Christmas luncheon- - yum





 I'm going to try to be good and not come off sounding like a major dick. But I think it's going to be hard so just bear with me if you don't want to large dose of negative you might want to skip tonight posting. And I may not be as bad as I think I might be. But anyway today was the apartment Christmas luncheon. It's a little bit confusing to me because I don't really remember them being a formal luncheon before or even lunch and luncheon. Typically there's something earlier in the month that the agency which runs these apartment complexes sponsors and I sort of thought that's what this was. Had I known it was just one person putting together what I thought would be a great luncheon- - actually it was pretty darn great just not what I was expecting- - I should realize something is up when the luncheon was supposed to start at 1:00 in the afternoon. For some reason that just sort of irks me. So like you have to wait around for 1:00 and that's what we did. The legend was not necessarily potluck in fact I wish it had been potluck. It was pre-made sandwiches by sandwich shop two trays that I could see and there was some sort of a hot dish still trying to figure out what it was it was beans and there was some protein in it I think it was hamburger it was pretty good actually I enjoyed that most of all. I had a sandwich one of those little pre-made sandwiches I didn't see really any condiments but I didn't really look that much for them. I always wait out the line because it's always set up so that there's always a long line of people waiting to get to there food Mecca. There was still food when I went through the line, not a lot but enough to satisfy me as far as filling me up goes. I didn't need a lot because I'm going through this weird phase where I think I'm trying to lose weight so I don't need a giant dinner and again that helped me deal with the dinner today. Anyway, it just seemed like a little weird when the agency puts on the lunch it's a little more put together more options warmer food. Like I said it was cold sandwiches, choice of chips some sort of soupy bean casserole which I thought was pretty good actually. And quite a bit of different desserts. They had to put them pie there from Costco so that's always good and that's what I had plus one big cookie which you can tell is homemade and that's probably the best. There's some punch to drink but I didn't go for that it was in a punch bowl with lots of ice and I just thought it was too cold for me to really enjoy. I think the rest of the crew really liked the event it's not like I didn't like it it's just not what I was expecting it never is I just need to learn to accept that. As far as I can tell the event was put on by one person here at the building who likes to really organize things. She didn't say it but it was like her gift to the building and that's quite nice and she did a good job as far as organizing this event. The folks wandered in, waited in line, found a place to sit eat their lunch and then quietly leave. I'm already looking forward to next year…
