Kelly It's
technically not a Christmas Party - We call it the End of year party (Technically in my mind, it should be the Year Beginning Party, but that's a whole 'nother topic) Years ago the exc's decided that it was to busy to do a party in December. There were always conflicting parties and family obligations. So they decided Jan was a good time to do the party. Plus sinces it technically not a Christmas Party no one is offended. Plus I'm sure the cheaper rates in January had nothing to do with it
I guess I just feel bad about not doing something with her b/c it's her first weekend in town. Her new boss is a B!tch to her and I know she needs some stress relief. Starting a new job and then having a boss that belittles you....I'd want a couple of glasses on wine on Friday too.
I figure I'll probably invite her along for dinner and drinks with the bf and I. We're totally not a couple that would mind. We usually just go down the street to the pub and have dinner and a couple of drinks. Nothing major. Sometimes people show up, sometimes it's just the two of us. I don't think either of would mind. We've both been the new ppl in town before. I just want to give her an outlit for this weekend then start pushing her to do her own thing. I know there's only so much I can do. It's hard to be in a new city all by yourself. I took her to the hockey game last night to get her out of the house. She's really into the art scene so I'm hoping she'll talk and art class and meet some ppl.
Thanks for making me feel better about needing my own time. I don't know why I feel guilty about it but I do...
Junebug I'm really excited about the dinner. I was think of inviting 3 of my gf and each of them would have to bring a female "date" Most of my close gf's complain about how few girlfriends we have so I figured we should learn to "share" the one's we have. It'll be like a girls only "pick up party". Only instead of picking up boys, we'd be picking up new friends! I'm hoping that we can get it to be a regular thing. Either potlucks or rotate houses or meet once a month for dinner. Just to build up our social cirlce. Hoepfully it will work.
