The parties start right now.

I'm a slug.
I don't have a job that offers an employee holiday gathering and my husband usually attends the few inconvenient ones he's invited to, solo. His own company doesn't do any sort of formal party, being cheap and mostly Jewish, or maybe it's a timing thing,I don't know-- at any rate, I haven't had a chance to dress up and mingle with other couples for Christmas for years... so I make my own gatherings. Today I'll lunch with some gal pals and tonight the Bunko Broads go out for dinner and a gift exchange, theme: forbidden delights
Oh, yeah. Look out.

....followed by a bar bash with some guys who found me on MYSPACE.
Yes, They found me, this is them.
I am honored.

Saturday I have another writer's thing, more on the listening end, not so much on the partying, but Sunday we're back to the social scene hosting the hubby's footballviewing/winetasting/wing eating/yardgames/pictionary/birthday party.
Wish me luck.

Enjoy your weekend and
this from my favorite newspaper, The Onion.

That's pretty damn social of you. will you get a day to hang out and recover?

Oh, and what's your Myspace? We should be friends on there too.

That sounds like a reasonable and fun amount of socializing! But if you want, you can have some of mine. I'll give it away. Just say you are my representative. If you take the family stuff, I bet they'll be very, very nice to you, especially if you say you are a published writer. If they ask where I am, just say somewhere far, far away...that's very, very quiet, and no Christmas. ;)

Thanks for the link! Love The Onion. I dream of being an Onion writer. My talent of sarcasm must serve some higher purpose. ;)

Churlita-
myspace is:
http://www.myspace.com/lindasands
I need some teenager help with my layout and to boost my friends list... thinking I could dangle the PS3 in front of my son and get him to work on that for me... I'm also on facebook and livejournal and probably some porn sites- kidding, just kidding, I'm hardly ever on live journal anymore.

Julie- I know, I know I need to send the Onion something- just like my McSweeney's dream... I would totally do your party obligations if I could dress in fancy clothes and speak with a bad British accent...
