gala or gayla?

this shouldn't surprise you but the other day ago (thank you linnea), my work had a winter gala. instead of having a huge christmas party, we have lots of small ones and then we have a winter gala in january so there is always one more party to look forward to. smart eh? well last year, i opted not to attend and all year i caught grief for it. so this year i went and i took a hot date. our gala was held in the westin hotel. my coworker adam and his wife carla got a room in the westin with a sweet view and we met friends up there to pre-party. mark and i had sparkling cider (wasnt that nice of them?). then we all went down to the gala together so we could have a table together.
here are the men folk in the room: back row: josh, rich, mark, simon, paul, adam and adam (kneeling).here are some of the ladies: michaela, kit, jessica, me and tiffany tearing up the dance floor.

my hot date. this is the raw meat that michaela ate.so gross looking. i am glad kit took a picture. the rest of the food was very good.
here is me doing the sprinkler. i am a horrible dancer and i was forced onto the floor against my will and bad things ensued!!! i can do a mean electric lslide thanks to my 8th grade gym teacher mrs. rupper. it was a fun night with great company and free food. way to go employer! (and enrichment committee-go kit and josh!!!)
