I Will Vouch for the 'Party' Part....

I will not comment.

Late Night....

So, last night (Thursday), I kind of ended up being out until 12:30. Oops. It started out as a quick drink for a good coworker's 50th birthday (I said the fateful words 'I'll stop by, but only for an hour or so') which turned into getting invited to the auto show party which turned into stopping in four separate bars and staying out late on a work night. Oops. This would normally be bad news, but the auto show party was a work function with all of the top members of the company, so if anything, it was a good opportunity to mingle.

Anyhow - I found, at many points throughout the night, me saying to myself "I should go home". However. Life is short. But you know what is even shorter - the number of opportunities to go out and truly live it up! I find myself regularly in the situation where a good amount of my good friends (and I love you guys) are settled down or settled in or something of that nature where people just aren't going out much any more. It's not that I'm a party animal, but when an opportunity to go out and do something fun presents itself, I have a hard time saying no because, let's face it, it's hard to say where the next 'going out' opportunity is coming from.

Although some of you might be reading this and thinking 'loser!!' - I know I'm not alone in this one. Thoughts?

2009!!!!!!

So it's 2009!  Woohoo.   I didn't have too many bad feelings toward 2008.  I've had worse years. 

I did, indeed, celebrate New Year's Eve - I went to a friend's party.  I am very curious, given the state of the economy and everyone cutting back, how the $100 bar package sales did.  It seems like lately most people feel New Year's Eve is overrated (every one I have spoken with about this event has said so) - they say it with the same disdain and defiance of someone denouncing a very popular band or tv show - as if to go against the mainstream.  However, hating on NYE seems to be the mainstream.  

Anyhow.  Long story short, I had a good one.  My friend Stacey is here.  Today we caught up with our pledge child/grandchild/sister Erica.  Tomorrow we will have coffee in the day with we have a sorority sister's private party to crash at night.  Goodtimes.  

I'll work on making my resolutions this weekend.  I'm going to go against the grain of hating on New Year's Eve/New Year's and celebrate every aspect of it.
