Tonight&#8217;s party, however, is the one I&#8217;m most looking forward to.  It&#8217;s a Christmas pajama party at Hoop&#8217;s Bar.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately the hours present a bit of a dilemma&#8230; I&#8217;ve been told the party will be at its best from 10 PM to 3 AM.  That doesn&#8217;t exactly go well with a job where I get there somewhere between 8 and 9 and leave around 5.  I want to enjoy the party, but I don&#8217;t want to be dead at work tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>So here&#8217;s my plan for tonight:<\/p>\n<p>5:00:  Come home from work.  Turn the cell phone off.  Get in bed.  Take a nap.<br \/>\n9:45:  Get up.  The good thing about a pajama party is, I don&#8217;t have to change clothes.  Put on robe and slippers.  Turn phone back on.  Walk to Hoop&#8217;s.<br \/>\n10-3:  Christmas party<br \/>\n3:15-7:30:  Nap #2.<\/p>\n<p>That actually IS a full night&#8217;s sleep, it&#8217;s just divided into two parts.  As long as I take it easy on the beer at the party (dammit Hoop stop waving those Coronas around when you see me) I should be okay tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>In other news:  Having a blog can be an advantage sometime.  Last night while we were playing trivia, there was a big party going on in the other room at the Saucer.  They didn&#8217;t even come close to eating all their food, and after the party ended one of the cooks who reads my blog brought us a veggie tray and a hot wing tray.  You should&#8217;ve seen the Nuh-Uh Girl swoop down on that veggie tray &#8211; I think she went through two-thirds of it by herself.<\/p>\n<p>The trays came with big bowls of ranch and blue cheese.  It was the near unanimous agreement of everyone on the team that the Saucer&#8217;s ranch SUCKS.  I thought about offering to run across the street to McGuinness to get some take-out cups of their ranch, but then I remembered that I don&#8217;t do that anymore.  The Nuh-Uh Girl dipped her veggies in ketchup.  That&#8217;s disgusting.<\/p>\n<p>Time for work.  I haven&#8217;t had time to do my usual morning routine, reading the Commercial Appeal&#8217;s site, news feeds from the local TV stations, and my favorite blogger\/MILF&#8217;s and Thaddeus&#8217; blogs.  I feel like I don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s going on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Christmas party season begins in hardcore fashion for me today and continues for the rest of this week&#8230; 5 parties in 3 days.
