Time	Event
11:03a	party paranoia and such Food ( Read more... ) No matter what, I will cycle through some weight exercises for at least 15-20 minutes. It's gonna be tough because I've got the party coming up, and I've got a ton of cleaning and prep work to do to make sure the house looks fab!! EEK! I'm actually starting to get nervous about it. We've got over 40 people who are coming for sure, and a bunch are sure to come without rsvping. If that dress doesn't fit I'll shoot myself, I swear. I ended up going for the silver and black polka dot one because it's fun without being toooo formal and dressy. I sort of have a back up outfit, but not really. It sucks that a lot of my friends won't be able to make it. Most of them are in NYC or have some other stupid thing to attend, so as usual everyone else's people will be there, not mine. I know it's stupid to seperate friendships like that, especially when technically, D's friends are my friends I guess, but it's really not quite the same, so I'm pouting a bit. While I'm good at it, I kind of detest having to make endless small talk with people I don't see that often. It's exhausting to be "on," and it would be nice to have some of my friends there that I would actually be interested in talking to instead of having to pretend to remember people that I haven't seen since the last holiday party. Lol..I'm so grouchy,eh? I'm feeling a bit better lately body-wise. I'm in my size 2 suit. Granted, it's the skirt, which I don't have a problem fitting in, so it doesn't really say much. It's the pants that I have to get into...see I've only gained a little in my waist, and it's like whatever weight I gained went to the hips/thighs/butt area, which is why the pants are tricky, and the skirts aren't. It's not totally hideous or anything. I carry it well enough and it's pretty evenly distributed.. I honestly think five pounds and some toning up will do it. There is hope. I'm honestly hoping that when this pms bloat subsides I'll just shrink back, but that's mostly wishful thinking. So here's what's on the menu (- it's all finger food type stuff bc it's not really a sit down affair): 3 fruit infused vodkas: blueberry, blackberry, raspberry 1 plain vodka 1 red wine, 1 white 24 pack of beer Hopefully people will bring more.. Roasted turkey breast Goat cheese stuffed dates Sesame chicken wings Deviled eggs Mini quiche Mini spanikopita Dips: humus, white bean, black bean, french onion, salsa Many chips & crackers Various cheeses & meats Veggie platter And whatever desserts other people are bringing... And now I need to get back to work! Bah! Current Mood: nervous Current Music: Tony's Theme, the Pixies (1 thought | share your thoughts)
11:11a	Please advise??? So, Cheryl's babyshower is tomorrow. It's not at work. It's at ,Kathy, our team secretary's house. It's at 6:30 and will last until about 9, and it's like thirty minutes away. Tomorrow is the day before party, when I had planned to be shopping for stuff, making the dips, cleaning up the house, you know, all that fun stuff. I didn't intend to go. I told Kathy I wouldn't be able to make it because it's the day before I'm having like 60 people to my house, and she totally gave me the stink eye. EEk. I know this looks really bad to be missing a big "team" event like this, but it is the day before, and it is after work. My shower was during work. Am I totally wrong in this?? I really don't think I can do it because it would leave only Friday to prepare for the party, and I think that would be disastrous! Opinions? Current Mood: worried (11 thoughts | share your thoughts)
2:44p	Holiday question Ok, so... How does everyone handle holidays and family and stuff? D and I have our own Christmas tree, which we spent a great deal of time decorating, and all our presents are under the tree. My mom asked us to come to dinner Christmas Eve, spend the night, and spend all of Christmas with them. D and I thought it might be nice if we didn't spend the night, and then we could drink cocoa or whatever and open our presents in the morning together, and then we could go to my parents' house and spend Christmas day with them. Of course, my mom isn't having this. The fact that I'm married and have my own apartment just doesn't register. She wants everything to be the way it was when I was five and there was no question where I'd be. So, my question is, is it totally rude and evil for me not to spend all of Christmas and Christmas Eve with my parents? Is my compromise reasonable? (3 thoughts | share your thoughts)
