Should I go to the all weekend long party?

I was just saying in my last post how busy I’ve been this week and how I think I made myself get sick since I over did things. Well, you’d think after the week that I had I might get to relax a bit this weekend? Doesn’t look that way.

This weekend a good friend of ours is holding a surprise birthday party for my sister in law. Not only that, this friend of ours took my sister in law and her husband on a cruise to the Bahamas last weekend too! That was also a surprise. Nice eh?

These parties are a taxing event in themselves. Our friend goes all out. I’m sure she’s got an eight course meal planned, lots of booze and to top things off they have a hot tub so I’m sure it will end with everyone in the hot tub.

Speaking of going all out. Last summer our friend had a 10th wedding anniversary party for my sister in law. She deep fried a turkey, cooked a ham, served seafood and invited guests from all over North America. I’m sure she’s already planning the renewing of their vows, perhaps one of those beach weddings or something!

I’m not sure I’m up for the party. It’s out of town so we’d have to stay over night either at our friends or my parent in laws (also stressful!). I might just try to bow out gracefully. Hey, I need to be healthy by the time we hit Vegas next week right?

If I was feeling better I don’t think I’d mind going away for two days, but the way things are for me right now I think I’ll be putting my trip in jeopardy if I go to this party.

Maybe Chris can bring me a doggy bag?
