This weekend was a success. We went to Pat's friends wedding reception. It isn't what we imagined. There was never anyone on the dance floor except the same group of 5-6 people. The Bride and Groom never really were in sight. And there wasn't a cake. Just mini desserts that were gone once the last table was called. And we were at the last table. It was put together very nicely. The tables were beautiful and the music was fun. The food was very good and the drinks were free. Just like we like it. I was very afraid that it was going to turn out like the last wedding we went to. Where Pat and I were in our own little world because everyone had to pay attention to the loud ex. But not this time. No sir! We were on the dance floor all night, at the bar and out for food with all of Pat's friends. She had no pull on them that night. I guess they finally figured out that there is no reason to keep her around. Seeing that they have known Pat since grade school. All I have to say is that one couple will be sitting at the kids table at our wedding. Payback is a bitch :)

Then on Saturday we went to a Fisher Price Party. All you have to do is be one of the first ten to be picked and you get to host a party. They supply what you need. All you supply is food. For this one the host got 15 or so gift bags and a ton of toys. BIG toys. She ended up auctioning off one of them. We did not win. But I am not sad about it. We have enough toys! Holden had a bunch of fun with all the other kids and we had fun with the adults.

I guess I am hoping that this means we have people to play games with and go out to dinner with and hang out with. I want couples that want to hang out or be able to go out with or without their kids. I haven't gone out with friends in so long. We are always with family (not that I don't like going to the movies or going out to dinner with Pat's sister and my sister :) I need those kindof dates!) or people we don't like/get along with. I am forced to sit on my couch and act like I like someone because they have kids. I want to talk about TV shows, play an adult board game, go out to dinner and laugh about adult things. One of the friends I do like works at night and has a wonky schedule. So planning a night with her and her hubby is hard. Life shouldn't be this hard.
