Workin' for the Weekend

Yep, it's one of those.

Tonight, we of the Gapers' Block clan will be at Danny's Tavern, 1951 W. Dickens, for a li'l get-together. I'll be there around 8, leaving whenever I get tired (sure to be after 11). Stop by if you get a chance -- we'll be the dorks with GB stickers on our shirts.

Tomorrow, out to my parrents' to help prepare for their holiday party, which occurs on Sunday. Cinnamon and I will be assisting my mom and Brandon (who is managing the party so Mom can mingle) make hors d'ouvres and arrange flowers and other such stuff. From there, we're off to a holiday dinner with a couple other friends somewhere in Skokie (I hope Cinnamon remembers to get directions.)

Then, on Sunday, is the party. Which to a certain extent will be work. I know, I know, it's supposed to be fun, but every one of these I've been to, I've ended up helping out behind the scenes. On the one hand, Brandon and our friend Maureen will be working the party, but on the other I'll feel strange not helping my friends -- and my mom. Not to mention the stress of being at a party surrounded by your parents' friends and feeling out of your element. So we'll see.
