party without getting woozy.

The first of many gin & tonics, water

Bubbly

More bubbly

Dinner - main course, red wine

Dinner - cheeses, bread and red wine

Ok so in the evening, I had a Tupperware party at my house. That's right: a Tupperware party. So dinner was basically party nibbles and Godiva chocolate someone gave me.

We made $2080 in sales and since 2 of my guests made appointments to have their own parties, it double my gift and earned $841 in credit. I could not stop laughing. That was the biggest hostess gift the representative ever gave. Now that's a lot of plastic! Good thing Tupperware also has pots and pans and fabulous knifes. Yay! I celebrated with more Godiva chocolates, pretzels and a glass of wine.
