I was going to start watching OITNB last night and then I got into this lifetime movie called "Damaged". OMG so lame. Lifetime knows how to suck me in even with the worst movies!

Just spotted one of my favorite airport creatures, a middle aged woman in tropical attire drinking a marg at 10:30 in the morning. I see you Sharon - your vaca starts NOW

Have done this, as long as you count a sundress "tropical attire."

My BFF canceled hanging out today because "she's not a morning person." She was supposed to get here around 11 which is when she texted me to see if we could hang out next week instead. I'm trying super hard not to be furious with her.
I feel like I should have known better than to think she'd be able to get it together to come over that early in the day. It's times like these that I'm very glad she and her H aren't planning on having kids.
So, O and I are still going to go to Target but alone. At least he's cute.

Sometimes friends without kids suck. And I'm sure they think the same of us sometimes too;) Sorry you're solo, but you're totally right, O is a cute companion!

I was just told (in no uncertain terms) that there will be no alcohol at MM's birthday party at the IL's house.............................................................

Yes, why??

I'd definitely bring a bottle or two of wine in my bag then.

Too late for a venue change? How is one expected to get through a children's birthday party without alcohol?

[3dimesdown]

@jemomma...Baptists. We've had beer there before when in the pool, but they don't want a bunch of people seeing us drink at their house. Or something?

My BFF in college had a purse we called "the wine purse" because it was the perfect size for a bag of Franzia to fit in, with the spigot out and everything.

lol. The image of you with a wine bottle in your purse gives me the giggles. I also imagine you have some sort of straw that goes into the bottle so you don't have to take it out and share

NO to drinking wine from a straw. Plastic cups are suitable though for situations like this. I'd share with a friend so it wouldn't make me look as bad of a lush.

Also, long champ bags were made for this purpose.

Morning Ladies

I'm feeling a little hunger over and super exhausted today. Drank one glass of wine too many celebrating Baby G's birthday last night. It feels very surreal that my baby is 1. I'll post pics of all of our festivities after the weekend, but they won't be that great because apparently she hates sand and is not interested in smashing cake LOL.

After I get out of this place in 6 hours we still have a lot to do to get ready for G's party. Wish I could have just taken today off, but I am taking a half day tomorrow, so yay for that!

White wine in plastic cups with a splash of OJ looks just like plain OJ. Just bring a wine opener. This is serious business.

[belle0720]

jessila LOL at 11:00 being too early for her. Has she never worked or gone to school?? Also, canceling at the same time that you are supposed to get together is sooo incredibly annoying!

[mrsdee1982]

3dimesdown, so sorry. My mom tried to randomly pull this on me too, which was super bizarre for her. But I just told her "Ok, if this is your hill to die on, I totally understand and will respect your decision. We will just find a new venue for the party then." I was fully prepared to do so. She told me "No, that's ridiculous. Just have your party here where it won't cost you any money." and I told her I didn't want to make her uncomfortable with any of my plans that I had 100% intention of implementing, like the boozy punch and beers. She quickly realized she was being out of line and all was settled.

I only recommend this route if you are prepared and able to find a new venue though.

[mrsdee1982]

Also, here are some ideas for you 3dimesdown ,

Dying at the sunscreen vodka! Also holliberry28 you sound like a veteran booze sneak

Yes, my mom wholeheartedly believes that good Russian/Jewish girls shouldn't drink. She will grill you down at parties lol.

[3dimesdown]

I'm dying at all you sophisticated ladies and your booze smuggling tips. Y'all are my people.

[erbear]

I'm going to need to smuggle a drink into lo's party Saturday. My mom has already complained because it's at a shelter with no bathroom right next to it (there's a port a potty and bathrooms across the street). Now she's bitching it's going to be "too hot" (high of 84) and she "won't get to have any fun" because she'll have to take care of my dad and take him to the bathrooms.

Because, you know, it's clearly her party.

[jessila]

3dimesdown, ugh. I'm sorry. How does your H feel about this? Maybe if he's the one saying that you'll have MM's party elsewhere it'll be a bigger sway than you saying it?
We're having O's party at our own house so there will definitely be alcohol.
In the meantime, I'm trying to think of other ways for you to smuggle it in.

[3dimesdown]

It's too late to move the party and I'm lazy. So mostly I'll just whine about it and ultimately enjoy not having to do anything for the party besides show up. Definitely would have enjoyed doing nothing more with a beer in my hand though.

I can't stop laughing at this. Like you just KNOW her name is Sharon.

A few people mistook the sangria at DDs party for fruit punch (it started out clearly labeled, but my grandmother threw away all the "trash" as soon as she got there). My aunt even put some in one of the kid's cups. Luckily, the 2yo wouldn't drink it.

Oh my. I went to an adult only New Years party that served pot brownies and normal brownies at the same table and no sign. The dog ate one and ended up loopy. You can guess which one I ate too.
