ok, dh's friend's live in gf sent an email suggesting a large group of us rent a large house for nye up north where we can go skiing & chill out & not worry about bars & driving, etc. (but there was like 4 open spots for other people to join) well i'd be the only sober person there. fine whatever i'm expecting that on nye anyway. well then some people may want to go to FL if MSU goes to a bowl game there & my gf just responded that her & her bf had been discussing going to chicago for nye & going to a party at a bar. yah. NONE of these sound like fun to me. i was going to go along w/ the up north thing til the gf invited her friends, which i expected she would. her friends are nice, but if i have to spend more then 1 evening w/ them, i think i might yank off their fake eyelashes & cut their fake nails. after telling them to shut up about things they know nothing about.
and i think dh might like to go up north, but was like, i guess we can't go. so i think he'd like to but is bummed. he doesn't like to drink if i'm not. unless his friends are there and then he'll have a couple.
AND - dh's 1 friend who just got married in may said, "i think those extra spots should be filled by hot chicks who drink a lot & fail to use good judgement". now he was in our wedding & is a great guy in general, but he's a horny, disgusting pig. i mean really?? come on.
so i guess people are just annoying me about nye already. think we'll be lame & stay home & host our other pg friends maybe. sigh.
Re: nye vent (long)
i love your idea of hosting something at home with other pg friends.... or you and DH could go away by yourselves for one last romantic NYE:) as much as i try to prepare myself for being the only sober person in a group setting, it always ends up being really sucky. i feel like im so boring and have nothing to talk about.... plus i'm ready for bed by 10!
well we're also hosting xmas eve for my family so i don't know if i want to throw another party just to be cleaning up after all the drunks all nite.
guess i'll see what our other pg friends are doing. and yah, i agree w/ u. as much as i prepare, it still ends up sucking.
10pm??? shoot, i'm usually ready for bed by 8 or 8:30! not sure how long past midnite i'll make it then!
After years of disappointing NYEs my DH and I have a new tradition where we stay in and stay up watching movies and eating horrible but tasty junk food. I look forward to it for months
I think that this is the last NYE that you're going to have as a childless married couple so you should do something that is fun for both you and your DH!
well, if MSU does go to FLA for a bowl game... that's where we'll be spending NYE. I'll be the only sober one too but it will still be fun. We have a group that's talking about going. I'd rather do that than the anticlimatic party that comes up every year.
