I certainly understand the whole "not drinking because you are entertaining" angle but once the party is over I would DEFINITELY suck down a big fat J.
Fatty's right... ...this is something she want to do...let her have fun with it. (and let people think you're really tanked. That way you can insult away or be rude with immunity ) Happy Four-oh!!
If you've mentioned to her before about not liking these types of parties then I think you have a valid complaint. If she didn't know -- then I'd suck it up and get through this one and let her know from here on out your preference. Either way you should feel special/lucky that she would want to do this for you. Being a host is alot of hardwork I agree! I host alot of get togethers at my house. So I see where you are coming from.
"No more yankie my wankie. The Donger need food." I don't know how it relates...That line just cracks me up!!!!
Who could forget siete de mayo? It's a national holiday in the English speaking parts of Canada. Actually, I want as little attention as possible paid to my annual event. This year I'll be glad just to go the Astros game for free. They haven't sucked at home - yet!
